rumen liquid metagenome
The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing dietary corn stover with walnut green husk at different ratios (7.5% and 15%) on growth performance and rumen fermentation parameters in Dorper crossbred male lambs. Walnut green husk is an agricultural byproduct often discarded as waste, causing environmental issues. By incorporating it into sheep diets, this study aimed to identify an alternative feed resource to reduce feeding costs and agro-waste accumulation. The findings are relevant for promoting sustainable livestock production, improving feed efficiency, and supporting the utilization of regional agricultural byproducts in ruminant feeding systems.
