ABSTRACT
Five mature Arabi rams was used to study the effect of five different diets via control, control + 10% Poultry Excreta (PE), control + 10%PE + 3 gm yeast (S. cerevisiae)/kg, control + 1.5% urea and control + 1.5% urea + 3 gm yeast, by using Latin squares design on consumption and rumen metabolism. Control ration consist of 40% concentrate (60% barley, 36% wheat bran and 4% soybean meal) and 60% wheat straw on dry basis. Generally chemical composition of concentrate, wheat straw and poultry excreta were close to tabulated value of NRC. DM, OM and NDF consumption of control + yeast + PE and control + yeast + urea significantly exceeded those of other groups. pH, total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen of rumen fluids followed the same trend as consumption.
