Chia seeds and pumpkin seeds in dairy sheep diets

Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed (CS) and Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) seed (PS) are used in ruminant diets as energy sources. The current experiment studied the impact of dietary inclusion of CS and PS on nutrient intake and digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of dairy sheep.

奇亚（Salvia hispanica L.）籽（CS）与南瓜（Cucurbita moschata）籽（PS）常作为能量源应用于反刍动物日粮中。本试验探究了日粮中添加CS与PS对奶绵羊的营养摄入量、消化率、产奶量及乳成分的影响。
