Abstract:: ... The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of wheat bran feruloyl oligosaccharides (FOs) as an antioxidant supplement on performance, blood metabolites, antioxidant status and ruminal fermentation of lambs. Fifty, two-month-old crossbred male lambs (Dorper × Small-tail Han Sheep) with an initial body weight (BW) of 20.21 ± 3.36 kg were randomly assigned into five groups of ten ...
