Abstract
Thirty-six growing ram lambs were divided into three equal groups, each of which was fed ad libitum a different diet for 104 days. A control group was fed a post-weaning diet whereas the other two groups were fed the same diet but supplemented with 3.5% of a cement kiln dust that originated from either of two different sources. The average daily weight gains were 0.24, 0.26 and 0.24 kg, and feed/gain ratios were 5.02, 4.75 and 4.84 for the control, and the two kiln dust treatments, respectively. The cement kiln dust supplements were found to produce no beneficial effects in growing lambs.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
