Abstract
An experiment of 90 days duration was carried out on fourteen adult sheep to
study the effect of Solid State Fermentation Biomass on their digestibility and nutrient
utilization. The sheep under control group (T1) were fed total mixed ration without
SSF biomass where as sheep under treatment group (T2) were fed TMR with @ 4%
SSF biomass. Quantity of TMR offered was adjusted at weekly interval according to
change in body weight of sheep. Individual feeding of all the sheep was carried out
during the study period. The nutrient requirements of sheep in term of DCP and TDN
were met as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards.
