Extract

Pith bagasse one of industrial agriculture’s by product that is produced by several sugar cane factories in south west of Iran. The low dry matter digestibility of pith bagasse is influence by crud fibre content and is the reason of the poor quality. It is claimed that low dry matter digestibility improve by steam pressure hydrolysis (Medeiros et al. 1993, pessoa et al. 1997). There isn’t adequate information about the effect of hydrolyzed pith bagasse in ruminant nutrition. Therefore the aim of this experiment was to examine the effect of dietary containing different levels of pith bagasse on performance and carcass characteristics of fattening Arabi lambs.
