Overview

Experimental investigation reveals high moisture corn improves weight performance and serum immune indices in Kazakh rams, suggesting dietary benefits.

Key Points

  • This research examines the impact of high-moisture corn on growth and immune response in Kazakh rams.
  • 32 Kazakh rams divided into control and experimental groups
  • Control group fed ordinary crushed corn
  • Experimental group fed a blend of ordinary crushed corn and high-moisture corn
  • 120-day feeding trial with weight performance and serum analysis
  • Rumen fermentation and metabolomic analyses conducted
  • Feed conversion ratio (F/G) was lower in the experimental group
  • Body weight and net weight gain increased by approximately 4.58% and 8.69% respectively
  • Serum IgA and IgM levels significantly increased in the experimental group
  • Antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD and CAT) were higher in the experimental group
  • Notable differences in rumen metabolites and microbial composition observed
