Short summary
Soybean oil (SO) is used in animal feed due to the metabolic energy that it provides. Our study on metabolic and ingestive behavior, as well as rumen parameters, revealed that its inclusion in lamb diets reduced dry matter (DM), carbohydrate, and nitrogen intake. However, rumen parameters, such as total volatile fatty acids and methane production, were unaffected. We conclude that SO can be included at up to 30 g kg-1 DM as an energy source in diets for feedlot sheep containing 60 % concentrate.
