THE NUTRITIVE VALUE OF BROILER LITTER AS A FEED SOURCE FOR SHEEP DURING PERIODS OF FEED SHORTAGE by DAVID THELE MA VIMBELA SUPERVISOR: Prof J B Jansen van Ryssen DEP ARTMENT: Animal & Wildlife Sciences DEGREE: PhD in Agriculture ABSTRACT The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the use of broiler litter as a survival feed for sheep. In growth and partial digestibility studies South African Mutton Merino wethers were used to investigate the utilization of broiler litter in sheep and the consequences it could have on the animals. Prior to each trial the sheep were vaccinated against botulism and it was ensured that the litter was well dried and free of lumps or dead chickens.The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the use of broiler litter as a survival feed for sheep. In growth and partial digestibility studies South African Mutton Merino wethers were used to investigate the utilization of broiler litter in sheep and the consequences it could have on the animals. Prior to each trial the sheep were vaccinated against botulism and it was ensured that the litter was well dried and free of lumps or dead chickens. The crude protein concentration of the broiler litter obtained from different sources was approximately 200 g/kg, which is low comparing to published results elsewhere in the world. A surprisingly low uric acid concentration was measured in the one sample analysed. The litter did not contain abnormally high copper concentrations. One consignment of litter contained apparently a substantial proportion of soil that
