title = "Effect of Feeding Methione Hydroxy Analog on the Concentration of Protozoa in Rumen of Sheep",
abstract = "Two separate lots of 12 lambs were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 4 sheep each. Groups received rations of grain alone, grain + methionine hydroxy analog or grain + hay with either urea or soybean oil meal as the primary nitrogen source. After a ration adjustment period of 3 weeks, rumen samples were obtained on 3 successive weeks. Protozoa concentration was significantly higher in the grain + methionine hydroxy analog-fed sheep (P < 0.01) over the grain-alone group, but significantly lower than the grain + hay-fed sheep (urea P < 0.05-SBOM P < 0.01).",

note = "Funding Information: Two lots of 12 wether lambs (5 months of age) were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 4 sheep per group. The first lot received a grain ration with urea as the primary nitrogen source; the second lot received a ration based on soybean oil meal (Table 1). Treatment groups were fed either grain alone, grain + hay, or grain + MHA mixed at 11 g/ 1 Authorized for publication as paper no. 3693 in the Journal Series of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station. 2 Supported in part by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and PHS Grant no.
