Resumen o descripción

Relationships of Residual Feed Intake (RFI) on hematological and biochemical parameters were determined in Rambouillet sheep. After feeding period of 42 days (research period), RFI was calculated in 1 6 rams and 24 ewes. Lowest negative and highest positive RFI (< 0.5 SD below the mean and> 0.5 SD above the mean, respectively) rams (n= 8) and ewes (n= 12) were selected. From RFI-categorized sheep, hematological and biochemical parameters were evaluated at day 0, 21 and 42 and at day 0 and 42 of the feeding period, respectively. Positive RFI ewes (less efficient) tended (p< 0.10) to have more red blood cells (RBC, IO6 uL)(9.66 vs. 7.68) and less Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH, pg)(9.59 vs. 12.95) than negative RFI ewes. Positive RFI rams have (p< 0.05) more RBC (9.27 vs. 6.67) and White Blood Cells (WBC, 103uL)(10.25 vs 7.77), less Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV; 30.98 vs. 44.11£ L …
