Sažetak

The objective of the research was to determine the effect of the feeding frequency on alfalfa dry matter (DM) ad libitum intake and in vivo digestibility in wether sheep. Wethers were fed 80 grams of DM d-1 kg-1 metabolic liveweight (M0.75) in 1,2, 4 or 8 meals d-1. Alfalfa haylage contained 423 g DM kg-1 fresh sample, 168 g CP kg-1 DM, 492 g neutral detergent fibre (NDF) kg-1 DM. The frequency of feeding have no effect on fresh matter ad libitum intake (g d-1) (P>0,05), on DM intake (g d-1) neither on DM digestibility (g kg-1). The feeding frequency of 1x d-1 and 8x d-1 increased DM intake (g kg-1 M0,75) (P<0.05) in comparison with the feeding frequency of 2x d-1 and 4x d-1.
