Lambs were divided into five groups (n = 4) and then housed in individual pens during 70 d. Treatments consisted of five levels of FOP (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) which substituted buffel grass hay on the base diet (40:60%, forage:concentrate). Additionally, changes in chemical composition of FOP stored in stack during 8 d were evaluated (from the day 1 until day 8). Daily feed intake expressed as kg/day and % live weight, lamb growth rate, feeding cost of each lamb per day and per fattening period, hemicellulose intake, and DM, OM, CP, NDF and hemicellulose digestibility showed a quadratic effect (P &lt; 0.05), while DM, OM and CP intake presented a cubic effect (P &lt; 0.05) with the increasing level of FOP. The maximum estimated value for those variables was observed at 75% of hay replacement with FOP. With respect to changes in chemical composition of pulp stored, DM content increased (P = 0.0011) from 210 to 310 g/kg FOP and OM, fiber fraction, and ash content were constant (P &gt; 0.05) among storage days. Therefore, replacing around 75% of buffel grass hay with FOP in diets for fattening lambs resulted in the best growth rate and more efficient diet utilization. Fresh orange pulp stored in a stack did not change its chemical composition, and did not affect its utilization as a sheep feedstuff.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000273854900013</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">546ZSTimes Cited:0Cited References Count:26</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avendano-Reyes, LUniv Autonoma Baja California, Inst Ciencias Agr, Blvd Delta S-N, Ejido Nuevo Leon 21705, Baja California, MexicoUniv Autonoma Baja California, Inst Ciencias Agr, Blvd Delta S-N, Ejido Nuevo Leon 21705, Baja California, MexicoUniv Autonoma Baja California, Inst Ciencias Agr, Ejido Nuevo Leon 21705, Baja California, MexicoNew Mexico State Univ, Dept Anim &amp; Range Sci, Las Cruces, NM 88003 USAUniv Autonoma Tamaulipas, Unidad Acad Multidisciplinaria Agron &amp; Ciencias, Ciudad Victoria 87149, Tamaulipas, Mexico</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
