Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of this experiment is to compare the effects of corn kernels soaked and crushed in two different processing methods on voluntary feed intake (VFI) and digestion of sheep. It provides a reference for improving the digestion and feeding of corn pellets by sheep. 【Method】 Six healthy small-tailed Han sheep rams aged 3 years old and weighing (55.0±3.8) kg were randomly divided into 3 groups with 2 in each group. According to the 3×3 Latin square design, each group of sheep was fed diets with the same composition (70% mixed concentrate + 30% crushed corn stalks, including 55% corn) but with different corn treatments during the three experimental periods. 1, 2 and 3), that is, whole corn as the control group (Diet 1), crushed corn (Diet 2), and whole corn soaked for 60 to 72 hours (Diet 3). 【Result】 The VFI of the three diets were (1,566.9±121.6), (1,579.6±98.5)and (1,466.1±101.2) g/sheep/day. Diet 3 was significantly lower than diets 1 and 2 by 6.4% (P<0.05) and 7.2% (P<0.05). The AD of DM was (57.92±0.63), (62.63±0.53), and (66.39±0.75%) and diet 3 was significantly increased by 14.6% (P<0.05) and 6.0% (P<0.05) compared with diets 1 and 2. The DM digestibility was (907.5±59.4), (989.3±92.5) and (953.4±78.5) g/sheep/day. Diet 3 was significantly increased by 5.0% (P<0.05) and decreased by 3.6% (P<0.05) compared with diets 1 and 2. However, diet 3 and diet 2 had no significant difference in crude fiber digestibility and digestibility compared with diet 1 (P> 0.05). 【Conclusion】 Feeding sheep with soaked corn in the diet will reduce the sheep's VFI, but at the same time will increase the AD of the sheep, indicating that the soaked corn feeding is more conducive to promoting the digestion of the sheep.
