The efficiency of hexose energy conversion to VFA (e-VFA, %) in the rumen of sheep. R1: basal diets; R2: basal diets + urea; R3: basal diets + non-activated nano-zeolite; R4: basal diets + thermal activated nano-zeolite; R5: basal diets + urea impregnated non-activated nano-zeolite; R6: basal diets + urea impregnated pre-thermal activated nano-zeolite. e-VFA: efficiency of energy conversion from hexose to VFAs. Different superscripts on the R1– R6 bars indicate e-VFA significant differences (p<0.05).
