One animal from the Control group,
one from the Citrus 24% group and one from the Citrus 35% group
performed very poorly during the experimental period for reasons
unrelated to the dietary treatments and were eliminated from the
trial. Therefore, the number of lambs retained in each treatment for
the subsequent determinations was 8 (Control group), 9 (Citrus 24%
group) and 9 (Citrus 35% group).
