Effects of mixing broiler litter with wheat straw before deep-stacking and alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment on feed intake, digestibility and performance in mature wethers. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 9: 153–174 Mature wethers (32, 17 mo of age and 41±1.3 kg body weight) were used, in an 84-d experiment to determine effects on feed intake, digestibility and performance of substituting deep-stacked broiler litter for wheat straw, alkaline hydrogen peroxide (HP) treatment of litter and (or) straw and stacking of litter separately vs mixed with straw. Diets were offered once daily and were comprised primarily of straw (S), straw treated with HP (TS), straw plus stacked litter (1:1, dry matter; S+L), HP-treated straw plus stacked litter (TS+L), straw plus litter treated with HP before stacking (S+TL), HP-treated straw plus litter treated with HP before deep-stacking (T...
