Abstract: This experiment was conducted to study effects of rumen protected Lysine and Methionine supplements on ruminant fermentation and roughages degradability of small-tail han sheep.A total of 10 small-tail han sheep((45±2.6) kg of body weight) with permanent rumen cannula were selected for the study.The study was conducted in three replicates,each of which lasted for 15 days(12 days of pre-testing period and 3 days of formal test period).Different supplements of protected l ysine and methionine were added into basal diet.Protected amino acids supplements had no effects on rumen pH,NH3-N concentration and VFA concentration(P>0.05).Compared to control group,mycoprotein content in group I was higher(P<0.01).Appropriate protected amino acids supplements could significantly improve the DM,ADF rumen degradation rate(P<0.05) but not the CF,NDF ruminal degradation rates(P>0.05).It could be concluded from results that the appropriate supplement of protected Lysine and Methionine was 8.4,2.4 g/d per sheep under the experimental conditions,respectively.
