Diets were composed of mixtures of hay and acacia (D1: 39 and 61 per cent respectively) and B1 (D2) or B2 (D3) (26, 55 and 19 per cent respectively). Adding blocks in D2, resulted in increased gas production (P less than 0.01) and an increased, though not significant, VFA production and FOM when compared to D1. PEG in D3 increased gas (P less than 0.01) and total VFA (P less than 0.05) productions and FOM (P less than 0.05) when compared to D1. Feed blocks in D2 resulted in increased ND and ANU comparatively with D1 (P less than 0.01). PEG (D3) increased ND and ANU when compared to both D1 and D2 (P less than 0.01). Consuming PEG (D3) resulted in greater intake of acacia (P less than 0.05) and higher growth of lambs (P less than 0.01) when compared to D2.
