The present study was planed to appraise the effect of concentrate with or without ionophores and probiotics on nutrients intake, nutrients digestibilities, blood metabolites, nitrogen balance, weight gain and its economic in twenty four weaned male Lohi lambs of four months of age. All lambs were randomly and equally divided into each of three groups. In this trial, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) intake of % body weight were unaltered in concentrate (C), ionophores (CI) and probiotics (CP) diets. The DM, CP and ADF digestibilities were also non-significant (p greater than 0.05) in all treatments, where as NDF digestibility was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in CI and CP. Nitrogen balance was unaltered (p greater than 0.05) in all lambs in all treatments.
