The study aimed to evaluate the optimum BO inclusion level in lamb diets. Sixty-five Santa Ines lambs were distributed in two completely randomized experiments with five treatments each (BO inclusion at 0 (control), 12, 24, 36 and 48 g\/kg dry matter (DM) total). The BO supplementation to partially replace ground corn linearly decreased the nutrient intake and digestibility of DM, ether extract and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), N\u00b0 chews\/bolus, DM and NDF rumination or eating efficiencies, the N intake and N balance, carcass weights and yields, and dressing content of lamb carcasses (p &lt; 0.05). The addition of BO responded quadratically to DM eating efficiency and N-fecal and N-urinary excretion (p &lt; 0.05). The linear response plateau (LRP) analysis demonstrated that the levels of 0 and 12 g\/kg of BO were similar, and improved intake and digestibility and consequently performance (p &lt; 0.001). There was a linear increase in feed efficiency and shrinkage after chilling with the BO inclusion replacing ground corn. The inclusion of 12 g\/kg BO in the total DM of diet is recommended, because it improves feeding intake, digestibility and performance of lambs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10111973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,29]],"date-time":"2020-10-29T21:21:00Z","timestamp":1604006460000},"page":"1973","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Effects of the Dietary Inclusion of Buriti Oil on Lamb Performance, Carcass Traits, Digestibility, Nitrogen Balance, Ingestive Behavior and Blood Metabolites"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5569-3284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana","family":"Diog\u00e9nes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Health and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Campina Grande, Avenida Universit\u00e1ria, s\/n-Jatob\u00e1, Patos PB 58708110, Patos, Para\u00edba, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8815-3946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leilson","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Health and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Campina Grande, Avenida Universit\u00e1ria, s\/n-Jatob\u00e1, Patos PB 58708110, Patos, Para\u00edba, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Pereira Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Health and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Campina Grande, Avenida Universit\u00e1ria, s\/n-Jatob\u00e1, Patos PB 58708110, Patos, Para\u00edba, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6001-2180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jarbas","family":"Silva Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Federal University of Bahia, Av.
