Grape seed extract (GSE) has a variety of biological functions. At present, there been limited information on the utilization GSE as feed additive in weaned lambs. The aim this experiment was to study potential influence dietary supplementation with growth performance, rumen fermentation characteristics, apparent digestibility, blood parameters and immunity In total, 30 male Hu sheep lambs similar body weight (15.43 ± 0.49 kg) age (48 2 days) were randomly divided into two treatments: control (CON, fed basal ration) [fed ration 0.6 g/d (main compositions: proanthocyanidin 50%, catechin 24%, gallic acid 16% epicatechin 6%) per lamb]. feeding lasted for 60 d.
