Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of crude glycerin addition containing 80.5% glycerol on nutrient intake, digestibility, performance and blood parameters of lambs in feedlot. We used 40 Santa Ines crossbred uncastrated male lambs, with 21 kg ± 0.8 kg initial body weight. These were designed in randomised blocks, with ten replications of each of four treatments: 0, 6, 12 and 18% crude glycerin. There was a quadratic effect (P 0.05) on cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, globulin, creatinine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyl transferase. The addition of crude glycerin may be included in lamb diets up to 18%.
