      abstract = {Objective: To evaluate the global warming potential index  (GWPI) and in vitro gas production (GP) of  fattening diets  in lambs fed with silage of agricultural by-products of  nopal cladodes and prickly pear (Opuntia  ficus-indica L.)  - hibiscus grain (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) - oats straw  (Avena sativa L.). Design/methodology/approach: The GP  technique was used to obtain the GWPI of isoproteic (crude   protein (CP)) and isoenergetic diets (15% CP and 2.8 Mcal  ME (metabolizable energy)) without silage (DWS;  control),  with corn silage (CSD) and with 10 or 20% of nopal-prickly  pear-hibiscus grain-oat straw silage  (DEN10, DEN20), fed  for 60 days to 24 Creole fattening sheep. Results: In vitro  dry matter digestibility at 72 h (DIVMS72) was better in  CSD, but similar for DEN10, DEN20,  and CSD. DEN10 and  DEN20 had the lowest CH4 production, GWPI, and  environmental impact index (EII).  The low fermentable  fraction (LF; GP24-72 h) was related to DIVMS72.  Findings/conclusions: The cactus pear-hibiscus grain silage  inclusion (DEN10, DEN20) in conventional diets  had no  effect on DIVMS72, but decreased CH4 emissions and the  GWPI.},
