FEEDING OF LAMBS WITH IMPROVED PELLETED FEED

The feed costs are the major expenses for farmers and main input that influenced economics of livestock production. physical form diet is one drivers better digestibility improved growth performance farm animals. This study aimed to evaluate effect using two different forms (ground mixtures pelleted mixtures) on fattening lambs. Seventy-two lambs were randomly assigned groups with 36 assess effects feeding (test group) ground (control performance. Two (pelleted vs. ground) equal in ingredient chemical composition. duration experiment was 42 days. At beginning trial, test group had lower average live body weight daily gain compared control group. However, at end a mixture achieved higher gain. results from ANOVA depending indicate there statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between 5th 6th week trial. These support possibility feeds intensive improving performance, increasing reducing period.
