this project was conducted to evaluation the effects of replacement of barley grain with corn grain on fatteningperformance of male lambs. twenty five male lambs (6-7 month-old, average body weight = 31.22 ± 3.4 kg) were assigned randomly to five dietary treatments (5 lambs/treatment) in a randomized complete design. the first diet contained barley grain without corn grain but in the other diet...

The subcutaneous implantation of stilboestrol pellets in ewe and wether feeder lambs has been shown to result in a faster rate of gain in weight (Andrews, Beeson & Harper, 1949; Jordan, 1950; O’Mary, Pope, Wilson, Bray & Casida, 1952; Means, Andrews & Beeson, 1953 ; Andrews & Beeson, 1953 ; Bell, Smith & Erhart, 1954; Clegg, Albaugh, Lucas & Weir, 1955). With from 12 to 36 mg stilboestrol the i...

Received 9 September 2011, accepted 6 January 2012. Abstract The lack of knowledge about different physiological responses among indigenous sheep breeds raised in arid hot regions promoted the researcher to monitor a metabolic and a reproductive hormone in male lambs of two common breeds in Saudi Arabia. Forty eight growing male lambs (age 3-5 months) were grown in a private farm for fattening ...

This study aims to determine the effects of inclusion waste sesame seed (WSS) concentrate feed on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat fatty acid profile Karayaka lambs. A total twenty-three lambs were randomly allocated a control group (11 lambs, with an average live weight 23.39±0.58 kg) experimental (12 23.55±0.41 kg). Also, each was divided into two subgroups according their gende...

Several local sheep breeds of the Alpine regions are in danger extinction as a result mountain farms being abandoned. Three fattening trials were carried out on 4 Veneto region (Foza, Lamon, Alpagota, and Brogna) total 115 ewes suckling lambs, weaned lambs heavy slaughtered at 1356 ± 267, 104 24, 219 26, 342 14 d age, respectively. The results confirmed that adoption mixed diets resulted good v...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of feeding different levels of whole cottonseed (0, 5, 10 and 15 % wsc) on dry matter intake (dmi), live weight gain and feed conversion ratio (fcr), carcass efficiency and small intestinal morphology of arabi finishing lambs. thirty-six arabi male lambs (29.8±1.6 kg) were allocated to 4 groups according to a completely randomized design. the di...

the effects of different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage of dry matter) of apple pomace ensiled with urea were investigated on 24 ghezel male lambs in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates. the average starting weight and age of the lambs were 31.27 ± 7.40 and 187 ± 37 days, respectively. after 15 days of adaptation, the lambs were individually fed with expe...
