this study was conducted to investigate the effect of replacing barley with different levels of ground date seeds (gds) in the diet (0, 15, 3o and 45%) on performance of local growing male goats. sixteen local male kids (average live weight 16.1±1.41 kg) were allocated randomly to four treatments (4 animal/treatment). the trial consisted of a 14 day acclimatization period followed by a 60-day m...

The mycoflora on the hair in 25 samples of each of goats and sheep collected from Libya was analyzed using two isolation methods at 25℃. Seventy species and 3 varieties belonging to 31 genera were collected from the two substrates. The hairs of sheep were polluted with fungi than goat, contained high total counts and number of genera and species. Two species of true dermatophytes were isolated ...
