ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing linseed or sunflower oils to the growing male kids diets on growth performance, feed utilization, ruminal fermentation, blood metabolites, economic efficiency and carcass characteristics. Fifteen Zaraibi kids (aged 5 months and had 17.62 ± 0.19 kg live weight) were divided into 3 groups (5 kids each), according to their live body weight. The control group (G1) fed a basal ration consisted of 60% concentrate feed mixture (CFM) plus 40% berseem hay (BH) according to NRC (1981) allowances. Linseed oil and sunflower oil added to the control diet at level 3% of total DM intake for G2 and G3, respectively. The feeding trail lasted 120 days.The results of this study indicated that, the values of final live body weight of kids in tested groups (2 and 3) significantly higher than control group (G1), being 29.8 and 29.3 vs. 26.68 kg, respectively. These weights of G2 and G3 increased by 11.69 % and 9.82 % than weight of control (G1). Moreover, the results indicated that daily body gain (DBG)) recorded the highest value (101.67 g) with G2 followed by G3 (96.67 g) and lastly G1 (75.0 g) and the differences were significant. The DBG increased by 35.56 and 28.89% with G2 and G3, compared to control group (G1). The best-feed utilization efficiency, based on DM intake, was recorded with G2 (6.25) followed by G3 (6.62) in comparison with G1 (8.60), respectively. Moreover, the improvement in feed efficiency, based on CP, was 27.33 and 23.02 % for the two tested groups (G2 and G3), compared with control (G1). Thus, the feed economic efficiency was noticeably better by 4.89 % and 14.69% with adding linseed oil (G2) and sunflower oil (G3), at level 3% of total DM intake, respectively, compared with G1 (control). The obtained results showed that the daily DM intake decreased (63.09 vs. 60.06 and 59.12 g/kgw0.75) due to adding oil types to goats rations (G1 vs. G3 and G2, respectively).The experimental rations had no significant effect on ruminal pH values and total VFA's during 2, 4 and 6 hrs post-feeding. However, ammonia-N concentration and microbial protein, during 2, 4 and 6 hrs post-feeding, were significantly higher (p<0.05) with G2 and G3 compared to G1. The obtained results indicate that most tested blood profile parameters; serum glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, triglycerides and cholesterol not significantly affected by tested experimental rations. Meanwhile, kids of tested groups (G2 and G3) had higher (P<0.05) HDL and lower LDL than G1 kids.The tested groups (G2 and G3) had significant (p<0.05) better fasting weight, hot carcass and whole prime cuts, kg. Dressing percentages either for carcass with or without offal's increased with G2 and G3 compared to control (G1), but differences were not significant. Meanwhile, whole prime cuts, kg were significantly (p<0.05) higher with G2 and G3, being 10.91 kg and 9.96 kg, respectively compared to control diet (G1, 8.84 kg). Fat percentage in the carcasses increased by increasing slaughtering weight especially in tested groups fed oils types. Results showed no significant differences among the groups in percentages of most organs and offal's, but differences were less significant for head and feet of tested groups than control. Thus, no significant differences found between treatments and control diet in weight of organs and offal's of kids.Moreover, lean % in tested groups 2 and 3 were higher, being 58.21 % and 56.29 % compared with the control group (55.68 %). The same trended was observed on fat % in ribs of tested groups 2 and 3 which tended to be higher, (being 12.93 % and 12.47 % compared with the control group 11.15 %). . On the other hand, bone % in the ribs decreased with tested groups (G2 and G3), being 28.85 % and 31.25 % compared with the control group (G1, 31.84 %). Thechemical composition of longismus dorsi muscle tissues was similar across dietary treatments. The fat percentage (EE) on DM basis tended to increase in meat of animals fed oils diet (G2 and G3) compared to null-oil control (G1), while the CP, moisture and ash percentage tended to decrease.

ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study was to explore the influence of partial replacement of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) with corn steep liquor (CSL), as a low cost protein source, on growth / fattening performance and carcass quality of goat Zaraibi males. CSL added at four levels; 0, 10, 20, and 30%, based on crude protein content of the CFM.Twenty male goats of almost similar age (3 months), were divided into four equal groups, five kids each. Groups were assigned at random to receive the four experimental fattening rations, along 3 month experimental period. The control ration was consisted of CFM and rice strow (RS) without CSL (A) while tested rations B, C and D supplemented with 10, 20 and 30 % CSL on the expense of CP of CFM portion of the control ration, respectively.Results showed that total body weight gain was significantly higher with 10% CSL replacement level compared to the other three groups. The differences among treatments respecting hot carcass weight were not significant, but the heaviest weight correspondto ration (B). Dressing percentage (based on fasting weight) of kids was the highest for group fed ration (B), but without significant difference than rations A and D.Carcass cuts of group (B) was greater than the other groups (A), (C) and (D). Carcass composition of lean, fat and bone weights based on (9, 10, 11th ribs) did not significantly affected by the dietary treatments. The differences among the experimental tratments in respect of most offals and internal organs were not-significant.Chemical composition of lean in 9, 10, 11th ribs showed that protein content was higher with all tested rations (B , C and D) compared with control (A) and the differences were significant only between the ration had the low level of CSL (B) and the control (A). The highest fat % recorded with B followed by A while the lowest value detected with the high level of CSL (D). On the other hand, the effect of the tested rations on ash and moisture percentages as well as PH and color were not-significant.

ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of replacing concentrate feed (CFM) mixture with different levels of treated orange pulp (TOP) on growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrients digestibility and blood parameters of growing lambs. Eighteen Barki lambs in three similar groups fed concentrate feed mixture and berseem hay at rate 60:40. Citrus pulp replaced CFM in rations T1, T2 and T3 at rates 0, 20 and 40 %, respectively. Feeding trial lasted 90 days. Average daily gain (ADG) showed a significant increase with increasing levels of replacement. Inclusion of 20 and 40% of TOP in the diet increased dry matter intake (DMI) compared to the control group. Ruminal ammonia-N concentration showed a linear decrease. Ruminal fluid pH not affect with increasing replacement of CFM by TOP. Acetate concentration showed a linear increase. On the other hand, blood total protein and cholesterol showed linear increase. Organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber showed a quadratic effect with the level of replacement. The results showed that using treated orange pulp (TOP) at rates 20 or 40% instead of CFM had better daily gain, more feed efficiency and lowest cost with the highest economic efficiency. The results of the present study show that replacement of CFM by TOP improved and enhanced ADG for replacement level 40%. Meanwhile, no adverse effects noticed on growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrients digestibility and blood parameters.

ABSTRACTThis study conducted to evaluate the influence of Ziziphus spina-christi leaves (ZSCL) as natural growth promoter and monensin as a synthetic growth promoter when both were supplemented into the basal diet that consisted of 40% berseem hay and 60% concentrate feed mixture (CFM) which served as control ration (R1). Tested rations consisted of control ration supplemented with 30 mg monensin (R2) or 15 g ZSCL (R3), per Kg DM intake. Nine Ossimi rams averaged 65±2.7 kg live body weight, 16-18 months old divided into 3 groups (3 animals each) according to live body weight for nutrients digestibility and dietary nitrogen utilization. Three Ossimi rams with rumen fistulae per treatment were used for rumen fermentation activity and total gas production. Twenty-one Rahmani lambs averaged 24±0.48 kg body weight and 4 months old divided into 3 groups (7 animals each) according to live weight for 120 days to investigate the growth performance of growing lambs fed the experimental rations. Results revealed no differences among the rations (P>0.05) in daily feed intake. Also, no effect was observed on digestibility of DM, EE and NFE among the experimental rations, while, digestibility of OM and CP in R2 ration were significantly (P<0.05) higher than R1 (control group), but similar to R3 ration. The rumen pH at 4 hrs after feeding did not significantly affected by rations. Total VFA concentration was significantly lower (P<0.05) with R2 ration compared with R1 and R3 rations. Ammonia-N, concentration also followed the same trend of TVFA’S among the experimental rations. Total gas production reduced (P<0.05) for R2 and R3 on incubation times; 24 hrs by (38.96 and 14.44%, respectively) and 48 hrs by (28.19 and 10.16 %, respectively), whilst, at 72 hrs time of incubation, total gas production significantly reduced (P<0.05) with R2 ration than R1 and R3 while no significant differences found between the two latter ones. Values of final weight and total gain of R2 were significant higher (P<0.05) than those of R1, but insignificant higher than R3. While, daily gain of R2 was significantly higher than R3. Therefore, the use of either monensin or ZSCL (15 g /kg DM) is highly recommended in the feeding practices of growing lambs as feed additives.

ABSTRACTSix combinations of the tree foliage leaves, Cassava (CL), Acacia Saligna (ASL) and Prosopis juliflora (PL) were tested, CL (100%), ASL (100%), PL (100%), CL plus ASL (50:50), CL plus PL (50:50) and CL plus ASL plus PL (50:25:25), respectively. Then these six combinations were mixed with ammoniated rice straw (ARS) (50: 50) on dry matter basis. Protein content in tested plants was higher in CL (22.22%) compared to ASL (16.67%) and PL (17.02%), while protein content in mixtures of tree foliage leaves have close protein contents. The content of NDF and ADF in CL was lower than the rest of plants tested and their mixtures. The lowest amounts of potential-GP and potential-CH4 were shown with diets containing CL (T1) and ASL (T2) with ammoniated rice straw, while mixing the leaves of CL with ASL and/or PL raised the quantities of GP and CH4 released. Combination of foliage leaves with ammoniated rice straw in T4, T5 and T6 diets significantly (P<0.05) improved DM, OM and NDF degradability compared to T1, T2 and T3 diets containing tested leaves separately with ARS. The mixture of PL with ARS in T3 and T6 significantly (P<0.05) increased benefit of metabolizable energy (ME) compared to the CL or ASL with ARS in T1, T2, T4 and T5 diets. There was a positive correlation (r = 0.66, P<0.05) and (r = 0.60, P<0.05) between in vitro neutral detergent fiber degradability (IVNDFD) and both microbial protein (MP) and CH4, respectively. Also, positive correlation (r = 0.76, P<0.05) and (r = 0.65 P<0.05) where shown between MP and both GP and CH4, respectively. The decrease of CT concentration increased NH3-N, SCFA’s, MP, and bacteria count and vice versa. There was no effect of different treatments on pH, protozoa count, propionic, A/P and Butyric. Mixture of separate foliage leaves with ARS in tested diet significantly (P<0.05) increased the amount of refused feed, especially for T1 and T2 diets. In contrast, the amount of feed refusal declined when combining different species of foliage leaves together.The presence of CL and PL separate in tested diets (T1 and T3) or combined into the tested diets (T5) improved digestion of DM, OM, NDF, and ADF% compared to ASL. No significant differences found in protein digestion among tested diets. The results of the N balance showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in T3, T4 and T5 compared to other tested diets (T1, T2 and T6).In conclusion, using foliage leaves rich in tannins to form of feed mixtures could help overcoming the negative effect of CT and reduce CH4 emitted.

ABSTRACTThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of replacing concentrate feed (CFM) mixture with different levels of treated orange pulp (TOP) on growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrients digestibility and blood parameters of growing lambs. Eighteen Barki lambs in three similar groups fed concentrate feed mixture and berseem hay at rate 60:40. Citrus pulp replaced CFM in rations T1, T2 and T3 at rates 0, 20 and 40 %, respectively. Feeding trial lasted 90 days. Average daily gain (ADG) showed a significant increase with increasing levels of replacement. Inclusion of 20 and 40% of TOP in the diet increased dry matter intake (DMI) compared to the control group. Ruminal ammonia-N concentration showed a linear decrease. Ruminal fluid pH not affect with increasing replacement of CFM by TOP. Acetate concentration showed a linear increase. On the other hand, blood total protein and cholesterol showed linear increase. Organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber showed a quadratic effect with the level of replacement. The results showed that using treated orange pulp (TOP) at rates 20 or 40% instead of CFM had better daily gain, more feed efficiency and lowest cost with the highest economic efficiency. The results of the present study show that replacement of CFM by TOP improved and enhanced ADG for replacement level 40%. Meanwhile, no adverse effects noticed on growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrients digestibility and blood parameters.

Tested rations consisted of control ration supplemented with 30 mg monensin (R2) or 15 g ZSCL (R3), per Kg DM intake. Nine Ossimi rams averaged 65±2.7 kg live body weight, 16-18 months old divided into 3 groups (3 animals each) according to live body weight for nutrients digestibility and dietary nitrogen utilization. Three Ossimi rams with rumen fistulae per treatment were used for rumen fermentation activity and total gas production. Twenty-one Rahmani lambs averaged 24±0.48 kg body weight and 4 months old divided into 3 groups (7 animals each) according to live weight for 120 days to investigate the growth performance of growing lambs fed the experimental rations. Results revealed no differences among the rations (P>0.05) in daily feed intake. Also, no effect was observed on digestibility of DM, EE and NFE among the experimental rations, while, digestibility of OM and CP in R2 ration were significantly (P

ABSTRACTSix combinations of the tree foliage leaves, Cassava (CL), Acacia Saligna (ASL) and Prosopis juliflora (PL) were tested, CL (100%), ASL (100%), PL (100%), CL plus ASL (50:50), CL plus PL (50:50) and CL plus ASL plus PL (50:25:25), respectively. Then these six combinations were mixed with ammoniated rice straw (ARS) (50: 50) on dry matter basis. Protein content in tested plants was higher in CL (22.22%) compared to ASL (16.67%) and PL (17.02%), while protein content in mixtures of tree foliage leaves have close protein contents. The content of NDF and ADF in CL was lower than the rest of plants tested and their mixtures. The lowest amounts of potential-GP and potential-CH4 were shown with diets containing CL (T1) and ASL (T2) with ammoniated rice straw, while mixing the leaves of CL with ASL and/or PL raised the quantities of GP and CH4 released. Combination of foliage leaves with ammoniated rice straw in T4, T5 and T6 diets significantly (P
