| Thirty growing Rahmani lambs (27.25 kg ± 0.25 kg average body weight 6-7 months old) were used to evaluate the impact of incorporating Moringaoleifera seed cake as protein source in a total mixed ration (TMR) for 90 days feeding trial followed by 21 day digestion. Moringaoleifera seed cake (MSC) was used for partial substitution of soybean meal protein by (0, 25 and 50 %) in three experimental rations, control (R1), R2 and R3, respectively. Results indicated that the feeding lambs on R3 recorded a significant (P<0.05) increases in all of nutrients digestibility and nutritive value compared with R1 or R2. All of rumen parameters, pH, ammonia and total volatile fatty acids, were in normal ranges as an indication of healthy. Also, the highest average... |
