English Abstract

The aim of this study were determine the effects of soybean meal (SBM) dried distillers grains with soluble (DDGS) and corn gluten meal (CGM) as a sources of protein in ration formulation of Awassi lamb with two ratios of crude protein(CP) equivalent to10 % and 13 % SBM treatments was , T1 SBM 10 % , T 2 DDGS 20 %, T 3 CGM 7 % , T 4 SBM 13 % , T 5 DDGS 26 % , T6 CGM 8.5 % on production performance, digestibility, rumen pH, and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N).

twenty-four male Awassi lamb, aged 3-4 months and average live weight of 20±0.25 kg, were distributed into Six groups each group contain 4 lambs in a completely randomized design experiment.

Animal were fed on concentrate diet in base of 3.5 % of live body weight.

In the last week of this period, all feces were collected to determine digestibility, and The rumen samples also were collected.

Results showed improved feed conversation ratio significantly for treatment two (4.40) compared to other treatments.

Final live weight average total gain and average daily gain ADG of lambs were significantly (P<0.05) in T 2 and T 5 diet 43.375and 43.025 kg , 21.570 , 22.400 kg and 266.369 , 266.666 g / d ,respectively.

Digestibility coefficients were significantly (P<0.05) in Dry Matter Organic Matter, Crude Protein and Crude Fibers with Lamb fed T 2 (79.26 , 81.42 , 76.99 and 81.73) ,and T 5 ((78.72 , 80.64 , 76.61 and 80.86) , respectively.

All ruminal parameters were within the normal values.

Generally, it may be concluded that using DDGS in ration formulation of fattening Awassi lambs get better performance of animals
