This study explained Enhancing Fattening Lamb Performance with Spirulina platensis: Insights into Growth, Blood Metabolism, and Antioxidant Status. 20 lambs. (7-8 months old, (45.0±0.5 kg) were randomly divided two groups, one group receiving a commercial diet the second same but 1g/10kg B.W/day of platensis powder. The lambs weighed at various points during 42-day experiment results showed tha...

Seventy-nine to ninety-three percent of 49 young lambs less than 3 months old, which were too small to go to the meat works at the time of the first draft, showed sub-clinical lesions of enzootic pneumonia when examined post-mortem. Later samples from the same population showedthat some, but not all, lambs developed pleurisy. During the months that the lambs were growing and fattening, the prev...

The study was conducted on 20 Polish Merino ram-lambs divided into two groups: experimental (E) and control (C), each of 10 animals. From birth all the lambs were maintained with their dams and then weaned at the age of 8 weeks, placed in individual straw-bedded pens and fattened individually with a granulated concentrate mixture until reaching a mean body weight of 31.8 kg. During fattening ea...

In sheep, susceptibility to scrapie is associated with the prion protein (PrP) gene polymorphism. In this study the association between selected growth traits (daily weight gain from birth to weaning and in farm fattening performance test, as well as body weight at one and two years) and PrP genotypes ARR/ARR, ARR/XXX and XXX/XXX (XXX representing AHQ, ARQ, ARH or VRQ) has been investigated in ...

This study was conducted to compare fatty acid composition and content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in different regions of sheep carcasses. Lambs of the Dağlıç breed were used for this purpose. Subsequent to a 68-day period of intensive fattening, fatty acids were examined in samples taken from the legs, shoulders, breasts, and ribs of lamb carcasses. According to the analysis, in leg, sh...

in this research, effects of adding methafix (containing malate and fumarate as organic acids) with or without monensin in diet of fattening farahani lamb's on performance, and plasma concentration of some metabolites and minerals were investigated. twenty-four male lambs (4-6 months old, 35.9 ±7.4 kg) were randomly  assigned to; 1) control diet (control), 2) control with 24 mg of monensin...

This study was aimed to determine the effect of feeding lambs diets with different proportions of double-low rapeseed and linseed and their supplementation with vitamin E on selected parameters of health quality of lamb meat. Lambs were fattened intensively to 30–35 kg body weight with a standard diet and experimental diets containing 10% full-fat rapeseed and linseed at a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio, wit...
