ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pembatasan waktu makan terhadap konsentrasi hormon tiroid dan metabolit darah ayam broiler selama periode pembatasan dan pemulihan. Sebanyak 400 ekor ayam broiler unsexed strain Lohmann umur 7 hari ditempatkan pada 5 perlakuan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dan dianalisa menggunakan ANOVA. Perlakuan terdiri atas: ransum yang diberikan ad libitum (R-0); ransum yang disediakan 2 jam pada pagi hari dari pukul 08:00-10:00 dan 2 jam pada sore hari dari pukul 16:00-18:00 dari umur 7 hingga 14 hari (R-1) dan umur 7 hingga 21 hari (R-2); ransum disediakan 4 jam pada pagi hari dari pukul 08:00-12:00 dan 4 jam pada sore hari dari pukul 16:00-20:00 dari umur 7 hingga 14 hari (R-3) dan umur 7 hingga 21 hari (R-4). Setiap perlakuan memiliki ulangan sebanyak 4 dengan jumlah ayam sebanyak 20 ekor/unit. Konsentrasi hormon tiroid dan plasma albumin pada R-2 dan R-4 lebih rendah (P<0,05) daripada R-0 selama pembatasan waktu makan dari umur 7 hingga 21 hari. Konsentrasi hormon tiroid dan metabolit darah tidak berbeda nyata diantara semua perlakuan selama periode pemulihan dari umur 21 hingga 42 hari. Disimpulkan bahwa konsentrasi hormon tiroid triiodotironin dan tiroksin (T 3 dan T 4 ) dan plasma metabolit darah (albumin) menurun selama pengaturan waktu makan 4 dan 8 jam/hari dari umur 7 hingga 21 hari, akan tetapi, kondisi demikian kembali normal selama periode pemulihan.

Four hundred of 7 days-old unsexed broiler chicken of Lohmann commercial strain were arranged in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and analyzed based on ANOVA. The treatments were: chicks fed ad libitum as a control treatment (R-0); chicks had free access to feed during two periods of 2 h (08:00-10:00 and 16:00-18:00) from 7-14 d of age (R-1) and 7-21 d of age (R-2); chicks had free access to feed during two periods of 4 h (08:00-12:00 and 16:00-20:00) from 7-14 d of age (R-3) and 7-21 d of age (R-4). The treatments consisted of 4 replicates with 20 chicks each. During feeding time restriction from 7 to 21 d of age, thyroid hormone and albumin plasma concentration of R-2 and R-4 were lower (P<0.05) than R-0. There were no statistical differences among the treatments on thyroid hormone and blood metabolites during realimentation period from 21 to 42 d of age. It is concluded that thyroid hormone triiodothrionine and thyroxine (T 3 and T 4 ) and blood metabolite (albumin) decreased during feeding time restriction for 4 and 8 h per d from 7 to 21 d of age and it returns to normal during realimentation period.

This study was conducted in Suq Al-Shuyoukh district, south of Thi Qar province, for the period from 5/11/2021 to 8/5/2022 on a sheep sample consisting of 49 local Iraqi sheep (Arabi ) from one of the private sector herds.The study included slaughtering sheep in a butcher's shop, recording the traits of the carcass and the weight of the thigh inside the shop, and then taking a sample of the thigh meat to study some of its chemical traits .Chemical tests were conducted on the meat sample in the laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture and the Marshes of the University of Thi Qar, and the genetic material was extracted and genetic analysis was done in the laboratory of the Marsh Research Center at the University of Thi Qar. We reached the following results: The traits of hot carcass weight, carcass length, carcass diameter, and thigh weight showed a highly significant and positive correlation among them, while the rest of the traits differed in their correlations in terms of morality or in terms of being negative or positive. Through the results of the statistical analysis, it was found that the value of the regression coefficient for the characteristics of hot carcass weight, carcass length, thigh weight, dressing percentage, pH of meat, and muscle fiber diameter on the live weight of the animal was positive (except for the dressing percentage) and highly significant (P≤0.01).
