This experiment aimed at studying the qualities and carcass of Sheep meat Awassi after a being dose of apricot seed oil to the animals field in the Department of Animal Production at the college of Agriculture - University of Tikrit. This experiment used 16 local sheep , ranging in age from 4-5 months, transaction. animals weighed weekly to adjust the amount of feed provided depend on the new weigh Animals were dosed apricot seed oil daily orally in proportions (0.5 ML and 1.0 ML and1.5 ML ) Relative to the weight of the live animal For the second, third and fourth treatment , using the syringe , the proportion of apricot seed oil given per week changed according to the weekly weight gain , At the end of the experiment, 12 lambs were slaughtered The results of the analysis showed significant differences in the weights of the main cuts and as the weight of the thigh , where the third and fourth treatment recorded a significant rise. The third and fourth treatment recorded a moral rise. The results of the analysis showed significant differences in the weights of the secondary carcass parts in cuts the weight of the for shank , where the third treatment recorded a moral rise. The results of dosing animals with apricot seed oil showed moral differences in the Palmatic fatty acid ratio, where the fourth treatment recorded significant . For The recipe of Linolic fatty acid the fourth treatment recorded significant , The recipe for Lenolinic fatty acid recorded the fourth treatment significant , The characteristic of Stearic fatty acid illustrated the superiority of the fourth treatment by registering significant . The characteristic of Stearic fatty acid illustrated the superiority of the fourth treatment by registering significant.
This study was conducted in the animal field of the College of Agriculture University of Tikrit for a period of 70days precession this period 14 day as adaptation starting from 8/10/2020 to 16/12/2020. Sixteen Awassi lambs were used, aged 5-6 months, with an average weight of 26.2 ± 0.3 kg. The experimental treatments were, first, the control 98% barley (farmer diet), the second 88% barley + 5% soybean meal+ 5% vegetable fat and the third 83% barley + 10% Soybean meal+ 5% fat and the fourth 78% barley + 15% soybeans+ 5% fat with addition to 1% salts and 1% vitamins and minerals for all treatment. The lambs were fed concentrate feed at 3% of live weight on a dry matter basis with 100 grams/day/lamb straw. The results showed that second, third and fourth treatments significantly (P≤0.05) improved final weight, average daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared to the first treatment, the third and fourth treatments (P≤0.05) increased in the daily weight gain, final weight and feed conversion efficiency compared to the second treatment. Significant (P≤0.05) differences were also found in some biochemical characteristics of blood, as increased in percentage of Triglycerides, blood urea and albumin in fourth treatment of lambs compared to ether experimental treatment, while no significant differences were found between experiment groups in proportion of glucose, creatinine, total protein, and the enzyme AST and ALT. note that all blood measurements of the experiment lambs were within normal limits.
for a period of 70 days excluding 14 days as an adaptation period (from 8ᵗʰ October to 16ᵗʰ of December 2020). The aim of this study find alternative diets for fattening Awassi lambs in the northern region and improved protein of barley. Sixteen Awassi lamb were used, aged 5-6 months, with an average starting body weight of 26.2 ± 0.3 kg. Four formulation diets were randomly allocated to four groups of animals. Group one ( control) 98% barley, Group two (88% barley, 5% soybean meal, 5% vegetable fat), Group three (83% barley, 10% soybean meal, 5% vegetable fat), Group four ( 78% barley, 15% soybean meal, 5% vegetable fat). All the experiment diets were supplemented with 1% salts and 1% vitamins and minerals. The lambs were fed concentrate feed at 3% of live body weight on a dry matter basis with 100 grams of roughage (straw) day/lamb. The results showed that animals in group 2 (T 2 ), group3 (T 3 ) and group 4 (T4) significantly (P≤0.05) higher final body weight, average daily body weight gain and feed conversion ratio, then those from (T 1 ) . Moreover , animals from T 3 and T 4 had significant (P≤0.05) higher production performance compared to those in T 2 . The weights of hot , cold carcass, and the three main carcass cuts (leg, shoulder, and rack) were ignorantly (P≤0.05) heavier in T3 and T4 then other groups .The lambs in T3 andT4were also showed (P≤0.05) larger eye muscle area then T1 and T2. There were no significant differences in dressing-out %,or fat thickness between the treatment groups .
