“…The content of unsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids was higher, and the proportion of saturated fatty acids was lower. Adding bentonite and clinoptilolite improves performance, rumen digestion, feed conversion ratio, fattening, and meat quality of lambs (Azadbakht et al, 2017;Tánori-Lozano et al, 2022).…”

The article provides data on modern lamb production systems and factors affecting their quality. In order to obtain high-quality lamb, a mineral-phytobiotic additive was developed, which includes sulfate and sodium metasilicate as sources of sulfur and silicon, and a phytobiotic additive containing chili pepper, which has a fungicidal effect and exhibits antibacterial properties, intensifying the digestion process, cinnamon essential oil, which contributes to the normalization of the composition of the intestinal microflora and its stabilization. Carvacrol, contained in oregano oil, exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties; thanks to this, it can be a good antiseptic, killing parasites that cause intestinal dysfunction. The best result was the addition of such a mixture in the amount of 1.8 % to the compound feed for young sheep in rearing from 10 days to 255 days of age. In order to study the influence of the mineral-phytobiotic supplement on growth intensity and meat quality, sheep were weighed at one day, 60, 100, 135, 180, and 255 days of age. In order to control the slaughter indicators of meat productivity, they were slaughtered at the age of 255 days (8.5 months, lamb category), since the meat of these animals is consumable. The taste properties of the meat were also assessed by tasting. As a result of the controlled slaughter, it was established that the addition of 1.8 % of the mineral-phytobiotic additive increased the live weight by 18.68 %, the slaughter weight by 22.87 %, the weight of the steamed carcass by 21.5 %, the chilled by 22.29 % of the slaughter yield by 3.52 %. Along with the increase in overall productivity, the chemical composition of lamb meat changed. In particular, protein level increased by 4.22 %, dry matter by 6.09 %, and ash by 11.25 %. The calorie content of meat increased by 2.47 %, and the protein/fat ratio approached 1 : 0.75 and was 1 : 0.79. The definition of taste qualities indicates that the meat of young animals is lighter and more delicate to taste. The nutritional value and dietary properties of meat were determined by color, tenderness, aroma, taste, juiciness, and appearance. The taste qualities of sheep were assessed by tasting. According to the organoleptic assessment, the meat from sheep of both groups had a pleasant smell, tender and juicy. According to the general assessment, the meat of the experimental group is excellent, and that of the control group is very good.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium bentonite supplementation on fattening performance and some blood parameters in Tuj lambs. In the study, 18 male lambs were divided into 3 groups. While the control group was fed with basal ration, the experimental groups were fed with sodium bentonite supplementation 1% and 2% dose in addition to the basal ration. On the 0 th , 15 th , and 30 th days of the study, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of mean live weights, live weight gain, daily live weight gain, daily feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (P>0.05). On the 45 th day of the study, the difference between the groups in terms of live weight gain, daily live weight gain and feed conversion ratio were statistically found significant (P<0.05). The difference between glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), ceruloplasmin, albumin, total protein and globulin values of Tuj breed lambs were not statistically significant (P>0.05).The use of sodium bentonite in Tuj breed lambs was statistically found significant in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase enzyme activities (CAT) (P <0.05). In conclusion, the use of sodium bentonite in Tuj lambs positively affected fattening performance. When the blood antioxidant parameters were examined, increase in SOD and CAT values was protective against oxidative damage in lambs used sodium bentonite. However, the increase in MDA value has doubted the safety sodium bentonite use in lambs.

This study was conducted in one of the private fields in Maysan province to study the effect of adding a different level of bentonite to the lamb diets on the performance of lambs. The study included (18) male Arabi lambs weighted 24.5±1.22 kg and lasted 120 days. Lambs were taken after weaning at the age of 3 to 4 months. They were randomly divided into six groups. The diet was provided on the basis of 3% of live body weight. The diets of the trial included (A) a basic diet of 50% concentrated fodder + 50 alfalfa without any addition. (B) A plus 2% bentonite/ dry matter. (C) A plus 4% bentonite/ dry matter. Treatment (D) a diet of 100% concentrated feed + hay ad libitum (basic diet 2) and without any addition. (E) D plus 2% bentonite. (F) D plus 4% bentonite. The diet significantly affected the average final weight and total weight gain in favor of lambs fed treatment D (100% concentrated feed) with average final weight and total weight gain 46.57 and 22.11 kg, respectively. The addition of bentonite improved the rates of the rate of total weight gain is 17.71, 20.85 and 19.50 kg without adding and adding bentonite (2%) and bentonite (4%), respectively. The diet significantly affected the digestion rate of DM, OM, CP, EE, and NDF. Their digestion coefficients of 100% concentrate group were (75.98, 80.70, 80.09, 65.31 and 31.67%, respectively). 50% concentrated fodder (70.26, 71.53, 76.22, 45.47 and 27.36%, respectively).
