“…During the fattening period the growth rate of some lambs was observed to decrease after 45 day of feeding. This could possibly be related to repeated cases of blindness arising from grazing less palatable plants like (ushar) Calotropis procera which has a toxic latex affecting mainly vision, in addition to occurrence of some digestive disturbances and pneumonia due to sudden drop in ambient temperature (Medros et al, 1989).…”

improve economics of productivity of sheep (Macedo, et al. 2000).Sheep of Sudan are bred mainly for meat production, providing all lamb and mutton for local consumption and export (M A R F, 2016). Sudan desert sheep and their crosses make up about 86 % of the sheep found in the country. In Kordofan States (North, South, and West) of Sudan the major types of desert sheep are namely Hamari and Kabashi (Alraed,

“…Moreover, Bravo et al (1996) did not mention the size of the ground sugar stalks they used to feed pigs. According to Mederos et al (2004) a change in particle size of chopped sugar cane stalks is associated with variation of feed efficiency. From that, it can be assumed that difference in growth performance between both sets of results could be also attributed to a difference in the particles size of the ground sugar cane stalks.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a milling by-product diet and two sugar cane diets on the local Creole pig breed (CR). A total of 48 CR pigs (24 females and 24 castrated males) were randomly assigned to four different groups of 12 animals. Pigs were allotted to one of 4 dietary treatments: fed with a control soya-bean meal-corn diet containing 19.1% crude protein (CP) and 15.4 MJ DE/kg (diet 1), with an experimental milling by-product diet (soya-bean meal and wheat by-products) containing 19.4% CP and 13.0 MJ DE/kg (diet 2), with ground cane stalks (GCS) or with fresh sugar cane juice (SCJ). Both GCS and SCJ were supplemented with soya-bean meal complement (400 g/d of a 48.7% CP and 16.1 MJ DE/kg diet) in order to obtain diets 3 and 4, respectively. Pigs were fed close to ad libitum level and had free access to water. All the pigs were slaughtered at 65 kg BW. Between 30 and 65 kg BW, growth performance was significantly (p<0.001) affected by dietary treatments: average daily BW gain was 657, 530, 546 and 200 g/d for diets 1, 2, 4, and 3, respectively. Average daily DM intake was 1.8, 1.9, 2.5 and 1.4 kg/d for diets 1, 2, 4, and 3, respectively. Fat cuts (backfat+leaf fat) and backfat thickness were significantly lower on diet 3 than for other treatments (127 vs. 192, 166 g/kg of left half-carcass weight and 24.6 vs. 39.0, 35.3 mm for diet 3 vs. diets 1 and 4, and diet 2, respectively; p<0.001). The dressing weight was significantly lower on diets 2 (82.7 vs. 84.0%; p<0.001). The entire empty digestive tract (DT) weight was higher on diet 2 (73.1 vs. 66.7 g/kg empty BW). However, stomach and large intestine were more developed on diet 3: 12.8 vs. 9.3 g/100 g empty DT (p<0.001) and 26.4 vs. 23.8 g/100 g empty DT (p<0.05), respectively. In conclusion, this study suggests the CR pig has the ability to reach rather good growth and carcass performance with a well-formulated sugar cane meal and/or with a milling by-product diet refined according to its low requirements.
