“…In contrast, the depression in feed conversion with calves fed restricted ration (T4) could be attributed to the higher CF content and lower digestibility of OM than those fed the other restricted rations and control one. These findings are in agreement with those obtained by Sayed (2009), Gaafar et al (2009), Neto et al (2011, Adeleye et al (2011), Abbasi et al (2012) and Malisetty et al (2014), who concluded that feed conversion improved with increasing energy level in the diets. Results here are in contrary with those obtained by Sami et al (2016) who found that Najdi lambs fed restricted ration (20% of control ration) significantly (P<0.05) higher than those fed restricted ration (40% of control group), but no significant different with lambs fed ad libtium (control ration).…”

“…Moreover, Similar trend was observed with increasing the level of energy in the diets with heifer diets (Gaafar et al, 2009 andNeto et al, 2011), with growing lambs (Sowande et al, 2012, Malisetty et al, 2014, Abouheif et al, 2013and Ali et al, 2014. In contrary, some workers indicated that feed intake was inversely related to level of energy in the diet (Hossain et al, 2003, Yagoub and Babiker, 2008and Abbasi et al, 2012. Also, Sayed et al (2009) indicated that feed intake was lower with lambs fed medium or higher energy rations than those fed on low energy ration.…”

“…In contrast, Sayed (2009) indicated that lambs fed high-energy diet was recorded the highest values in net revenue and economic feed efficiency than those of medium and lowenergy diets in lambs. Also, Abbasi et al (2012) tested different levels of energy diets with goat kids and they found that medium and high energy diets would be beneficial and economically feasible than low energy diet. In perspective, some earlier study suggested that lambs subject to considerable period of feed quality restriction could be achieve the same weight as control with significantly lower total feed consequently increasing the profitability of production (Kamalzadek et al, 1997).…”

his study was conducted to investigated the effects of feed restriction at early age and re-alimentation (compensatory growth phenomenon) on growth and fattening buffalo calves performance. Twenty four buffalo calves with an average 123±1.05 Kg live body weight (LBW) and aged six months old were used in a feeding trial lasted for (150days) as restricted feeding period followed by (90-days) as re-alimentation period using randomized complete block design. Animals were divided into four similar groups (six calves per group) according to their LBW. During the feed restriction period, all animals' groups were fed the roughage portion (50% corn silage, 40% ammoniatedtreated rice straw and 10% berseem hay) at the ad libitum level with supplementation of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) at the levels of 1.5% (T1) as control, 1% (T2), 0.5 (T3) and 0.00% (T4) as tested rations, based on their (LBW). Following, the restriction period, all calves were fed on 2.5% CFM of their LBW plus 1% ammoniated treated rice straw (TRS) over realimentation period. In the restricted feed period, results indicated that most of nutrient digestibilities were significantly (P<0.05) lower with the restricted rations (T2, T3 and T4) than those of control group (T1). Vice versa trend was associated with CF digestibility among the dietary treatments. The feeding values as TDN, DCP and DE were followed comparable trends to those of nutrient digestibilities among treatments. Also, the DMI of calves fed restricted (T3 and T4) rations were significantly (P<0.05) lower than those calves fed restricted rations (T2) and unrestricted ration (T1). Daily gain was decreased significantly (P< 0.05) with calves restricted feed rations (T3 and T4) than those of the restricted ration (T2) and control groups (T1), but no significantly difference was found between T1 and T2 in this item. Likewise, feed conversion (as Kg DM or TDN /kg gain) was decreased significantly (P<0.05) with all calves fed restricted (T2, T3 and T4) rations compared with nonrestricted (T1). Blood serum total protein and albumin concentrations were significant lower (P<0.05) for all restricted rations than that of control one. During re-alimentation period, results indicated that calves fed restricted rations (T2, T3 and T4) consumed significant lower DMI and achieved significant higher daily gain in comparison with those of unrestricted group (T1). Also, feed conversion ratio was significantly better with restricted groups vs. the unrestricted one (control). Over the whole experimental period (240 -days), DM intake of calves fed restricted rations (T2, T3 and T4) were significantly (P<0.05) lower than that of non-restricted (T1). Average daily gain of calves fed unrestricted rations (T1) and restricted ration (T2) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of restricted rations (T3 and T4). Calves fed restricted ration (T2) was significantly (P<0.05) better in feed conversion than those of the restricted rations (T3 and T4) and control one (T1).

“…Sayed found that decreasing the dietary digestible energy from 14.7 to 12.2 MJ/kg resulted in a reduced average daily gain and an increased daily feed intake in lambs fed a diet containing 14.7% protein [24]. Abbasi et al also found that lowered dietary energy level (9.1 vs. 10.7 MJ ME/kg) reduced the average daily gain and increased the feed conversion ratio in Kamori Goat Kids [25]. Our previous study [1] focused on 20-60-day-old Hu sheep lambs also found that low energy or protein diet restrained growth performance.…”

Supplying sufficient nutrients, such as dietary energy and protein, has a great effect on the growth and rumen development of ruminants. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary energy and protein levels on growth performance, microbial diversity, and structural and physiological properties of the rumen in weaned lambs. A total of 64 two-month-old Hu lambs were randomly allotted to 2 × 2 factorial arrangements with four replicates and with four lambs (half male and half female) in each replicate. The first factor was two levels of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) density (ME = 10.9 MJ/Kg or 8.6 MJ/Kg), and the second factor was two levels of dietary crude protein (CP) content (CP = 15.7% or 11.8%). The trial lasted for 60 days. A low dietary energy level restrained the growth performance of lambs (p < 0.05). The ruminal concentration of acetate and the ratio of acetate to propionate increased but the propionate concentration decreased significantly with the low energy diet. However, the rumen morphology was not affected by the diet energy and protein levels. Moreover, a low energy diet increased ruminal bacterial diversity but reduced the abundance of the phylum Proteobacteria (p < 0.05) and genus Succinivibrionaceae_uncultured (p < 0.05), which was associated with the change in ruminal fermentation phenotypes. By indicator species analysis, we found three indicator OTUs in the high energy group (Succinivibrionaceae_uncultured, Veillonellaceae_unclassified and Veillonellaceae_uncultured (p < 0.01)) and two indicator OTUs in the low energy group (Bacteroidales_norank and Lachnospiraceae_uncultured (p < 0.01)). In conclusion, these findings added new dimensions to our understanding of the diet effect on rumen microbial community and fermentation response, and are of great significance for establishing the optimal nutrient supply strategy for lambs.

Corn plantation area in Indonesia reached 3.9 million hectares and produce corn plants waste approximatelly 87.5 million tons/year. This waste must be managed properly so as not to cause environmental problems. This study aimed to assess the utilization of corn straw as a complete feed for pregnant goats. Sixteen pregnant goats resulted from artificial insemination were used for this experiment. Design of the study was 2× 2 factorial pattern with 4 replications. Four combinations of treatment are: T1S0 = ration of 28% corn straw (CP 14%, TDN 65%), T1S1 = T1 + mineral Zinc and Folic Acid, T2S0 = ration with 22% corn straw (CP 16%, TDN 67%), T2S1 = T2 + mineral Zinc and Folic Acid. Complete feed rations in the form of dry mash, given for 18 weeks. The results showed that there was no interaction between the treatment i.e., ration quality with mineral supplementation of zinc and folic acid. The analysis with Duncans Multiple Range Test showed that the diet containing of 28% corn straw (CP 14%, TDN 65%) resulted in dry matter intake and daily body weight of pregnant goats which were higher than the diet containing of 22% corn straw (CP 16%, TDN 67%). While the mineral supplementation of zinc and folic acid did not affect both parameters. The T1S1 ration is the best among treatment applied according to dry matter intake and body weight gain which were reaching 823.63 g/d and 85.39 g/d. The conclusion of this study was the use of 28% corn straw in rations eligible for pregnant goats.
