“…It is clear from (Table 3) that there are no significant differences in the characteristics of the carcass (weight hot carcass, weight fat-tail, kidneys weight, the fat of the pelvis, the fat of the heart, intestines fat, weight of the full and empty digestive tract, and the dressing percentage of live weight and empty weight). These results are consistent with the findings of [18], [10], [11] and [19] while [8] noted that there were significant differences in the weight hot carcass resulting from effect of feeding frequency.…”

“…Moreover, feeding frequently can enhance the appetite of lambs, which leads to improved growth and weight gain. These results agreed with the findings of [8], [9] who noted that repeated feeding leads to a significant increase in lamb weights and are inconsistent with the results of [10,11] who did not find a significant effect of feeding frequency on lamb weights. The results of the study indicated that there was no significant effect of adding Moringa seeds on the weight of lambs and weight gain, although there were slight arithmetic differences, but they were not significant.…”

The study included 24 Awassi lambs aged of (3-4) months, distributed randomly into four treatments homogeneous by weight, each treatment includes 6 lambs. The first treatment was fed twice a day without supplementation, second treatment was fed twice a day with addition 5 g of Moringa seeds/head/day, third treatment they were fed three times a day without supplementation, and the fourth treatment was fed three times a day with addition 5 gm of Moringa seeds/head/day. The results of the study showed a significant (p≤0.05) superiority in body weight at the second week in favor of the lambs that were fed twice daily, while the lambs that were fed three times had a significant (p≤0.05) superiority in final weight and total weight gain, and the fourth treatment was significantly superior (p≤0.05) in final weight and total weight gain compared to the second and third treatments. Lambs fed twice daily outperformed highly significant (p≤0.01) in the carcass width at the shoulders. Also, the lambs that were fed twice daily without addition were significantly (p≤0.01) superior in this trait to their counterparts that were fed three times. There was a significant (p≤0.05) superiority in the weight of fat-tail for the treatment with Moringa added compared to the treatment without it. Significant differences (p≤0.05) were observed in the dressing percentage in favor of lambs in the third and fourth treatments. The treatment to which Moringa was added was significantly (p≤0.01) superior in albumin concentration in the blood over the treatment without addition, and the albumin concentration was significantly (p≤0.05) higher in the second treatment compared to the rest of the other treatments. A highly significant (p≤0.01) was observed in the concentration of triglycerides in the blood of lambs fed three times daily.
