“…The increase of daily live weight gain was higher with than without supplement [9]. Similar effects were observed in other ruminant species, such as ewes, sheep and Buffalo [10,11,12]. According to Makkar et al [13], UMMB supplements may influence the Heifers body weight through an increased microbial protein, digestibility and feed intake for a better balance of amino acids and energy absorption during nutrients intake.…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects supplementation of urea-molasse multinutrient block (UMMB) on the weight gain of heifers peranakan ongole beef cattle based diets with rice straw. Urea molasse multinutrient block were made with different formulations (A and B). A total of 15 heifers Peranakan Ongole beef cattle were divided into 3 groups. Control group animals were daily fed rice straw as a basal diet without UMMB, group A were daily fed rice straw as a basal diet with UMMB (A), group B were daily fed rice straw as a basal diet with UMMB (B) respectively. Weight gain were measured with Lambourne method weekly. Data on the feeding trial were collected during 4 wk, and were subjected to the Paired T-test analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of this experiment showed that the UMMB supplementation had no significantly influenced of weight gain average (P > 0.05). With regard to the weight gain average of heifers, the group A showed a highest (9.52 kg), group B (9.38 kg) and control group (6.98 kg), respectively. Based on statistical analyses, it can be concluded that supplementation of UMMB had no effects on average weight gain in this study. <o:p></o:p>

“…Parity order effect significantly body weight at service, lambing and post lambing. Ewes with parity three where heavier during all period of gestation than ewes with parity one and two, this may be that older ewes had complete their body so they less weight loses, the current findings are similar to [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] they stated that there were positive change in body weight for ewes that lambing more than one times, also there were less weight lost after lambing and weaning. [29] reported that primiparous ewes had a lower body weight during gestation compared with multiparous which affects ewe's fertility.…”

This study was conducted at North Kordofan State, Sudan the study aimed to investigate the effects of parity order and supplementary feeding at mating, late pregnancy and pre-lambing period on ewe productive and reproductive performance for Desert sheep during the dry season. Eighty (80) ewes were selected from the flock of Desert sheep for this study. Ewes were weighed and randomly divided into four groups A, B, C and D, each group with 20 ewes, ewes were assigned to supplementary feeding treatments as group A was supplemented with diet one, group B was supplement with diet two, group C was supplement with diet three and the last group D as a control. Supplementary groups A, B and C were offered with supplementary feeding for Four weeks during pre mating (flushing), Four weeks post mating, and two months pre lambing and three months post lambing. Supplementation was offered at evening with 350 grams/ewe/day. Body weight of ewes at pre-and post-mating, pre-and post-lambing till weaning

“…It can be found throughout the Punjab province, but most of its population is in central Punjab. It contributes up to 40% of the total mutton production of the province [ 2 , 17 ]. It shows wide diversity in different production traits, so there are more chances for improvement in the performance of this breed [ 18 ].…”

Estimating genetic parameters for growth traits is crucial to plan breeding strategies for improving meat production in indigenous sheep breeds. The study first tested the effects of environmental and maternal effects on five growth traits, including birth weight (BWT), weight at 120 days (WT120), weight at 180 days (WT180), weight at 270 days (WT270) and weight at 365 days of age (WT365) and then estimated genetic parameters for these traits using data obtained in 1215 Lohi sheep. The effects of factors, including year (YOB), season (SOB) and type of birth (TOB), age of dam (AOD) and sex on growth traits of Lohi sheep, were examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R software. Sex, TOB and YOB significantly affected all studied traits. The estimates of direct and maternal heritability for BWT and WT120 were 0.15 ± 0.08 and 0.20 ± 0.06, and 0.45 ± 0.16, 0.21 ± 0.08, respectively. The direct heritability estimates for WT180, WT270 and WT365 were 0.20 ± 0.07, 0.21 ± 0.07 and 0.19 ± 0.08, respectively. Due to the high heritability estimate obtained for WT120 compared to other studied traits, and its strong genetic correlation (>0.9) with post-weaning growth traits, it is recommended that selection must be practiced on WT120 to improve the growth performance of Lohi sheep. The results could be used for the development of genetic/genomic selection programs aiming to improve the production performance of the Lohi sheep.
