Leg cuts from Awaasi lambs fed a diet with varying levels of Rhus coriaria L., Physical dissection and chemical composition.

Abstract

This research was conducted in a private slaughterhouse in Samarra from 1/5/2019 to 1/8/2019. Sixteen Awassi lambs were raised with an average body weight (of 20±25) kg and an age of about (5.5 to 6) months. We divided the lambs into four treatments. The first treatment was without additives, called control; the second treatment was 1% Sumac, the third treatment was 3% Sumac, and the last one was the fourth treatment with 5% Sumac. The results showed significant differences between treatments in biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscle (treatment 3 the female) were (180.9±10.66)g, ( 168.4±5.72)g respectively. And a highly significant difference in adductor muscle (treatment 3, the female) was (75.6±2.58)g compared with the control (62.85±5.93)g. significant differences in treatment 3 in Semitendinosus muscle between males and females were( 57.2±3.65) and (74.4±3.02)g, respectively. The rectus femurs showed significant differences between treatments 3 and 4 in females were( 99.6±8.76) and (76.3±6.98)g, respectively. In physical dissection, a low significant difference in treatment 4 in lean was (56.3+3.66)%. The lean percentage in treatment 3 of the female was (59.2±0.99) %. About chemical analysis, the high percentage of moisture in the male in treatments 2,3 and 4 were (72.7±0.14),( 72.8±0.21),(and 72.8±0.21)%, respectively.

Constraints Affecting the Welfare of Domestic Sheep Grazing in the Natural Pasture

“…While the sheep go out to grazing regularly and to the required extent, it will provide them with quantities of energy that they use in the grazing process, as they are produced through a nerve signal from the brain that contributes to the secretion of opiates, which contribute to the improvement of 1252 (2023) 012144 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1252/1/012144 2 the mood and well-being of the organism and thus feel comfortable and safe [8]. The objective of this study investigating the best grazing period in sheep and know its effect on removing toxins accumulated inside the body and thus the effect of this process on the physiological, behavioral, and productive performance of sheep [9].…”

The Effect of Adding Lemongrass Leaf Powder (Cymbopogon Citratus) to the Diet as a Natural Supplement on Some Productive Traits and Oxidation Indicators in Broiler (Ross 308)

“…The addition of lemongrass to the feed resulted in antioxidant activity, as evidenced by a decrease in MDA levels, which is considered one of the important indicators of oxidative stress that indicates the occurrence of oxidative stress and cell damage. Reduce oxidative stress by avoiding free radicals [12]. Table (4) shows that the peroxide value (P.V) of the control treatment in the liver tissue of broiler chicken increased significantly (P<0.05) when compared to the other treatments, as the feed additives demonstrated high effectiveness as antioxidants in controlling fat oxidation in the liver of broiler chicken by reducing the development of peroxide value.…”

“…No doubt adding lemongrass to the feed has an antioxidant effect by lowering the level of MDA, which is considered one of the important indicators of oxidation from which we can infer the occurrence of oxidation and cell damage. Many of the herb's beneficial compounds also help to prevent or reduce oxidative stress, particularly peroxide lipids and free fatty acids, by preventing free radical attacks on biofilms [12].…”
