“…However, CSL was used as unconventional animal feed source of energy and / or protein for feeding finishing steers (Trenkle, 2002), lambs (Mirza and Mushtaq, 2006;Freitas et al, 2015;Azizi-Shotorkhoft et al, 2016), Labeo rohita fingerlings and carp (Chovatiya et al, 2010), chicken (Rafhan Product Reference Guide, 2010; Ullah et al, 2017), lactating cows (Santos et al, 2012), crossbred calves (Siverson, 2013), Rahmani lambs (El-Emam et al, 2014), ewes (Hafez et al, 2015;Khalifa et al, 2015b) Zaraibi nanny goats (Khalifa et al, 2015a andSaba et al, 2015).…”

A b s t r a c t A r t i c l e I n f oAn experiment was conducted on newly weaned rabbits for eight weeks by fattening them on diets supplemented with corn steep liquor (CSL) replaced 0, 10, 20, and 30% of crude protein and energy of barley and soybean meal of the diets. The obtained results refer to increased feed intake (thus, worst the feed conversion and economic efficiency); serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and low density lipoproteins (referring to somewhat negative effect on liver function, where the serum alanine aminotransferase activity was decreased too); as well as hemoglobin concentration and red blood cells count (as good indicators). Otherwise, there were no significant effects on growth performance, water intake, edible parts, digestibility, and muscular composition. So, it could be concluded that dietary inclusion of CSL (up to 30%) for rabbits is possible without adverse effects on performance and health state.

“…Khalifa et al (2016) recorded positive correlation coefficients between feeding and does body weight, kids' body weight, udder size, suckling milk flow and energy of suckling milk. They also observed that the noticed improvement in milk yield of does fed SP ration was associated with increasing growth rate of dams and their kids (Vishnu & Sumathi, 2014, Akporhuarho, 2015Hafez et al, 2015). The beneficial effects of additive SP related to the highest protein (El-Sabagh, Abd Eldaim, Mahboub, & Abdel-Daim, 2014), vitamin as β-carotene (Meza-Herrera et al, 2014), minerals mixture (Ahmad Fazel et al, 2014) and energy (Kumar, De, Saxena, & Naqvi, 2015).…”

This experiment conducted using 20 Rahmani ewes at the last third of pregnancy in two equal groups. One group served as control, while the other group received Spirulina platensis (SP) at the rate of 0.5 gm 10 kg-1 live body weight. The objective was to find out the effect of adding Spirulina platensis algae to small ruminant rations on reproductive and productive traits and blood components of sheep. The experiments lasted for 120 days for both dams and their lambs after weaning. The findings proved that adding SP in ewes' diets had no effect on the average of live body weight change. Average milk yield was significantly (p <0.01) higher in the treatment group than the control. Lamb's birth weight and daily body gain of the treated group were significantly (p <0.01) higher than the control. Blood and serum picture profile of ewes were significantly higher when fed SP additive than the control. It could be concluded that the addition of SP to the ration of sheep positively preserved their health, productive and reproductive status as well as their lambs' growth rate. Also the additive improved the economic efficiency of treated animals by about 53.13%.

“…In any event, Akporhuarho (2015) concluded that the size of udder during lactation achieved significant determinant of average partial daily milk yield and the regression analysis revealed that udder circumference (UC) was the most important single measurement accounted for over 22 % of variation of partial daily milk yield in West African Dwarf goat. On the other hand, Hafez et al (2015) indicated that positive relationship between either feed type or udder formation or suckling milk amount or growth rate of Rahmani lambs.…”

“…These results agree with what stated by El-Gendy et al (2014) who reported in Zaraibi and Damascus dairy goats, significant correlations between udder traits and milk yield and kid growth rate. It was observed that the noticed improvement in milk yield of does fed SPP ration was associated with increasing udder measurements and growth rate of dams and their kids (Vishnu and Sumathi, 2014, Akporhuarho, 2015and Hafez et al, 2015.…”

he current work studied the addition of Spirulina platensis powder (SPP) to dairy nanny goat rations on the reproductive and productive performance. Fourteen dairy Zaraibi goats with an average body weight of 36.00 kg at 33.43 months of age were used in this study. The Zaraibi nanny goats were distributed randomly in two groups (n=7 in each). The first group control (G1) was fed concentrate feed mixture (CFM) plus roughage as Egyptian berseem hay (BH) and rice straws (RS) plus orally empty rice paper sack / head /day. While, the second group (G2) was serviced as trial group and nourished previous control ration plus 500 mg of SPP stuffed into rice paper sack given orally/ head / day. Experimental diet was offered to either G1 or G2 twenty-one days pre-breeding season till postnatal to study reproductive performance. After postnatal, similarly eight does in parity rate (n=4 in each) were selected from later G1 and G2 and continued to fed last rations to study changing in udder measurements, suckling milk amount, variable in body weight of does and their kids, milk yield and blood metabolites.The results indicated that litter size and the quaternary rate were lower values in G1 than G2. Moreover, reproductive parameters in G2 have booster (P<0.05) udder formation than G1 during suckling months. The highest (P<0.05) values of suckling milk observed in G2 at all suckling months compared to G1. The highest (P<0.05) suckling milk energy obtained with G2 compared to G1 that may be attributed to difference (P<0.05) percentage values of fat and protein. The growth rate and daily weight gain of does in G2 and their kids achieved greater weight than does in G1 during suckling months. Based on early seven weeks (peak lactation curve) of milk yield, does in G2 showed significantly (P<0.05) higher milk yield through first three weeks, but the lactation curve during another four weeks declines almost similar trend (P>0.05) in milk yield compared to G1. Also, blood biochemical parameters e.g. total protein and glucose in G2 had significantly (P<0.05) higher than G1. However, G1 had greater (P<0.05) in cholesterol, triglycerides, AST and ALT concentration than those does in G2. Intriguingly, there was no significant difference in the concentrations of urea among goats in G1 and G2. Also, the present results revealed that lower feed cost of milk production was 1.45 L.E in G2 compared to G1 group (1.84 L.E). The present study clearly demonstrates that the SPP could be incorporated in diets as an increment of milking production and non-specific resistance of organism.
