“…The blood parameters were presented in Table . Our results were similar to those of previous studies (Abdel‐Ghani, Solouma, Abd Elmoty, Kassab, & Soliman, ; El‐Barody, Abdalla, & El‐Hakeam, ). Dietary treatment did not significantly affect the concentrations of TP, ALB, ALT, AST, LDH, BUN, GLU, TG, CHOL, HDL, LDLC, LACT and NH 3 in lamb serum.…”

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different dietary energy levels on growth performance, slaughter traits, meat quality and blood biochemical parameters in fattening male Hu lambs. Sixty lambs were fed five iso‐protein diets which contained different levels of metabolizable energy in a completely randomized design for 70 days. At the end of study, fifteen lambs were harvested for further study. With the increase in dietary energy level, the daily weight gain and dry matter intake extremely increased (p < .001), and feed conversion ratio decreased significantly (p < .01). The live weight before slaughter (LWBS) and carcass weight had a significant increase (p < .05), non‐carcass fat ratio and routine indexes of meat quality had no significant difference. Almost no effect was observed for the amino acid profile except for glycine concentration decreased (p < .05) in longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. The concentrations of C17:0, C18:3n‐3 and n‐3 PUFA (p < .01) significantly decreased with the increasing dietary energy levels, and the ratio of ∑n‐6/∑n‐3 (p < .01) increased, whereas the concentrations of C18:1n‐9t (p < .05) decreased in LD muscle and C18:1 (p < .01) increased in biceps femoris (BF) muscle. There were no obviously differences for diameter, area and density of muscle fibres. The relative expression of MyHC‐IIa and MyHC‐IIx decreased significantly (p < .05) in BF muscle, and the relative expression of MyHC‐IIa displayed an obviously decreasing trend (p < .10) in LD muscle. These results suggest that increasing the dietary energy level can improve the growth performance and slaughter traits, and influence meat quality and fatty acid profiles in different muscle tissues of fattening male Hu lambs. These results provide a theoretical basis for developing Hu sheep nutritional standards and designing feed formulations.

“…In many studies on blood BG levels in lambs depending on different feeding conditions and age, it has been reported that blood values ranged between 50 and 144 mg/dl (El-Barody et al 2002;Lestingi et al 2015;Malekkhahi et al 2015). In this study, no statistically significant differences were observed between the blood BG levels of lambs consuming SH and blood BG levels obtained after CV consumption.…”

“…In the present study, it was found that the use of CV and SH did not affect the blood TP levels of the lambs. Studies have reported that the blood TP levels in lambs varied depending on age (6.30-7.36 g 100 ml -1 ), in addition to feeding (El-Barody et al 2002;Bórnez et al2009). Lestingi et al (2015) have reported that the anti-nutritional factors in the rations increased the blood TP levels.…”

This study investigated the effect of different levels of common vetch (CV) grain feed on some blood and rumen parameters and rumen protozoa in lambs consuming sainfoin hay (SH). In the study two-month-old weaned, SH consumed, 36.25 ± 2.49 kg average body weight (BW), twenty-four female lambs were used. Ration groups were established as follows; In the first group (C, control), 2% SH and 0.00% CV of the lamb's live weight (LW) were adopted while in the second group, 1.25% SH and 0.75% CV ( CVI) and in the third group, 0.5% SH and 1.50% CV (CVII) were adopted. Blood and rumen fluid samples were taken twice, once at the beginning of the study and once on the 30th day of the study. Although there were statistical differences in some of the parameters investigated in the study, all blood and rumen parameters were within the normal limits specified for lambs in the literature. In this study, it was concluded that feeding the lambs that are consuming SH with CV 1.5% of their live weight did not have a negative effect and the total ration can be formed using both SH and CV.

“…Sobiech et al (2014) reported that, lambs fed legume silages were characterized by increased blood glucose levels, decreased total blood protein levels (P<0.05) and greater urea concentrations (P<0.01), compared with lambs receiving grass silage. El- Barody et al (2002) and Novoselec et al (2009) mentioned that, the Changes of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) concentration in blood of sheep depending on age and reproductive status, while Todini (2007) mentioned that changes of blood thyroid hormone concentrations are an indirect measure of the changes in thyroid gland activity and circulating thyroid hormones can be considered as indicators of the metabolic and nutritional status of the animals. It could be concluded that, feeding guar green forage or guar forage silage as a partial replacement of concentrate feed mixture and rice straw up to 40% for Farafra growing lambs rations, resulted in superior nutrition, better daily gain, feed conversion and economic efficiency.…”

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of partial replacing green guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) forage (GG) and rice straw or guar forage silage (GS) instead of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) on the digestibility, productive and economic performance and blood biochemical constituents of growing lambs. Twenty four weaned of Farafra male lambs 5 months age and weighed in average 16.69 ± 2.65 kg, were used in a feeding trial for 120 days in a complete block design. Animals were divided according to their live body weight into three experimental groups (8 lambs each), Ration 1 (R1) consists of 60% CFM + 40 % rice straw (control), R2: (40% CFM + 40% GGF + 20 % rice straw and R3: (40% CFM + 40% GFS + 20% rice straw). GGF and GFS were used to cover a partial of protein from CFM. The experimental rations fed according to NRC (1985). Results indicate that the apparent digestibility coefficients of all nutrients and feeding value of rations containing (GG) or (GFS) were better (P<0.05) compared to the control ration. Percentage of apparent N-utilization was currently higher (P<0.05) for the guar green forage and guar forage silage (R2 and R3) rations than the control ration (R1). Significant increased (P<0.05) were reported on total feed intakes, total weight gains, average daily gains (ADG) and better feed conversion ratios (FCR) and economic efficiencies for groups R2 and R3 compared with control group. The realized ADG were 198.08 and 185.83 g/day for R2 and R3, respectively, while lambs of the control recorded 177.11 g/day. No significant differences among experimental diets in serum total protein, albumin, globulin, trans-aminase enzymes (AST and ALT), cholesterol, triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxin (T4) hormones. It could be concluded that, feeding guar green forage or guar forage silage up to 40% as partial replacement of concentrate feed mixture for Farafra growing lambs rations were recommended. Such rations resulted in superior nutrition, better daily gain, feed conversion and economic efficiency.
