SUMMARY his study was conducted to evaluate the effect of daily oral administration of Friesian dairy heifers with propylene glycol (PG); calcium propionate (CP) or their combination (PG+CP) from about 15 months of age till the occurrence of conception on blood biochemistry and body weight. Heifers in the 1 st group were fed on the control ration (T1), while those in G2, G3 and G4 were fed the control ration with 300 PG, 335 CP, and a combination of 150 PG+165 CP ml/head/twice a week, respectively from the initial of experimental work to conception. Results show that, the total proteins, albumin, globulin and glucose were significantly increased (P<0.05) in T4. At puberty and conception periods T4 showed significant (P<0.05) increase in TP, AL, GL, and Glu as compared to T1. Blood total lipids and triglycerides showed significant decrease (P<0.05) in T4 at puberty and conception periods. The total cholesterol concentration was significantly decreased (P<0.05) in T2-T4 as compared to T1. Urea nitrogen concentration in T4 was the lowest value followed by T3 and T2 as compared with T1 at puberty and conception periods. Heifers in T4 and T3 showed decrease (P<0.05) in creatinine concentration at puberty and conception than those in T1 and T2. Liver enzymes (AST and ALT) were lower (P<0.05) in T4 at puberty and conception than the control group. Blood AST and ALT were moderated in T2 and T3 at puberty and conception periods. At puberty, heifers in T4 showed the heavy LBW (P<0.05) followed by T3 then T2 and T1. At conception the higher LBW (P<0.05) was recorded in T2-T4 as compared with T1. Heifers in T4 had the early time (P<0.05) to shown puberty followed by T3 and T2 compared to T1. Also, heifers in T4 were concept at early time (P<0.05) than T1. In conclusion, feeding Friesian female calves on diet supplemented with 150ml propylene glycol plus 165 ml calcium propionate /head/twice a week can improve blood biochemical at puberty and conception periods with increase heifers live body weight and it achieved early time to puberty and conception.

SUMMARY Total of thirty six lactating Balady cows were selected at 2 month after parturition with average body weight 461.17kg to study the effect of replacing clover hay (CH) by eggplant or pepper vines in cows diets on nutrient digestibilities, feeding value, milk production and some blood constituents. Six similar groups of animals (6 cows/group) were randomly allocated on the dietary treatments of the experiment. Group T1 (control) were given the concentrate feed mixture (CFM) and CH (50:50). While T2 and T3 groups were fed diets included pepper vines (PV) at rate with 12.5 and 25% respectively and at the same previous rate of eggplant vines (EV) was offered to cow groups (T4 and T5), while T6 group was fed on combination of (PV+EV) at 12.5% for each one in replacing to (CH) in control ration, for 3 months as an experimental period. Results revealed that the digestion coefficients of all nutrients and feeding values were significantly (P<0.05) higher for T4 followed by T3 ration and then T2 one in comparison with the control group and the other tested rations. The results also indicated that the actual milk yield and 4% FCM were significantly higher in the treatments containing pepper vines at both levels (T2 and T3) as well as the treatment containing the lowest level of eggplant vines (T4) compared to those of control (T1) and the other tested rations (T5 and T6). The same trend was observed with the percentages of fat and protein in milk, where the treatments T2, T3 and T4 were distinguished in their content from the rest of the treatments, although there were no significant differences between all treatments. Also, in most cases, the rest of the milk components ratios (total solids, solids non-fat and lactose) are distinct in the aforementioned treatments compared to the rest of the other experimental treatments. Insignificant differences in feed intake and feed conversion were observed among the dietary treatments, except the value of the T6 respecting feed conversion that proved the poorest one significantly as DM: 4%-FCM. The results also recorded that the economic efficiency was marked improved in treatments T3 and T4 compared to the other groups. The highest concentrations of total protein and albumin in the blood were in the animals fed a low-level diet of eggplant vines (T4) compared to all treatments of the feeding experiment, and there were almost no significant differences between the treatments with regard to these measures. Therefore, the replacement of clover hay with pepper and eggplant vines up to 12.5% in dairy cow rations is highly recommended in the practical feeding of cows.

SUMMARY inety-six Barki ewes in second parities, aging about two years were chosen before the mating season and randomly assigned to six groups in a 2 x 3 factorial design to examine effects of ewes body weight (30kg as light ewes; L and 40kg as heavy ewes; H) and concentrate feeding frequency (once, 1X; twice, 2X and thrice, 3X) on the productive and reproductive performance of ewes and their offspring. The experimental period represents the reproductive and productive cycle of the ewe i.e., mating, gestation and lactation periods. Animals in the experimental groups were housed and fed separately in 6 pens and each treatment was fed in group. Results illustrated that the heaviest ewes digested all nutrients better than the lighter ewes leading to significantly higher feeding values. The increased frequent feeding lead to better digestibility of CF and NFE; no differences were reported for other nutrients. Heavy weight ewes digested all nutrients better with one time feeding than the two or three times. Nutritive value was higher with heavy ewe than lighter ones. Nutritive value as TDN and DCP were not improved by concentrate feeding frequency. Values of rumen liquor pH were decreased with more frequent feeding. Feeding the experimental ration more frequently lead to an increase in VFA production than feeding once. The heavy weight ewes had more VFA than the lighter ones with all frequent feeding. Heavy ewes produced significantly more milk yield than the light once. Fat corrected milk followed the same trend. No differences were reported for milk composition%. Feeding more frequently increased milk yield and fat corrected milk; milk energy / NEL intake and milk protein/ CP intake followed the adverse trend. The light ewes reported better feed conversion than the heavy weight ewes. Feeding frequency did not affect production efficiency as well as feed conversion. During the dry period the heavy weight ewes had less dry matter intake (DMI), digestible crude protein intake (DCPI), metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy for maintenance (NE m ). While, during the early gestation period no differences were found regarding the above mentioned criteria. With increasing feeding frequency in dry period, the average body weight was significantly increased; DCPI, ME and NE m followed the same trend. Also during early gestation period the above mentioned criteria followed the similar trend. DCPI was more during the early gestation than dry-period. During the suckling period, DCPI followed the opposite trend being better with heavy ewes than light ones with all feeding frequency.

SUMMARY he current study aims to determine the effect of partial substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with Vespa Oriental meal (VOM) [(0%, VOM 0 ), 25% (VOM 25 ), and 50% (VOM 50 )] in the diets of thirty 12-week-old V-line male rabbits with an average body weight of 1.060 ± 0.01kg on growth performance, digestion, and some blood biochemical changes. The experiment lasted for 90 days. The results revealed that the crude protein (CP) contents of VOM and SBM used in the present study were 76.84 and 43.76 %, respectively, Furthermore, the digestibility of CP (74.65 % & 76.07 %,) and nitrogen free extract (NFE) (68.390 & 70.123 %,) was considerably higher in rabbits fed VOM 25 and VOM 50 , respectively than in rabbits fed VOM 0 (72.033 % & 65.44 %). The daily body gain in rabbits fed the VOM 50 diet was 9.18 %, higher than in rabbits on the VOM 0 diet. Also, the VOM 25 and VOM 50 diet-fed rabbits had considerably larger carcass weight, liver, kidney, and cecum length than the control group. Total volatile fatty acids were significantly higher in the caecal contents of VOM 25 and VOM 50 rabbits, despite lower caecal Ammonia-N concentration compared to the control diet. Hematological parameters, live and renal functions of rabbits fed the VOM 50 diet were considerably improved compared to those fed the control diet. The VOM 25 and VOM 50 groups exhibited better TDN and DCP values (P < 0.05) than the control group in terms of nutritional value. It is concluded that Vespa Orientalis wasp meal can be used as an effective alternative high-quality protein source to soybean meal, up to 50%, with no adverse impacts on rabbit's performance. five carried

SUMMARY wenty-four Barki male lambs (average LBW 25±2.1 kg) were randomly allocated into four similar groups (six lambs of each) to study the effect of partial replacement of yellow corn grains and wheat bran by mixture of date pits and soybean meal (DPSBM; DP 88.64%: SBM 11.6%) and decrease the feed cost. The Lambs were fed four iso-caloric iso-nitrogenous rations; G1 (control), G2. G3 and G4 were included 10, 20 and 30% of DPSBM respectively) for 90 days to investigate the effect of this replacements on growth performance, digestibility, rumen, and blood measurements, and on economic efficiency. The results showed that partial substitution of yellow corn grains and wheat bran by DPSBM (G2, G3 and G4) insignificantly (P > 0.05) affected nutrients digestibility of CF, EE, NDF, ADF, NFE and nutritive value as a TDN compared to control (G1). However, digestibility of DM, OM, CP, and nutritive value as DCP were highest in G1 than other groups and the difference between the other groups (G2, 3 and 4) were not significant (P>0.05). The values of pH and TVFA´s among groups were insignificantly (P>0.05) affected, however the effect on NH 3 -N was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased by increasing the replacement levels of DPSBM and G1 had the highest value compared to other groups. All blood parameters were in normal range for sheep. The values of total protein, albumin and the AST were not significantly (P>0.05) affected. The urea level of the G1 was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower compared to all groups. The creatinine values of G2, G3 and G4 were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control group. The ALT level of the control group was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower than the other groups. Average daily live body weight gain (g/h/d) in G1, 2 and 3 was approximately equals but G4 (30% DPSBM) showed the lowest value (162 g/h/d) compared to other groups. Feed intake (kg/h/d) as fed, DM, OM and CP decrease by increasing the replacement levels of DPSBM compared to control group. Feed conversion ratio (kg DMI/ kg gain) at G2 (20% DPSBM) was superior to the other experimental rations and it was 6.62 compared to 6.78 (control) and 6.72 (G1, 10% DPSBM) wherever G4 achieved the lower value (7.72). The cost of one ton of CFM was lower by 3.9%, 7.8% and 11.7 % in G2, G3 and G4 respectively than cost of CFM of (G1). TMR price (LE/kg) and total feed cost (LE/h/d) also decreased by increasing the replacement levels. The result showed that feed cost (LE) for producing 1Kg of gain in G2 and 3 were better than the cost in control group and G4 showed the highest cost compared to other groups and this reflect in the value of REE (%) / 1kg gain, daily gain income (LE/h) and REE (%) /h/d. It can be concluded that DPSBM can be utilized effectively in the ration at replacement percentage of 10-20% of yellow corn grains and wheat bran without adversely effecting growth performance, digestibility blood metabolites and rumen parameters of Barki lambs.

SUMMARY orty growing Barki lambs of (3:4) months age and 34.97 kg average body weight were divided randomly into four equal groups (10 animals each): Animals of T1 (control) were fed on a basal diet according to the farm feeding system regime while T2, T3, and T4 (treated) were fed as T1 plus (for T2) 1 gm of powder (prebiotics) for every 1 kg of concentrate feed given to this group, for T3 0.5 g of powder (probiotics) per 1 kg of concentrate feed and T4 were received 1 g per 1 kg of concentrate feed. The aims of the experiment were to study the effects of some feed additives, especially prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics, as synthetic sources, on the productive performance and feed efficiency of growing Barki lambs length of the experiment period. The results showed that the highest significant value (P≤0.05) of DMI was recorded for T4, followed by T3, T2, and then T1, and a higher non-significant value of dry matter conversion (P≥0.05) was recorded for T4. The highest significant values of (DM, OM, CP, and NFE) were recorded for T4, followed by T3, T2, and then T1 and the highest non-significant values of CF and EE were noticed for T4. There were significant (P≤0.05) differences in Blood plasma total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, and GPT, and insignificant (P≥0.05) differences in Blood plasma cholesterol, and triglycerides. Regarding growth performance and feed efficiency, the group that received synbiotic treatment T4 showed the highest values of daily gain (P≤0.05) and DM conversion followed by Prebiotic, Preobiotic, and then the control. These results indicate that the use of synbiotics or prebiotic or probiotic as an additives to conventional or industrial feed leads to an increase in growth performance and feed conversion efficiency, increasing the the blood plasma total protein and reducing the levels of urea, creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride, and liver enzymes which affects the economic return of raising lambs. The average total DMI during entire the experimental period had a gradual significant increase (P≤0.05), in which the lowest value was recorded in the first period (1.46 kg/h/day), while the highest value was recorded in the sixth and last period (1.88 kg/h/day), also The highest significant value between the groups was recorded for T4 Followed by the prebiotic and probiotic groups. Due to the gradual increase in body weight. These results are in good agreement with those obtained by Estrada-Angulo et.al (2021) The experiment was conducted on forty male lambs of average initial weight (29.52 kg) for a period of 93 days. The groups were randomly divided into four groups (10 animals for each group). The first group (the control group) was fed a diet on the farm without any additions from the experimental treatments, while the experimental group was fed The second group (probiotics) was fed on the farm diet plus 3 gm of (live Saccharomyces cerevisiae/lamb/day) experimental treatment, while the third group (pr

SUMMARY he aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of yeast supplementation (Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885, Probio-Sacc®, Biochem, Lohne, Germany) on performance and methane production of dairy buffaloes under heat stress. Ten Egyptian lactating buffaloes with an average live body weight 585 ±30 kg, in their 3 rd or 4 th lactation seasons and at 90±10 days in milk were randomly assigned into two nutritional groups each of 5 animals. The first group served as a control (G1), while the second group (G2) was individually supplemented with 5 g probiotics per head per day. Each 1 g of Probio-Sacc® contained 1.5 x 10 10 CFU live Saccharomyces cerevisiae MUCL 39885.The experimental period lasted for 90 days. Experimental animals were housed in semi-opened pens under an ambient temperature and relative humidity ranged from 23.3 - 34.4 o C and 21.1 - 69.3 %, respectively and offered their daily requirements according to NRC (2001). Total milk yield (TMY), Milk fat content (MF), milk protein content (MP), Milk total solids (TS), Solids not fat (SNF), Lactose content (ML) and 7% fat corrected milk yield (FCMY) were measured in each group. Temperature humidity index (THI) values ranged from 77.31 to 80.41, indicating that experimental animals were under moderate to severe heat stress during the experimental period. Average total milk yield, (FCMY) and (MF) were higher ( P ≤0.05) in yeast group than the control. milk protein, milk ash, (ML), (TS) and (SNF) tended to be higher insignificantly in yeast supplemented group, but the effect was not significant. Meanwhile, somatic cell count was insignificantly lower in LY treated group than in the control group. Live yeast treatment had no significant effect on total methane production per day but reduced the methane production per kg milk production as compared with the control group. It can be concluded that live yeast supplementation ameliorated the effect of heat stress on buffalo milk production and composition, although it tended to increase methane production due to the increase in dietary dry matter intake. It improved buffaloes milk production, net revenue and animals feed efficiency through different climate changes, by reducing methane production per kg milk production.

SUMMARY his study was conducted to estimate the effect of broccoli by-product (BB) as one of the promising feed additives on nutrients digestibility, growth performance of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits, carcass characteristics as well as some blood parameters, caecal activities and economic efficiency were studied also. A total of 48 weaned rabbits at 6 weeks of age, with average body weight 747.92 g were used in this work. Rabbits were individually housed and fed the experimental dietary treatments using a complete randomized block design, where they were randomly assigned into three homogeneous groups (16 each). Three experimental dietary treatments were designed by using the basal ration with the addition broccoli by-product at 0.0, 1.0 % and 3.0 % levels of (CFM) for control (G1) and the two tested rations (G2) and (G3), respectively for 8 weeks as an experimental periods. The basal diet was formulated to fulfill the necessary requirements of growing rabbits. Results revealed that digestibility of most nutrients and feeding values were significant (P<0.05) higher for both tested rations (G2 and G3) than those of the control one (G1). In the meantime, insignificant difference was observed in digestion coefficient of (CF) among the experimental rations. Ration G3 showed significantly (P<0.05) the highest values of live body weight, total weight gain and feed intake followed by ration G2 versus the lowest values that recorded with control one (G1). Also, feed conversion and performance index were improved by the tested rations in comparison with those of control one, but the differences were not significant. Regarding carcass characteristic, group G2 and G3 showed significantly (P<0.05) higher weights and percentages of empty carcass (with head), giblets and dressing than those of the control one (G1). Similar trend was observed with the measurements of edible giblets (liver, heart and kidney) among the experimental treatments. Better economic efficiency was markedly improved due the addition of broccoli by-products as an additive source especial at the high level (G3). Blood biochemical constituents and caecal activities as pH, TVFAs and ammonia-nitrogen were also investigated. It can be concluded that up to 3.0 % BB can be fed to growing rabbits with no negative impact on digestibility coefficient, physiological functions, productive performance, carcass characteristics, cecum activity or economic efficiency. total albumin Doumas et al.

SUMMARY ifteen male buffalo calves with an average of initial live body weight 181 kg ± 0. 2 were used to study the effect of fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) supplementation on growth performance, nutrients digestibility of growing male buffalo calves. Calves were randomly assigned into three nutritional groups (each of five animals) to receive one of the following experimental rations: the first group served as a control (T1) were received the basal ration (without fibrolytic enzymes); second (T2) and third (T3) groups were received the basal ration plus 10 g and 20g EFE /h /d., respectively. Results indicated that different experimental rations had in general almost similar chemical composition. Adding EFE to basal ration of buffalo calves, led to significant improvement (P <0.05) in experimental rations digestibility and nutritive values (TDN and DCP). Data obtained pointed out also to positive insignificant impact of EFE supplementation on accelerating calves daily gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Efficiency of feed utilization (FCR) was highest in T3 followed by T2 in compare with T1, however, differences were statistically non-significant (P<0.05). male buffalo calves with an initial live body ± 0.2 into three nutritional groups (each of five animals / group) to receive one of the following experimental rations; the first group served as a control (T1); the second group (T2) received the basal ration (T1) which was supplemented with 10 g EFE / head/ day; (T3) received the basal ration plus 20 g EFE /head/day. Rations were offered ad lib and residuals were daily weighed and recorded. A digestibility trail was conducted according to Abou-Akkada and El-Shazly (1958). Samples of rations offered and residuals if any were daily weighed during the collection period for further chemical analysis. Samples of feeds and faeces, were analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), ash contents according to A.O.A.C. (1990).
15头雄性水牛犊牛，平均初始活重181 kg±0。本试验研究了添加纤维分解酶(EFE)对生长中的雄性水牛犊牛生长性能和营养物质消化率的影响。将犊牛随机分为3个营养组(每组5只)，分别饲喂1种试验日粮:第一组为对照(T1)，饲喂基础日粮(不含纤维分解酶);第二组(T2)和第三组(T3)分别饲喂基础日粮+ 10 g和20g EFE /h /d。,分别。结果表明，不同试验饲料的化学成分基本相似。在水牛犊牛基础日粮中添加EFE，可显著提高试验日粮消化率和营养价值(TDN和DCP) (P <0.05)。结果表明，饲粮中添加EFE对加速犊牛日增重和饲料系数(FCR)的影响均不显著。与T1相比，T3的饲料利用效率最高，T2次之，但差异无统计学意义(P<0.05)。初始活体±0.2的雄性水牛犊牛分为3个营养组(每5只/组)，分别接受以下试验口粮中的一种;第一组为对照组(T1);第二组(T2)饲喂基础日粮(T1)，在基础日粮基础上添加10 g EFE /头/ d;(T3)饲喂基础日粮+ 20 g EFE /头/天。口粮是临时提供的，剩余的每日称重并记录。根据Abou-Akkada和El-Shazly(1958)进行消化率试验。在收集期间，每天对提供的口粮样本和残留物(如有)进行称重，以作进一步的化学分析。根据A.O.A.C.(1990)对饲料和粪便样品的干物质(DM)、粗蛋白质(CP)、粗纤维(CF)、粗脂肪(EE)、灰分含量进行分析。
