Abstract:
The experiment examined the effect of partial or whole replacement of yellow corn in growing Barki lambs rations by dried sugar beet pulp (SBP) on digestibility, blood parameters and growth performance. Forty Barki lambs averaged (30 kg live body weight) and 6 months old were divided into 5 groups of 8 lambs each for 90 days trial. All tested rations were contained concentrate feed mixture (CFM) and clover hay. Corn grains was the main source of energy in the CFM (SBP0), while 25, 50, 75 and 100% of CFM corn were substituted by SBP in SBP0, SBP50, SBP75 and SBP100, respectively. Results showed that SPB75 and SBP100 recorded higher (P0.05) among the experimental rations whereas TDN and DCP per kg gain was significantly (P
