| Abstract: Eighty four Arabi lambs were used in the study with an average of 16 kg body live weight and an average age of 6 months. These lambs were distributed at random into 8 groups. The aim is to investigate the possibility of improving the nutritive value of sugarcane by-products processed by NaOH (1%), Urea (1%), a mixture of inorganic materials (1%) and molasses (10%). The experiment lasted for 75 days with an initial period of 14 days. This study has demonstrated significant increase in dry and organic matter consumption, in the same time the digestion of dry and organic matter, crude protein and crude fiber for this by-products were increased; this caused a significant increasing in daily live weight gain, total gain and feed conversion efficiency for the lambs Feeding 100, 200 gr. barley/day with treated or untreated sugarcane by-products had a significant effect on feed consumption and digestion parameters, but when the level of barley increase to 300 gr./day caused a decreasing on feed consumption of treated sugarcane by-products in comparison with 100 gr. barley/day and this had no effect on digestion values Increase level of barley in the ration had direct effect on daily and total weight gain, and feed conversion efficiency for lambs. | ||
