| Abstract | ||
| Study aimed to compare two approaches of breeding methods and improving the lambs, first using the closed barn method where the lambs feed on agricultural and domestic wastes with a small amount of concentrated feed barley, this due to fodder scarcity and high prices. And the second approach is to have the lambs out to pasture along with cows in the field, in collaboration with a farmer volunteers into a train program to make farmers adopt scientific bases selection in improving and breeding the lambs. Ten lambs were used for each group, aged three months and the average weight was (15) kg per lamb. The results showed that the first approach better, and the economic gain value was achieved about (1650) dinars, while (800) dinars obtained by the second approach, and the invested dinar returns was (2.031) dinars, according to a first approach , and in the second approach was (1.593) dinars. This sustains the good management and the good organization that the farmer has adopted and will continue to implement it in the future. We recommend to generalize this experiment between other farmers to get rid of the traditional methods in the breeding lambs, as well as to get the farmer's profit is very rewarding, and encouraging the usage of agricultural and household wastes rather than wasted because of the scarcity of fodder. | ||
