Effect Of Using Of Some Meals On Performance Of Awassi Lambs

The research was conducted on 24 male lambs of Awassi sheep to study the effect of using different levels of soya bean meals(SBM), partially dehulled sunflower meals (SFM) and partially dehulled cottonseed meals(CSM). The experiment extended for 70 days, experimental units were rested, then left for an adaptation period of 10 days, during the adaptation period, the animals were housed in one pen, in the end of the adaptation period, the lambs were individually weighed, then divided according to live weight into three equal groups of an average (22-25)kg each. The concentrates was the same for all groups in protein and energy intake, but the difference was only in percentage of SBM21%, SFM 20%, and CSM15%.

Economic study of the record spending on lamb according to the social and economic characteristics of the population in Syria

The research aimed to study the impact of social and economic factors on consumer spending Syrian family of lamb during the three periods 2003/2004- 2006/2007 -2008/2009 and identify the most important factors affecting the demand of lamb per-capita during the period 1985-2008. The results showed that the average monthly household expenditure of lamb affected during periods of above-mentioned periods by the geographical distribution of population between rural and urban areas, change the taste and preferences of the consumer, educational level of the head of the household, the size of family, monthly family income and profession of the head of household. As it turned out that spending on lamb was flexible in general, where more than one value was correct, but it was more flexible in the period 2008/2009 from the two previous periods. Reaching flexibility spending power in both periods preceding the value of 1.1, while the 1.6 in the period 2008/2009, and interpreted the factors studied explained collectively about 73.7% of the variation in the quantities consumed of the lamb, and the value of the price elasticity special lamb 1.31, and flexibility Cross 1.29, and 0.39 was the spending flexibility. It was found that there was a need to provide adequate amounts of lamb to meet demand and reduce unjustified rise to its price in the local market and also to pay attention to the poultry sector, which constitutes a major and a good alternative to lamb.

Effect of Consecutive Weaning on Milk Production and Growth Rate of Lambs of Awassi Sheep

This study was conducted in Ber Al-Ajam village, on a private farm, with a group of Awassi sheep (76 ewes) in 2004-2005. A group of 57 lambs were selected out of single born lambs and divided into two groups according to sex. Each group was divided randomly into sub groups: control and experimental. At the beginning of the experiment, at three weeks age, there were no significant differences between the groups of lambs (p > 0.05).

Testing the Efficiency Use of The Programmed Nursing Machine* in Raising Awassi Lambs under Sem-intensive Production System

Twenty four of Awassi lambs, Reared at Al-Kraim Center for Sheep Breeding and Range Management, were used to test the efficiency of artificial raising using the Programmed Nursing Machine (PNM) on the growth rate of Awassi newborn lambs for eleven weeks postlambing. Lambs were divided equally and randomly into two groups. The lambs in the first group (G١) were separated from their dams at ٧,٤ ± ٣,١ days old and raised artificially on dried whole dairy milk using PNM, while the lambs in the second group (G٢), the control group, were left with their dams to be raised naturally during the studied period (١١ weeks).
