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).
هدف البحث إلى دراسة سلوك العجلات الرضيعة تجاه جهاز الإرضاع الآلي المبرمج ليصار إلى
تطوير برمجته، بالإضافة إلى تنشئة عجلات بوزن جيد و سليمة صحيًا و بتكاليف مناسبة في مزارع الأبقار
