The research was carried out in Karahta Research Station for Shami goats
by using 84/head/Shami kids (122±18.65 days old and 18±3.77 kg body weight).
This trial continued for a 90 day period. Its goal was to find out the possibility
of reducing th
e offered concentrated feed in about 40% from the regular
requirements for growing and replacing it by improving the nutritive value of
the offered straw when they treated with urea, molasses or both of them.
The Animals divided randomly into six treatments according to the offered
feed for each treatment as the follows:
Untreated wheat straw (control), wheat straw treated with 20% molasses,
1% urea, 1% urea and 20% molasses, 2.5% and with 2.5% urea and 20%
molasses.
