| Abstract |
The effect of seasonal variations on feed and water consumption, nutrients digestibility, nutritive value, N-balance, physiological parameters and thyroid activity were studied in Egyptian sheep.
Intake of ration and wheat straw was not significantly affected by seasonal variations, the microbial protein synthesis was significantly lower in summer than in other seasons. This was accompanied by an increase in ammonia-N. T3 and T4 concentrations were significantly higher in autumn and the lowest in summer.
Conclusion:
The results showed that year round continuous ration allowances could not satisfy the animal energy requirements, especially, during spring, winter and autumn.
