| Abstract |
This search aimed to study the effect of completely replacing soybean meal with either com gluten meal or cotton seed meal and completely replacing clover hay with radicel in ostrich diets on their growth performance taking in consideration the economical aspects. Two parts were conducted in Europian village ostrich farm (special farm). In the 1 st part. 15 ostrich birds aged 5 months were distributed equally into 5 groups, each contained three replicates. Five isocaloric (2450 Kcal DE/Kg) and isonitrogenous (19 % CP) experimental grower diets and other five finisher diets (2300 Kcal/Kg . 17 % CP) were formulated for feeding ostrich during growing (5-9 months) and up to .12 months of age. respectively. In the 2nd part,5 digestion trials were carried out to determine to nutrients digestibility and feeding value of the finisher diets in addition to measuring some blood constituents. Results obtained showed that corn gluten, cotton seed meal and radicel could be used in feeding ostrich. However, the replacement level must be less than 100 %. Where the control group surpassed other experimental groups with significant differences observed in some parameters, although no significant differences were detected in other parameters. Therefore. no significant differences were found among all dietary treatments in economical efficiency values. The results of digestibility and feeding value of experimental diets showed also no significant differences between treatments where corn gluten meal and cotton seed meal completely replaced soybean meal and also between treatments in which radicel completely replaced clover hay. Moreover, no significant differences were detected among treatments in plasma cholesterol, AIT, AST, calcium and phosphorous. All these findings confirmed the suitability of using the tested agro-industrial by-products in ostrich diets. However, the replacement level could be lowered than 100 % to obtain the best results from the nutritional and economical points of view.
