| Abstract |
Eighteen Barki lambs with average body weight of 20 kg were divided into three similar groups. Lambs in the first group were fed ration consisted of concentrate feed mixture (CFM), berseem hay (BH) as a control ration, while those in the second group were fed CFM and dried artichoke by-product (DAB) and those in the third group were fed CFM and ensiled artichoke by-product (SAB).
Ensiled artichoke by-product contained higher contents of CP, EE and ash and lower OM, NDF, ADF and ADL as compared to DAB. The digestibilities of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF and NFE as well as nutritive values were significantly higher (P<0.05) for SAB compared to DAB.
Control ration (RI) had lower OM, CP and NFE, but higher CF and ash contents compared to R2 and R3 containing DAB and SAB, respectively. Ration 3 showed the highest digestbilities of DM, OM, CP, EE and NFE and subsequently nutritive values (P<0.05). However, RI showed the lowest DM, OM and EE digestibilites (P<0.05). while, R2 revealed the lowest CP and NFE digestibilities (P<0.05).
Ruminal liquor from lambs fed RI showed the highest pH value and NH3-N concentration and the lowest TVFA's concentration in rumen fluid (P<0.05). While, lambs fed R3 showed the highest ruminal TVFA's concentration and the lowest ruminal pH value (P
