| Abstract |
Three roughages (com stalks, wheat straw, and rice straw) were compared for the effect of two or three times feeding frequency per day on the performance of three different sheep breeds (Farafra, Chios and Ossimi). Feeds consisted of 50:50 roughage: concentrates and were offered restricted at 3% of live body weight in eighteen metabolism trials.
Dry matter intakes were not influenced by frequency of feeding, animal breed or by type of roughage. Ossimi breed showed higher values than the other breeds in nutrient utilization. Three times feeding frequency showed better digestibility coefficients than two times. Ossimi, corn stalks and three times feeding were higher than the others in nitrogen retention. Results indicated that no significant differences among breeds, type of roughage and feeding frequency in rumen parameters.
It is concluded that, under the conditions prevailed in this study, increasing feeding frequency improved nutrient utilization in different sheep breeds or in different rations. .
