“…The increased CP intake with the higher SSM rations is due to the increased total DMI and higher CP content of the SSM in comparison with the basal diet. Obeidat et al (2009) found that Awassi lambs on diets containing 25% sesame hull had improved feed intake, except for CP, and that this improvement might be attributed in part to higher palatability and lower dustiness in the diet as a result of higher EE, which trapped dust particles. Similar effects on intake were reported when Awassi lambs were fed with 8% of DM of SSM in sheep diet (Obeidat et al, 2009).…”

“…Omar (2002) reported that the inclusion of the SSM at 10% and 20% improved digestibility of protein and fibre, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and the ratio of the cost of feed to gain (kg) in growing Awassi lambs. Obeidat et al (2009) found that when SBM was replaced with SSM (with 46% CP), finishing performance improved, and cost of production diminished, without detrimental effects to carcass characteristics or meat quality of Awassi lambs. Also, Obeidat & Aloqaily (2010) found that when SBM and barley grain were replaced by sesame hull at levels of 12.5% and 25%, the finishing performance of Awassi lambs was improved and the cost of production was reduced.…”

“…However, sesame seed has high amounts of oxalate and phytic acid, which reduces the bioavailability of its calcium, but dehulling reduces its oxalic acid contents (FAO, 1990). Additional advantages are that sesame seed contains about 50% oil and 20-25% CP (Obeidat et al, 2009). Therefore, it can be used as a protein supplement to replace traditional sources such as SBM in feeding sheep to help reduce feed cost.…”

“…Few studies have evaluated the effect of using SSM to feed sheep (Omar, 2002;Obeidat et al, 2009;Obeidat & Aloqaily, 2010;Hassan et al, 2013). Omar (2002) reported that the inclusion of the SSM at 10% and 20% improved digestibility of protein and fibre, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and the ratio of the cost of feed to gain (kg) in growing Awassi lambs.…”

Two experiments were carried out to determine ruminal degradability of sesame meal (SSM) and its effects on intake, digestibility, rumen parameters, chewing activity, and lamb performance when it replaced soybean meal (SBM). Degradability of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) were determined with the nylon bag technique using three fistulated Zel ewes. The quickly and potentially degradable DM of SSM was lower, but their degradation rates of DM were similar. The quickly degradable protein in the SSM was greater, but the slowly degradable protein of SSM was lower. Potential degradable protein of SBM was greater. The degradation rate of protein was greater in the SSM. Thirty Zel lambs were assigned to five treatments, namely 1) control diet that contained SBM, and 2), 3), 4) and 5) diets that contained 25, 50, 75, and 100% DM of SSM partially or entirely replacing SBM and part of barley grain. There was no difference in the intakes of DM, CP, ether extract (EE), and non-fibre carbohydrate (NFC) among treatments, but neutral detergent fibre (NDF) intake increased when the SSM inclusion rate was increased. Digestibility of DM and EE, passage rate, and total mean retention time differed, but the digestibility of NDF, CP, and NFC, rumen liquid pH and NH 3 -N, passage rate, rumen retention time, eating time, rumination, total chewing activity, DM intake, daily gain, feed conversation ratio, carcass yield and characteristics were not different between treatments. Replacing the SBM with SSM in lamb, improved intake, digestibility, and rumen condition, without reduction in performance and carcass composition. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…Hence, the need to harness the potential of the numerous AIBs and the socalled wastes as part replacement for expensive ones have been advocated (Aletor, 1986). Overall, the purpose of using alternative feedstuffs in livestock diets is to reduce the cost while improving or at least not affecting carcass characteristics and meat quality (Obeidat et al, 2009). One of such AIBs is cassava peel.…”

SUMMARYA study was conducted to assess the effects of dietary inclusion of processed cassava peel meals (CPM) on the carcass characteristics, meat quality and economy of production of thirty-two growing rabbits. The rabbits, aged 6-week old with an initial average weight of 567±23 g, were allocated to a completely randomized design in a 9-week experiment. There were four diets consisting of a control (without cassava peel meal) and 200 g kg -1 of ensiled cassava peel meal (ECPM), sun-dried cassava peel meal (SCPM) and retted cassava peel meal (RCPM), respectively. The hydrogen cyanide (HCN) contents of processed CPM followed this rank order: RCPM (98.10 mg/kg) < SCPM (165 mg/kg) < ECPM (299.21 mg/kg) < unprocessed cassava peel meal (710.98 mg/kg). Live, slaughter and dressed weights, dressing percentage, meat to bone ratio, and pelt, shoulder, loin and leg expressed as the percentage of the dressed weight were lower (p<0.05) in ECPM than other diets. Other carcass parameters, meat organoleptic properties and savings on cost of feeding were not significantly influenced by the dietary treatments. Feed cost/kg body weight gain (BWG) decreased (p<0.05) with inclusion of 200 g/kg CPM in the diets. Differential cost/kg BWG and relative cost benefit/kg BWG showed similar trend and followed this rank order: RCPM > SCPM > ECPM (all p<0.05). Meat to bone ratio was positively and significantly (p<0.0001, R 2 = 0.9996) influenced by live, slaughter and dressed weights. The results indicate the efficacy of the processing methods in cassava peels detoxification, cost effectiveness of the 200 g kg -1 CPM diets and absence of negative effect of residual HCN contents of the detoxified CPM on the meat quality of the experimental rabbits. RESUMENSe realizó un estudio para determinar los efectos de la inclusión en la dieta de peladuras de yuca (CPM) sobre las características de la canal, calidad de la carne y economía de la producción de 32 conejos en crecimiento. Los conejos, de 6 semanas de edad y peso inicial de 567±23 g, fueron organizados en un diseño completamente al azar en un experimento de 9 semanas de duración. Se utilizaron cuatro dietas una dieta control (sin CPM) y otras con 200 g kg -1 de CPM ensilada (ECPM), secada al sol (SCPM) o enriada (RCPM) respectivamente. El contenido de ácido cianhídrico (HCN) de la CPM procesada fue: RCPM (98,10 mg/kg) < SCPM (165 mg/kg) < ECPM (299,21 mg/kg) < CPM sin procesar (710,98 mg/kg). Los pesos vivo, al sacrificio y de la canal, el rendimiento canal, carne/hueso, y los porcentajes sobre la canal de piel, lomo, espalda y pierna fueron menores (p<0,05) en la dieta ECPM. Otros parámetros de la canal, propiedades organolépticas, y ahorro en el coste de alimentación no fueron significativamente influidos por los tratamientos. El coste de alimentacion por kg de ganancia de peso vivo (BWG) dismi...

Fat-tailed sheep (FTS) is a group of breeds characterized by large (fatty) tails that it is commonly distributed in Africa, Middle East, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent in other countries. Awassi, a common FTS breed in many Mediterranean countries, is adaptive and suitable to live in harsh conditions of the arid and semiarid areas. One of the main constraints for sheep industry in those areas is the limited supply and variable quality and quantity of feedstuffs. Using several alternative feedstuffs (AF) has been a common practice to decrease production cost of Awassi sheep industry in those areas. The appropriate AF to be used is determined by several animal and feed factors. These AF includes, but not limited to, unconventional feedstuffs, agricultural byproducts, and agro-industrial byproducts. A good body of literature about the use of AF and the effects of such use on performance of Awassi sheep is available. Some of these AF have been shown to be safely used in Awassi diets with no detrimental effects on sheep performance or health and, thus, recommended to lower the production cost. Other AF has controversial effects and recommendations. This paper reviews the effects of using AF on performance of Awassi ewes and lambs. Effects on intake, nutrient digestibilities, growth rate, and carcass characteristics of lambs and on intake, nutrient digestibilities, body weight change, milk yield, and milk composition of ewes will be emphasized. Recommendations and limitations for using AF will also be briefly discussed.
