“…All animals completed the experiment without any noticeable health problems or disorders. In agreement with our results, previous studies have shown that the use of AF did not affect the health status of the animals [6,7,8,9,10]. In the current study, no effect on DM, CP, and ADF intake was found.…”

“…Due to the increased international demand for these feeds, their prices have increased significantly, which has led to increased pressure on sheep producers. Researchers are therefore interested in the use of cheap alternative feeds (AF) in livestock diets, such as bread by-products (BB), carob pods (CARP) [8], olive cake (OC) [7], and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) [9,10]. In addition, the use of these feeds would reduce pollution for the environment if it remains without disposal.…”

Simple SummaryAlternative feeds have been used to feed animals for decades by replacing traditional feeds to increase the profit of raising livestock. In this study, alternative feeds (dried distillers grains with solubles, carob pods, olive cake, and bread by-product) were fed to Awassi ewes and ewe lambs at 0, 200, and 400 g/kg. Chemical composition was similar among diets. Feed intake, body weight change, and milk yield did not differ among diets. Cost of milk production decreased in alternative feeds containing diets, with no negative effect on health, welfare, and productivity.AbstractTwo experiments were done to assess the effects of alternative feeds (AF; dried distillers grains with solubles, carob pods, olive cake, and bread by-product) on lactating performance of ewes and digestibility and nitrogen (N) retention of lambs. Diets were: no AF (CON); 200 g/kg AF (AF200); and 400 g/kg AF (AF400). In Experiment 1, 27 Awassi ewes were randomly distributed into three groups, and each was fed one of the diets described before (9 ewes/diet). Evaluation of milk composition and yield was performed at the beginning of the experiment and on days 18, 36, and 54. In Experiment 2, 18 Awassi lambs were allocated to the same diets (6 ewe lambs/diet) during a 21-day trial (14 days housed individually in shaded pens and 7 days in metabolic cages). In Experiment 1, no differences in body weight (BW) of the ewes and their lambs were detected. With the exception of neutral detergent fiber intake, which was lower in the AF-containing diets compared with CON, dry matter, crude protein, and acid detergent fiber intake were not affected by dietary treatment. Milk yield and composition was comparable among diets, and the cost of milk production was lower in AF compared to CON diet. In Experiment 2, nutrient digestibility and N retention were not affected by the diet. Results showed the possibility of including different AF in ewe and lamb diets to mitigate production cost without negatively affecting intake, milk yield, and composition, digestibility, and animal welfare and health.

“…Concurrent with previous studies that were reported in our lab (Obeidat et al 2012;Obeidat et al 2016aObeidat et al , 2016bObeidat 2018), this study proved that corn DDGS, as agro-industrial by product, is cheaper and would be more economical to feed nursing Awassi ewes compared with the other ingredients such as barley grain and soybean. Such results show the benefits of using corn DDGS in the ration.…”

“…The early stages of milk production are critical as they affect the lactation outcome and, hence, lamb preweaning growth. Rearing livestock on non-by-product grains and protein sources is usually very costly, as the price of feeds is the greatest variable expense in the sheep industry, affecting productivity and reducing profitability (Obeidat and Shdaifat 2013;Obeidat 2018). Thus, by-products such as corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) are great feed alternatives that can be fed to livestock to decrease the cost of production, thereby improving profitability (Obeidat 2018).…”

The effect of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on milk yield, milk composition and body weight (BW) and digestibility were evaluated by using lactating ewe (Exp. 1) and Awassi ewe lambs (Exp. 2). Dietary treatments were (1) no DDGS (CON), (2) 200 gkg À1 DDGS (DDGS200) or (3) 300 gkg À1 DDGS (DDGS300) of dietary dry matter (DM). In Exp. 1, 30 lactating Awassi ewes were randomly assigned to the corresponding diets. Nutrient intakes were determined daily throughout the experiment which lasted for 8 weeks. Body weights of ewes and lambs were measured on days 0, 28 and 56 of the study whilst milk yield and composition were recorded on days 18, 36 and 54. Ewe BW changes were similar amongst treatments. Ewes consuming the DDGS diet showed increased milk production (p<.045) over those provided the CON diet. Cost of diets and milk production reduced (p¼.01) in DDGS-containing diets compared with the CON diet. In Exp. 2, 18 Awassi ewe lambs were randomly assigned into the same dietary treatments and fed their diets for 21 days. Digestibility of DM and ADF was lower (p<.017) for the CON diet than for the DDGS diets. Digestibility of CP and NDF increased (p<.036) in the DDGS200 diet than the CON diet. Results indicate DDGS has the potential to be included up to 300 gkg À1 of dietary DM of DDGS in Awassi ewes' diets with no negative effects on production parameters whilst being cost effective. HIGHLIGHTS Cost of feed and milk production decreased in DDGS diets. Milk production increased in DDGS diets. Milk composition was similar among diets.

Were evaluated sodium bicarbonate.-F1- and urea.-F2.- (two factors), each factor at two inclusion levels (F1 and F2: 0 and 1%), and its effect on intake and digestibility in rations with byproduct of the fermentative process of starches and / or molasses (mixture of yeast and unfermented material).-LD.-, sugarcane molasses and ammoniated sugar cane tops for lamb. Eight crossbred lamb (19.31±5.96 kg/lamb) was included in a 2x2 factorial in a 4x4 Latin square design. Treatments were combinations of LD (14% in T1, 13.8% for T2, T3 and T4) and molasses (26% in T1, 25.8% for T2, T3 and T4), with or without urea, and / or sodium bicarbonate to 1% w/u, and source of fiber were used 60 % of ammoniated sugar cane tops in all treatments. The supply of rations was gradually adjusted to 7% dry matter (DM) of body weight (28±8.66% rejection of the offer), digestibility was measured by total collection for seven days adaptation period preceded of seven day. Differences (p<0.01) for intake where intake had the highest T2 and T4 the lower (1239 vs 1066 gDM/animal/day) in the digestibility of organic matter (p<0.01) were found where T4 reached one 72% while the T2 was the lowest with 57.35%. The coefficients of digestibility of hemicelluloses, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber and were different (p<0.01) and were higher in the same T1. The results showed that T4 was the best treatment, urea and sodium bicarbonate can be used effectively with agro-industrial byproducts in lambs in confinement.
