Partial replacement of forage and concentrate with pomegranate pulp (peel and seed) silage and pomegranate seed pulp in Mehraban fattening lambs: effect on performance and carcass characteristics

Feeding pomegranate pulp to Ghezel lambs for enhanced productivity and meat quality

“…There is, therefore, a need to confirm these results when non-pelletised and sundried PP is included into the TMR. In addition, a variety of breeds were investigated by these previous studies of PP effects on lamb performance, carcasses and meat quality, including Comisana ( Natalello et al, 2023 ), Baluchi ( Kazemi & Valizadeh, 2021 ), Pelagnoia ( Kotsampasi et al, 2021 ), Awassi ( Obeidat, 2023 ), and Mehraban ( Ghoreishi et al, 2021 ). These studies and the literature have not described the dietary effects of non-pelletised PP in the TMR of Ghezel lambs, a major breed used in the prime lamb production systems of Iran and neighbouring countries ( Barzegari et al, 2010 ).…”
