“…This is consistent with previous observations [5,6]. The reason is attributed to the availability of wellbalanced diets that encourage increased weight gain [7]. These findings are consistent with those of Michael, Baruselli [8] who showed that the accumulation of adipose tissue and body condition score in young heifers are linked to their diet and rate of weight gain.…”

The purpose of this study was to predict arid and semi-arid of heifer body characteristics using physiological data. Twenty heifers were weighed on an electronic scale, and heart girth (HG) was recorded. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein, and serum was harvested. Blood parameters such blood urea nitrogen, BUN; glucose, Glc; and total protein, TP. In addition, blood hematological indices (red blood cells, white blood cells, lymphocytes, and hemoglobin) were measured. The growth of the body has resulted in an increase in weight, which has been steadily climbing over time. The body weight was ranged between 319 and 328 kg. There was no correlation between any of the physiological parameters and the live weight of the animals. While, there was a significant inverse correlation (P<0.001) between total protein and the vast majority of the other parameters. The multiple regression analysis shows a direct relationship between Glc and BUN as independent influencing factors on the characteristic that was being studied, which was body weight. Furthermore, with an average GLc measurement, the body weight rose by approximately 8. Overall, physiology as a predictor may be applied. Though, it is not sufficient for predicting live weight.

“…Even though rations containing PKC had higher weight gain even if rations containing PKC with corn or sunflower meal (R2, R4) showed more weight gain at addition probiotics to the rations. that is consistent with Saeed et al (2018) reported that inclusion of 10% corn as a source of energy and 65.3% PKC as a fattening diet had a positive effect on Dorper lamb growth, ADG, and organ performance. Our findings were consistent with those of Santos et al (2016), who It was found that using PKC as a partial substitute for the concentrate can reduce the intake of most nutrients except EE and NDF and feeding lamb at a ratio of 50:50 fiber/concentrate has a negative impact on digestibility and nutrient performance.…”

The effect of two probiotic products with Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) as source of dietary protein and/or energy in ruminant diets on the growth performance and some blood parameters of Barki lamps were evaluated. Two commercial probiotic formulas (ZAD and ICEC-Trol) were administrated directly with theirapplications: P1 (without probiotic), P2 (ZAD), P3 (ZAD + ICEC-Trol), the combination of four different rations: R1 (control), R2 (PKC as source of energy), R3 (PKC as source of energy and protein) and R4 (PKC as source of protein). Barki lambs (n=96, 35kg average body weight) were randomly assigned to 12 experimental groups in a completely randomized block design. (8 lambs for each group) and fed for 47 days. ZAD probiotic was applied at 2 ml/head/day and ICEC-TROL was applied at 3 g/head/day. Animals weight gain and average daily gain were measured and Glucose, total protein, albumin, calcium and phosphorus were measured. Results showed that animals fed control ration (R1) with P2, R2 with P3 and R4 with P3 showed highest (P<0.05) total weight gain (10.75, 10.88 and 10.56, respectively) and average daily gain (0.229, 0.231 and 0.225, respectively). ZAD probiotic improved serum total protein, globulin, glucose when using with PKC in lambs' rations. In conclusion, using PKC as a source of energy or protein, with two sources of probiotics in lambs' rations showed to be more effective in weight gain, while using one probiotic (ZAD) is enough for fattening with traditional rations.

“…The cooking loss (mean 26.55%) in this study was within a reasonable range. Previous research has shown the potential of using alternative feed ingredients without degrading carcass characteristics and meat quality [10, 11]. This could explain why PKC has no effect on the meat quality of lambs and that the variations among treatments may be due to the inclusion of corn in the diet.…”

Background The increasing costs of feed has subsequently increased the costs of production of livestock, thereby decreasing the profit margin of this sector. The utilization of agro-industrial by-products has to some extent substitute some of the corn grains and soyabean meal, commonly used in animal feeds. In Malaysia, palm kernel cake (PKC) is a by-product of the oil palm industry and is frequently used to supply both crude protein (14–16% CP) and energy (11 MJ/kg) in ruminants. The energy and protein content are adequate for maintenance in the majority of ruminants. However, highly available energy supplementation is known to improve growth performance and protein deposition. This study was carried out to determine the effect on the quality of meat and fatty acid composition of the semitendinosus (ST), supraspinatus (SS), and longissimus lumborum (LL) muscles of Dorper lambs by including corn as an energy source in a basal diet of PKC urea-treated rice straw. Results The results show that the LL muscle-drip loss was greater in animals supplemented with 5% corn compared to the other groups. Higher pH values of SS and LL muscles were observed in animals supplemented with 5 and 10% corn. Furthermore, the L* value of ST muscle was increased in lambs fed on 5% corn while, reduced in those fed on 0% corn, but the a* and b* values were not significantly different in the treatment groups. The fatty acid composition of the SS muscles showed that lambs fed on 10% corn had higher levels of sum PUFA n-3 compared to those fed on 0% corn. The concentration of C18:1trans11 and CLA c12 t10 in ST muscle from the lambs fed on supplemented diets were higher than those of the controls. Conclusion This study has concluded the supplementation of corn as a source of energy into a PKC urea-treated rice straw-based diet increased the PUFA concentrations of muscles as compared to control groups.
