Abstract:

 

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of diets containing barleys having different liter weights (It wt)  on average daily gain, feed efficiency, profit margins, ruminal fermentation, and carcass characteristics of lambs and diet digestibility.  16 Akkaraman lambs approximately 8 mo old (averaging 30 kg) were used in a randomized design. Treatment groups consisting of  barley grains and barley grains were classified to liter weights as follows: 1. Barley has 643 g lt wt (Group 643). 2. Barley has 570  g lt wt (Group 570). Lambs were fed a diet of 80 % concentrate feed (98 % barley, 2% supplement) and 20 % straw. Average  daily gains and average daily dry matter intake for lambs fed diets containing barleys having 643 and 570 g lt wt were 209.6, 169.6  g and 1361, 1357 g, respectively. Lambs fed diet containing barley having 643 g lt wt had more efficient feed conversion than other  group. Hot carcass quality of lambs fed diet containing barley having 643 g lt wt was better than lambs fed diet containing 570 g  lt wt. Diet containing barley having 643 g lt wt had higher digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein , crude fiber,  ether extract and nitrogen free extract than diet containing barley having 570 g lt wt. Barley having high It wt decreased the cost  of 1 kg live weight gain. Molar percentage of ruminal acetate was lower but molar percentage of propianate and butyrate was higher  in lambs fed diet containing barley having 643 g lt wt compared to the other barley.

 

Bu çalışma, farklı litre ağırlıklarına sahip arpa içeren rasyonların kuzularda, ortalama günlük canlı ağırlık artışı, yemden yararlanma, karlılık, ruminal fermantasyon ve besin maddelerinin sindirilme derecesine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütüldü. Çalışmada, yaklaşık 8 aylık (ortalama 30 kg) 16 adet Akkaraman kuzu tesadüfü deneme düzeninde kullanıldı. Arpalar litre ağırlıklarına göre aşağıdaki gibi gruplandırıldı. 1) 643 g litre ağırlığına sahip arpa (Grup 643) 2) 570 g litre ağırlığına sahip arpa (Grup 570). Kuzular % 80 konsantre yem (%98 Arpa+ %2 Katkı Maddesi) ve % 20 saman içeren rasyonla beslendi. 643 ve 570 g litre ağırlığına sahip arpa içeren rasyonlarla beslenen kuzularda ortalama günlük canlı ağırlık kazancı ve kuru madde tüketimi sırası ile, 209.6, 169. 6 ve 1361, 1357 g olarak belirlenmiştir. Kuzularda yemden yararlanma düzeyi ve sıcak karkas kalitesi 643 grubunda daha iyi bulunmuştur. Kuru madde, organik madde, ham protein, ham yağ, ham selüloz ve azotsuz öz maddenin sindirlme derecesi 643 grubunda, 570 grubuna göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Litre ağırlığı yüksek olan (643 grubu) arpa, 1 kg canlı ağırlık kazancının maliyetini azaltmıştır. Ruminal asetik asit düzeyi, 643 grubunda daha düşük bulunurken, propiyonik ve bütirik asit düzeyi bu grupta daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
