TI - Effect of sprouted corn grains on leucaena tree pruning and olive tree pruning diets for desert goats under Sinai conditions KW - Goats KW - Feed utilization efficiency KW - Corn KW - Feeding and feeds KW - Corn as feed KW - Olive N1 - Includes reference N2 - This study was conducted to evaluate alfalfa (Medicago sativa) [control], with two unsprouted leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) (LTP) and olive tree pruning (Olea europaea) (OTP) and also to study the effect of new sprouts technique (planting) of white corn grains on (LTP) and (DTP) as media to produce green fodder in dry seasons. Twenty five desert male goats (21 months old) with average 23.42±0.91kg live body weight The animals were randomly divided into five groups of 5 animals each to receive one of the following experimental roughages: T1: alfalfa hay (control), T2: unsprouted leucaena trees pruning (LTP), T3: unsprouted olive trees pruning (OTP), T4: sprouted pruning leucaena trees (SLTP) and T5: sprouted pruning olive trees (SOTP). Goats were used in feeding trial lasted for fourty five days. The metabolism trial was conducted after the feeding trial to get the most nutritious sprouts green fodder (SGF) with concentrate feed mixture (CFM) UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2013/MUJAPP/413/3/133.pdf ER -
