| Abstract | ||
| The present study was carried out on eighteen (9 male and 9 female) Awassi lambs aged (3.5-4 months) with average initial weights 23.11±0.31 Kg., lambs were assigned into three groups (3 male and 3 female/group) fed on three rations different in Sesame byproduct percentage (0 , 6 and 12%) at level of 4% of live body weight daily for ninety days, to study the effect of nutritional treatment, lamb sex and fattening period on production performances and some body dimensions heights, fore and rear body thickness, for Awassi lambs. The results indicated that Sesame byproduct percentages have insignificant effects on lamb performances, body length and dimensions, while male lambs were significantly (P≤0.05) superior than female lambs in average daily gain, total gain, final weight,, body length and different body dimensions, also with the advance of feeding period lamb performances, body length and dimensions were increased significantly (P≤0.05). The results also indicated that there are a significant and positive correlation coefficients between body weight and body length and measurements.We conclude that it can use sesame residues produced locally to replace instead of soybean meal as one of the components of the rations of fattening without affects on the productive performance of lambs. | ||
