| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out in the research station for sheep and goast office of agricultural researchs Ministry of agriculture from 11-8-2011 18-11-2011. Fifteen male awassi lamps aged 7-9 month and averaged 34.250 Kg in live body weight were used .lamps were divided randomly in to 3 equal groups (5 lamps for each). The group A Control feed on diet containing standard concentrate ration, group B 5% lin seeds was added to standard concentrate ration, while group C fed on 5% sesame seeds added to standard concentrate ration.All lamps were introduced 2% concentrate ration of live body weight and fed on alfalfa hay adlibtum. The experiment period lasted 100 days, 3 lamps from each group were slaughterd at the end of experiment. The ratio of cuts and Tail fat compostion was studied .Results revealed the group B was significantly superior (p<0.05) in percentage of weight kidneys compared with the control. While the results showed an increase in percentage of weights Shoulder and Leg in group A, and an increased percentage of weights loin in group C compared with control.there was an increase in Refractive Index value in tail fat of lamps in group included addition of Lin seeds as well as reduced Melting point of Tail fat of lamps in group B and C compared with group A. The group B was significantly superior (p<0.05) in peroxide value of tail fat. The free fatty acids were also significantly superior (p< 0.05) in group B and C. The fat tail in group B was superior (p<0.05) in content of Linolenic acid compared with group A, While the group C was superior for linolic acid compared with group A. | ||
