Abstract
Use of Salt Tolerant Vegetable Wastes in the Ruminant Rations
Feed for animals are getting high prices. Utilizing salt tolerant vegetable wastes in feed composition for male goats is of paramount importance. Thirty male goat kids of eight weeks age (weaning age) were raised until an age of twenty-four weeks age. All male kids received the same treatment during this period. These kids were divided into 5 groups, immediately after weaning, (males are of 9.4 kg average body weight), G1 (control group) was fed 100% concentrate feed mixture (CFM), G2 was fed 100% saline artichoke waste feed, G3 was fed 100% saline Carrots waste feed, G4 was fed 50% (CFM) feed and 50% saline Artichoke waste feed (CFM) feed and G5 was fed 50% (CFM) feed and 50% saline Carrot waste feed. The highest significant values of changes in body weights and daily weight gain were recorded for G1 followed by G2, G4, G5, and then G3. Highest significant values of (DM, OM, EE and NFE) on the nutrients digestibility coefficient of the goats was recorded for G1, followed by G2, G4, G5, and then G3. There were significant differences in some blood parameters i.e. total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, and GPT. It can be concluded that feeding salt tolerant vegetable wastes has positive impact on growth performance and feed efficiency in male goats.
