Abstract

This trial was conducted to investigate the effect of forage source (alfalfa hay or corn silage) and level (15 or 30 % in dry matter) on the performance of fattening lambs. In this 56-day experiment, 80 Konya .Merino male lambs aged about 3.5-4 months and initially live weight 30-32 kg were used. Treatment was arranged in 2x2 factorial arrangements as a completely randomized design and lambs were housed and fed as groups. In the trail, performance traits were not affected by the forage source, forage level and forage source x forage level interaction (P>0.05). During the entire period, daily live weight gain, daily dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio (dry matter intake/gain), daily metabolizable energy intake and daily crude protein intake for 15 % alfalfa hay, 30 % alfalfa hay, 15 % corn silage and 30 % corn silage groups were 268, 254, 275, 252 g; 1243, 1261, 1234, 1218 g; 4.64, 4.94, 4.49, 4.84; 3212, 3199, 3210, 3082 kcal and 188, 181,189, 182 g, respectively.

Özet

Bu deneme, kaba yem kaynağı (kuru yonca otu veya mısır silajı) ve seviyesinin (kuru maddede % 15 veya % 30) kuzuların besi performansına etkisini araştırmak amacı ile yapılmıştır. Elli altı gün süren bu çalışmada, yaklaşık 3.5-4 aylık yaşta ve besi başı canlı ağırlıkları 30-32 kg olan 80 baş Konya Merinosu erkek kuzu kullanılmıştır. Deneme tesadüf parsellerinde 2x2 faktöriyel deneme planına uygun olarak yapılmış, kuzular gruplar halinde barındırılmış ve beslenmişlerdir. Denemede, kaba yem kaynağı, kaba yem seviyesi ve kaba yem kaynağı x kaba yem seviyesi interaksiyonunun performans özellikleri üzerine önemli bir etkisi olmamıştır (P>0.05). Tüm besi döneminde, günlük ortalama canlı ağırlık artışı, günlük ortalama kuru madde tüketimi, yem değerlendirme katsayısı (kuru madde tüketimi/canlı ağırlık artışı), günlük metabolik enerji tüketimi ve günlük ham protein tüketimi % 15 kuru yonca otu, % 30 kuru yonca otu, % 15 mısır silajı ve % 30 mısır silajı içeren rasyonlarla beslenen kuzularda sırasıyla; 268, 254, 275, 252 g; 1243, 1261, 1234, 1218 g; 4.64, 4.94, 4.49, 4.84; 3212, 3199, 3210, 3082 kcal ve 188, 181, 189, 182 g olarak bulunmuştur.
