Abstract
Twenty-seven -5- month old male Barki lambs weighing 28.5 7~3. 18 kg and
twenty-seven -4- mon!l\ desert male kids wei{jhiog 18.13~ 1.56 kg were reared in
shaded pans at Bedouins premises where Acacia saligna, barley aod beans are
available at EI-Kasr, (MalrOah Government).
The objectives or this study were to Include the relatively available feed
resources In replacement of feed concentrate mixture (CFM) and ciovsr hay In the
faHening diets o( lambs and kids.
Animals within each species ware divided Into three equal groups and were
assigned at random to receive one of three dlelary treatments. The cootrct group
received Ina traditional faltenlng diet composed of berseem hay and CFM. Barey
grains and small amount of bean seeds repjaced CFM in diet 2, wl'lile Acacia replaced
berseern hay and barley grains ana bean seeds replaced CFM in die I J.
