Abstract:
Using of 15 local Awassi lambs, 3 to 4 months old, to study the effect of adding pomegranate juice waste to the concentrated diet. The lambs were divided into three groups equally at random. The first group was considered a control group and was fed a concentrated diet with an amount of 3% of body weight in addition to green fodder, and the second group (2% PSbP). They were fed the same diet as before, with the addition of 2% of pomegranate seed by product (PSbP) with concentration diet, while 5% of pomegranate seed by product (5% PSbP) was added to the concentration diet of the third group, and the following criteria were studied (final body weight, lamb growth curve, economic feasibility of fattening, troponin concentration, and liver function), and the results showed that there was a significant positive effect of the additives on body weight, the growth curve, the economic feasibility of fattening and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) Concentration in the 2ed and 3rd groups compared to the control group, while there was no significant effect of the treatment on liver function.
