In continuation with the previous studies on the blood composition of cattle and sheep in Khartoum province and Western Sudan, the total serum minerals, sodium, potassium and calcium have been determined. The figures are given in tables 1-3. It is evident that the mean albumin content was lower b...

Reports the comparative performance of indigenous Balami and imported Desert Sudanese sheep. The reproductive and growth performances of Balami and Sudanese Desert sheep were studied using 466 lambing record from 147 Balami and 126 Desert Sudanese ewes during 2-year period. The Balami was signifi...

Causes of pre-weaning lamb losses under farm conditions were investigated among the Shugor and Dubasi ecotypes of the Sudan Desert sheep. On average, these losses accounted for 40.5% of the lamb crop, but for the separate ecotypes these figures were 44.3 and 36.7%, respectively, for the Shugor an...
Plain (OAT), 1.4% urea-enriched (EOAT) and 3% themal-ammoniated (NH3OAT) oat grain were fed to South African Mutton Merino ewes as supplementary feed during late pregnancy and lactation, while grazing wheat stubble at 2 ewes/ha during 1986 and 1987. Blood glucose, urea, calcium, magnesium and zin...
A ten-week trail was conducted to assess the nutritive value of molasses urea blocks (MUBs) for feeding sheep in the Sudan. Sixteen adult wethers of the Sudan Desert sheep of 51.8± 0.1 kg average liveweight were used. After a three-week preliminary period, the animals were divided according to li...

The experiment was designed to study birth weight, weaning weight, 18 weeks body weight and 22 weeks body weight of lambs born in El-Huda Sheep Improvement Station. There were differences between male and female lambs for all the ages studied. There was a marked seasonal effect on birth weight. L...

Feedlot performance and carcass quality were investigated on Sudan Desert sheep raised under irrigated conditions in the Gezira area. Average daily gain over the fattening period of 56 days in the feedlot was 237.0±2.0 g. Single born lambs grew faster than twin-born lambs (p
Young Watish lambs grazing berseem grow at 148 and 105 g/day for males & females respectively, over a 20-week period. The provision of various concentrate supplements marginally increased live-weight gains but this practice was not recommended as being of economic value. Hot carcass weight of you...

Osmotic resistance of erythrocyte in hypotonic saline was spectrophotometrically determined in White Fulani cattle, West African Dwarf sheep and goats.Osmotic fragility was found to be highest in goat with maximum resistance occuring at 0.75% and 0.55% sodium chloride solutions. It was lowest in ...
