چکیده مقاله :
Effect of dietary treatment levels on body linear measurements of growing Yankasa rams (Ovis aries) fed sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)Moench stover supplemented with graded levels of dried poultry dropping based diets was assessed using thirty growing Yankasa rams (Ovis aries) consisting of five treatments (T1-T5). Each treatment consisted of three replicates with two animals per replicate. T1: were rams fed with 0% dried poultry droppings based diet (DPDBD), T2: with 20 % DPDBD, T3: with 40 % DPDBD, T4: with 60 % DPDBD and T5: with 80% DPDBD. Significant (P<0.05) differences were observed amongst the treatments for body length, height at wither, chest girth, fore leg length, ear length, neck length and face length. Hind leg length, horn length, poll distance, neck circumference, tail length and horn base circumference varied non-significantly. The highest correlation coefficient was observed between horn base circumference and poll distance (r=0.990) followed by neck circumference and height at wither (r=0.980). Therefore it was concluded that horn base circumference, poll distance, neck circumference and height at wither were highly influenced by the dietary treatment levels in the present study.
اثر سطوح مختلف جیره بر اندازهگیریهای خطی بدنی قوچهای یانکاسا (Ovis aries) که با ذرت خوشهای بخار (Sorghum bicolor) داده شده همراه با سطوح درجهبندی شده مدفوع خشک شده طیور افزوده شده به جیره پایه بررسی شد. از 30 قوچ یانکاسا (Ovis aries) در قالب 5 تیمار (T1 تا T5) استفاده شد. هر تیمار شامل سه تکرار با دو حیوان به ازای هر تکرار بود. T1: قوچهای تغذیه شده با صفر درصد مدفوع خشک شده طیور در جیره پایه (DPDBD)، T2: با 20 درصد DPDBD، T3: با 40 درصد DPDBD، T4: با 60 درصد DPDBD و T5: با 80 درصد DPDBD. تفاوتهای معنیداری بین تیمارها از نظر طول بدن، ارتفاع جدوگاه، دور سینه، ارتفاع پاهای جلویی، طول گوش، طول گردن و طول صورت دیده شد (05/0>P). طول پاهای عقبی، طول شاخ، فاصله شاخها، دور گردن، طول دُم و دور پایه شاخ تفاوت معنیداری در بین تیمارها نداشتند. بیشترین ضریب همبستگی بین دور پایه شاخ و فاصله شاخها مشاهده شد (9990/0=r) و پس از آن همبستگی دور گردن و ارتفاع جدوگاه در رتبه دوم قرار داشت (980/0=r). بنابراین چنین نتیجهگیری میشود که در تحقیق حاضر، صفات دور پایه شاخ، فاصله شاخها، دور گردن و ارتفاع جدوگاه بیشترین تأثیر را از سطوح تیمارهای جیرهای پذیرفتهاند.
