Is it Possible to Feed Nile Tilapia the Diets Containing Wastes of Opuntia ficus-indica?
An indoor feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing diet's corn by meals of fruit skin and leaves of Teen Barshomy (Teen Shoky) "Opuntia ficus-indica" on productive performance of all-males mono-sex Nile tilapia, Oreochromis nilotucus (17 g initial body weight and a total length of 9.2 cm). Ten glass aquaria (70 x 35 x 40cm) were stocked with 10 fish / aquarium. The feeding trial lasted for 75 days at a daily feeding rate 3% of the actual biomass. Five experimental diets were formulated to replace 25 and 50% of dietary corn by fig skins and fig leaves in diets (D) No. 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively besides the control one (diet No. 1). All experimental diets were formulated and pelleted into sinking diets with an average pellets diameter and length of 2mm and 1 cm, respectively. Diets were offered to fish 6 days a week at 2 meals (8 am and 2 pm) daily. The obtained results revealed no changes in the rearing water quality criteria. Fig skin and leaves are to some extent chemically similar, but it seems that the fig skin may be more nutritious than the leaves. The replacement affected the chemical composition of the experimental diets. The dietary inclusion of fig wastes decreased the feed consumption of the experimental diets than the control, improved (P≤0.05) each of final body weight (FBW), total body gain (TBG), daily body gain (DBG), specific growth rate (SGR), relative growth rate (RGR), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) as well as whole fish body composition. Thus, it is possible to feed mono-sex Nile tilapia the diets containing fig wastes as replacers for dietary corn without adversely effects on productive performance parameters of fish.

Productive Performance, some Rumen Parameters and Blood Profiele of Zaraibi does Fed Rations Containing Sesbania Sesban Seeds a New and High Source of Protein during Late Pregnancy and Suckling Periods
This work was carried out to investigate the effect of using Sesbanialseeds (SS) (treated and untreated) to partially substitute concentrate feed mixture (CFM) protein in rations of pregnant goats during the late pregnancy and suckling periods and its influence on production performance of Zaraibi does and their new born kids. The impact on some metabolic parameters (rumen and blood) as well as economic efficiency was also tested. Twentylfive Zaraibi does inlthe 2th, 3nd and 4th seasonslof lactationl (weighing on averagel35.88 kg) werelused. Thelanimals wereldivided accordinglto theirlbody weightlinto five similarlgroups (5 each), tolstudy effectlof usingl Sesbanialseeds las alsource oflprotein atllevels of 0.0% (G1), 10% (G2) and 20% (G3) from CFM protein. Sesbanialseeds wereltreated (TSS) bylsocking and roasting and used at the same levels (10 and 20%) in G4 and G5, respectively. The obtained results showed that the daily dry matter intake tended to decrease with increasing level of Sesbanialseeds in goats' rations. The same trend wasiobservedlwith treated Sesbanialseeds (TSS). The clear decrease in DM intake as g/h and g/kgw0.75 with increasing level of Sesbanialseeds even after being treatedlmight indicate thatlsome anti-nutrional factors lremained in the seeds. On thelother hand, the daily DMlintake expressedlas BW% and g/kg w 0.75 duringlsuckling periodlwas higherlthan that consumedlduring the latelpregnancy periodlin allltreatments. Thislmay belattributed tolthe increased rumenlsize of thelanimals afterlparturition andlbeing freelof the gravedluterus stresslon thelrumen. Inlthe sametime, thelhighest valuelof waterlconsumption as l/h, ml/kgw0.75andlml/gDM intakelwas recorded with G5 thenlG4;whereas, thellowest valuelwas found in G1. Theleffect of theltested experimental rationslon both pH valueland ammonia-N concentrationslwas notlsignificant withleach samplingltime.

Accordingly, out putlmeasured as kilogramslproduced perldoe was betterlwith G5 followed lby G4 and lastlylthe G1.

Effect of Dietary Garlic Powder and Feeding Systems on Productive Performance of Broiler Chickens
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplemented diets with garlic powder as a natural growth promoter and feeding systems on productive performance of broiler chicks. A total number of five hundred one day cobb broiler chicks of a nearly similar body weight were used in this study Chicks were randomly divided into equal ten experimental groups, each group of 50 chick. Birds of the 1ˢᵗ group were fed ad-libitum (ADL) on starter and grower basal diets and considered as a control group, chicks of the 2ⁿᵈ, 3 ͬ ͩ and 4 ͭ ͪ group were fed basal diets supplemented with GP at a level of 0 mg/kg diet with feeding systems of provided chicks feed every day except for 24-hrs removal periods at 7 and 14 days of age (SKD2), at 7,14,21,and 28 days of age (SKD4) and at 7,14,21,28,35,and 42 days of age (SKD6) for the 2ⁿᵈ, 3 ͬ ͩ and 4 ͭ ͪgroup, respectively, chicks of the 5 ͭ ͪ , 6 ͭ ͪ and 7 ͭ ͪ groups were fed basal diets supplemented with garlic powder at a level of 100 mg/kg diet with feeding systems of (SKD2) , (SKD4) and (SKD6), respectively. While, chicks of the 8 ͭ ͪ , 9 ͭ ͪ and 10 ͭ ͪ groups were fed basal diets supplemented with garlic powder at a level of 200 mg/kg diet with feeding systems of (SKD2), (SKD4) and (SKD6), respectively. Results obtained showed that chicks of control group (ADL) showed the highest LBW, BWG, GR and FI followed by chicks exposed to SKD2, SKD4 and SKD6, respectively. Chicks exposed to SKD6 showed the best feed conversion, followed by chicks exposed to SKD4, SKD2 and control group (ADL), respectively during the period from 0-6 weeks of bird's age. The lowest averages of mortality rate were observed in control group (ADL), then by birds fed diet supplemented with garlic powder at a level of 200 and 100 mg/kg diet, respectively. Significant variations were found on absolute and relative weights of carcass, giblets and total edible meat due to treatments applied, except absolute weight of carcass and total edible parts due to GP levels only. Chicks fed diet supplemented with GP at levels of 200, 100and 0mg/kg diet, respectively significantly increased protein and ash percentage and significantly decreased moisture percentage of meat samples. Chicks exposed to SKD6 and SKD4 had significantly the highest averages of overall score of sensory characterizations, followed by chicks exposed to SKD2 and the control group, respectively. It could be recommended that SKD4, SKD2 and SKD6 and the interaction between G0 and each of SKD4 or SKD6, respectively seemed to be adequate to achive the favorable results and its being recommended from the economic point of view
