Area of Science:

Animal Science
Nutritional Science
Agricultural Science

Background:

Livestock feeding strategies impact animal health and sustainable productivity.
Feed additives can optimize animal performance and maximize productivity.
Environmental effects of sheep production necessitate improved feeding strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the effects of various feed additives on weaned lamb performance.
To optimize feed efficiency in lambs for meat production in Kuwait.
To evaluate the impact of ammonium chloride, urea, algae, fishmeal, and humic acid on lamb growth and feed intake.

Main Methods:

Investigated effects of ammonium chloride, urea, algae (Spirulina platensis), fishmeal, and humic acid on lamb physical performance.
Measured body weight, length, height, waist length, feed consumption, and feed efficiency.
Utilized six treatment groups with 30 lambs total, including a control group, over 27 months.

Main Results:

Ammonium chloride and fishmeal significantly increased lamb length, height, and waist length.
Feed consumption increased significantly with ammonium chloride, algae, and fishmeal.
Fish meal and ammonium chloride demonstrated the best feed efficiency, followed by urea.

Conclusions:

Fish meal and ammonium chloride notably influenced lamb body performance and feed efficiency.
Urea and algae also showed positive, though lesser, effects on lamb growth and productivity.
Optimizing lamb rations with specific feed additives is crucial for enhanced meat production.
