The effect of replacing waste potatoes cooked with barley on ruminal degradation and some blood parameters in lambs fattened Zell

This study was to investigate effect of replacing waste potatoes cooked with barley on ruminal was measured degradation and some blood parameters in lambs fattened Zell. In the first experiment, ruminal degradability of dry matter, crude protein, NDF and ADF Using plastic bag with three fistulated sheep fed Zel maintenance level. Incubation times in rumen were including 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. DM degradability was significantly affected by treatments. In the second experiment, 20 male lambs with an average initial weight of 33±2 kg were fattened in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replicates for 80 days. Treatments included a control diet based on maize silage barley and potatoes cooked without waste treatments containing control diet supplemented with 15, 30 and 45 % of waste potatoes cooked replaced with Barley (based on dry matter), respectively. The results showed that the degradation parameters are not significant differences among treatments. The glucose concentration in the group with the diet containing cooked potato waste was higher than the control group (p
