To explore the effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on vegetation cover changes in Northern, Middle, and Eastern Jordan Badia rangelands, Landsat-8 (Operational Land Imager [OLI]) images were downloaded and processed to attain surface reflectance data for March and July 2018–2020. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was then derived from OLI-images, where the total area covered with water, bare soil, scattered vegetation, dense grasses and shrubs, and dense forests were estimated. Across the study period, 2019 had the highest rainfall (195 mm) and temperature (21.7 °C), while the lowest rainfall was recorded in 2018 (154 mm). The Northern Badia showed a consistently larger area of dense vegetation on average (407.4 km2) compared to the Eastern (149.3km2), and Middle (55.2 km2) Badia. The total area covered with scattered vegetation in 2020 was higher than in 2019 and 2018 across the years and studied area, except in Middle Badia. Vegetation cover classes were inconsistent for Middle Badia in March, scattered vegetation was higher in 2019 compared to 2020. However, the total area covered with vegetation in July was lower than in March across the years and studied area. The curfew allowed the regeneration of shrubs and grasses in the study area, which helped in restoring the rangeland vegetation. COVID-19 lockdown served as a conservation grazing technique and provided a real case of restoring the degraded rangeland cover through managed grazing.
An experiment was conducted to indicate the effect of feeding high energy diet for 45 days on male and female Awassi lambs’ performance, carcass percentage, and cost of production. A total of twenty four Awassi lambs (12 males, and 12 females) averaging 18.2±0.70 kg body weight were used. Lambs were assigned randomly to two different groups (groups A and B); each group had twelve lambs (6 males and 6 females) and fed two different diets (low energy diet and high energy diet). Feed intake, total gain, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio was calculated and body measurements (height and length) were recorded. Lambs were slaughtered at the end of experiment, to evaluate carcass percentage. Cost of production was calculated based on ingredients’ price at the time of the experiment. Final body weight, weight gain, and average daily gain were greater (p < 0.05); while feed conversion ratio was lower (p < 0.05) for lambs fed high energy diet than lambs fed low energy diet. Body length differences measured to be greater (p < 0.05) for male lambs fed high energy diet than other lambs. Fasted weight, hot carcass weight, and dressing percentage were higher (p < 0.05) for lambs fed the high energy diet. Cost of gain was lower (p < 0.05) for lambs in group B compared to lambs in group A. Therefore, the economical efficiency in this experiment was greater for lambs fed high energy diet than lambs fed the control diet during 45 days fattening period.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of using corn silage (SILAGE) or wheat hay (HAY) as a source of forage on nursing performance of Awassi ewes. Forty ewes (body weight; BW = 43.5 ± 1.58 kg) and their single lambs (BW = 6.3 ± 0.28 kg) were randomly assigned to two diets; SILAGE vs. HAY (four pens/diet; five ewes/pen). Concentrate feeding was restricted to 1.1 kg dry matter (DM)/ewe/d, whereas forage was offered ad libitum. The study lasted for 56 d (7 d of adaptation and 49 d of data collection). Ewes and lambs were weighed after the adaptation period and at the end of the study. Milk yield and blood samples were collected on days 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44 and 51. Intakes of forage and total DM were greater (P<0.05) in SILAGE-fed ewes compared to those fed HAY. Additionally, intakes of crude protein, ether extract and net energy were also greater (P≤0.002) in the SILAGE group. However, neutral and acid detergent fiber intakes were greater (P=0.022) in the HAY than in the SILAGE group. Average daily gain was greater (P=0.032) in the SILAGE than the HAY group. Circulating glucose concentration was greater (P=0.023) in the SILAGE treatment compared to the HAY group, while serum urea nitrogen was similar (P=0.914) in both groups. Milk, total milk solids, protein and fat yields were greater (P<0.05) in the SILAGE than in the HAY group. Dietary replacement of wheat hay with corn silage to early lactating Awassi ewes improved feed intake, yields of milk and milk components, ewe body weight, and lamb average daily gain.
Nutrient intake, diet digestibility, N balance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality were evaluated in Awassi lambs fed different levels of sesame meal (SM). Twenty-seven Awassi lambs of similar weight (BW = 18.8 ± 0.74 kg) and age (65 ± 1.09 days) were equally divided into three treatments and fed individually high concentrate diets for 60 days. Group one served as a control and did not receive SM (SM0). Group two (SM8) and three (SM16) received 8 and 16% SM, respectively. Intakes of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), and crude protein (CP) were highest (P < 0.05) for the lambs fed the SM8 followed by the SM0 and SM16 diets, respectively. Whereas, intake of ether extracts (EE) was greater for SM16 followed by the SM8 and SM0. Intake of metabolizable energy (ME) was greater (P < 0.05) for SM8 than SM0 and SM16 treatments. Final weight and average daily gain (ADG) were greater (P < 0.05) for SM8 than for both the SM0 and SM16 diets. All groups had similar feed conversion ratio; nevertheless production cost was lower (P < 0.05) for SM8 and SM16 compared to SM0 diet. Digestibility of DM, OM, CP, and EE and N retention were similar among all treatment diets. Fasting live weight was greater (P < 0.05) for lambs fed SM8 diet than for lambs fed SM0 and SM16 diets. Dressing percentage was greater (P < 0.05) for SM0 diet when compared to SM8 and SM16 diets. Lungs and trachea weights were higher (P < 0.05) in lambs fed SM8 diet than SM0 and SM16 diets. Loin weight was greater (P < 0.05) in lambs fed SM8 diet compared to SM0 and SM16 diets. Lambs receiving the SM8 and SM16 diets had greater (P < 0.05) total percentage in loin than the SM0 diet. No differences were observed in carcass and longissimus muscle linear dimensions, fat measurements, and meat quality characteristics among the treatment diets. It is concluded that sesame meal could replace 8% of soybean meal in the diet without any detrimental effect on lamb growth and meat quality, thus reduces feeding cost.
Twenty nursing Awassi ewes (BW=50±2.35 kg, age=4.5±1.2 years) with their lambs were used to evaluate the effects of feeding calcium salts in lactation diets on performance and pre-weaning growth of their lambs. Treatments were 0% calcium salts (CON) or 5% calcium salts (FAT). At the end of the study, a digestibilityexperiment was performed. Milk yield was greater (P< 0.05) for ewes fed the FAT diet than the CON diet. Milk composition was similar (P>0.05) between diets. However, milk energy value (kcal/day) tended to be greater (P=0.07) for the FAT diet than the CON diet. Concentrations of milk C18:1c9 and C20:0 were greater (P<0.05) in ewes fed the FAT diet than the CON diet. However, concentration of trans-10, cis-12 CLA was lower (P=0.05) in the FAT diet than in the CON diet. No differences in feed intake and body weight change were detected between diets. Digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber were similar (P>0.05) for diets. For lambs, weaning weight was not affected by treatments. However, average dailygain and total gain were greater (P=0.053) for the FAT diet than the CON diet. Results suggest that supplementing lactating ewes with calcium salts at the beginning of lactation phase improves daily milk yield of ewes and pre-weaning growth of their lambs with no major negative impact on feed intake and digestibility.
