Investigate the Role of Rye Nutrition in the Weight Production of Turkish Sheep.

The main objectives of this study were to use rye grain in the diet of Turkish sheep as a substitute for barley grain and to understand the biological value of rye in feeding lambs and weight gain. Animals were divided into 3 experimental groups with 3 replicates in each group. Control group (T1) received standard diet with barely grain while groups T2 and T3 fed on diets with substation of 20 and 30% barely grain by rye grain. The results of the study showed that lambs fed on 20% rye seeds have a significant higher weight gain as a results of better feed intake and feed conversion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
