professor, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of agriculture, Ramin University, Ahvaz- Iran J. Fayazi, Assistant
professor, Department of Animal Science, Faculty of agriculture, Ramin University, Ahvaz- Iran. In order to investigate the
effect of barely (Ba) replacement with sugar beet pulp (SBP) on performance and carcass characteristics of Moghani male
lambs, an experiment was done with completely randomize design with 5 dietary treatment containing different levels of
replacement (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent), using 30 lambs with average initial weight and age of 30 ± 2 kg and 5 ± 0.12
months respectively. The duration of the experiment was 70 days. Rations were formulated according to NRC feed standards
(1985). The average daily dry matter intake of rations containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% sugar beet pulp (rations 1 to 5) were
1.38, 1.48, 1.27, 1.36 and 1.41 kg respectively. There were no significant differences between figures. The average daily
gains for the treatments 1 to 5 were 323,308,303,313 and 301gr and feed conversion ratios were 3.85, 4.94, 4.54, 4.26 and
4.75 respectively. There were no significant differences between the data on carcass characteristics. Total carcass fat percent
in treatment 100 percent sugar beet pulp was higher than 100 percent barley (control group). Generally, replacement barely
with 75% beet pulp produced best performance

A chick bioassay with chemically defined amino acid (AA) diets was conducted to compare four different AA profiles: the
NRC (1994), Feed stuff, Rhone Poulenc Animal Nutrition (RPAN) and Illinois Ideal Chick Protein (IICP) AA profiles. This
battery study involved male and female chicks during grower (21 to 42 days of age) period. Indispensable AAs were rationed
to lysine according to requirement ratios presented in the four AA profiles. Digestible lysine set 0.85 and 0.78 % of diet for
male and female, respectively. All diets were kept isonitrogenous (2.28 % N) by varying levels of L-glutamic acid. All diets
were checked to have at least 0.3 % of proline and 0.6 % of glycine. All Diets contained 3200 kcal ME/kg and a positive
control diet were used according to NRC (1994) recommendation. Four battery pens of five chicks were fed one of four
different profiles or positive control diet in both sexes. Weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), breast meat,
abdominal fat and liver weight measured at day 42 posthatch. Results indicate that in male chicks, weight gain and FCR with
IICP profile were significantly better than all other profiles. In female chicks weight gain and FCR with IICP profile were
significantly better than RPAN and NRC (1994) profile, but not from Feedstuff profile. Results of this experiment suggest
that ideal ratio of sulfur AA in NRC (1994) profile is probably insufficient for supporting maximum performance.

In order to determine the effects of substitution of barley grain with dried citrus pulp (DCP) on eight lactating Holstein cows
with average body weight of 550 ± 50 kg and 75 ± 15 days in milk were allocated to 4 dietary treatments, which were diet;
the control with 0% dried citrus pulp (DCP) and 15% barley grain, diet 2, 3 and 4 containing 5, 10 and 15% DCP and 10, 5
and 0% barley grain respectively. Each period lasted for 21 days including 14 days adaptation and 7 days sample collection.
Dry matter intake (DMI) body was not affected by DCP substitution, although, the DMI tended to decrease with increasing
level of DCP. Results showed that increasing levels of DCP in diets had no significant effect on apparent digestibility, blood
urea N and glucose, milk yield and composition and ruminal N-NH3, but ruminal pH was significantly lower for cows fed T1
and T2 compare to T3 and T4. The ruminal N-NH3 of diets 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 20.08, 19.96, 19.53 and 19.01 mg/dl and the
ruminal pH 6.45, 6.52, 6.69 and 6.71 respectively. The time spent eating; ruminating and total chewing activities were not
influenced different treatments. It was concluded that DCP can be substituted by barley grain up to 15% without any alters
affects on dairy cow production performances

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different inclusion rates and degree of saturation of fat sources on
true metabolizable energy corrected to zero nitrogen retention ( TMEn) values in broiler chickens at 42 days of age. Animal
fat and cotton seed oil were blended in the proportions of: 0.25:0.75 , 0.50:0.50 , 0.75:0.25. The three blends together with
the animal fat and cotton seed oil were each added at 0, 3, 6 and 9 percent to a basal diet. Fats were analyzed for most
chemical parameters (fatty acid profile, gross energy, dry matter, peroxid value, acid value, sophonification index, iodin
index, unsophonification index). The experimental diets were evaluated for TMEn according to Sibbald method. 136 male
broiler chicks were selected at 42 days of age and randomely distributed in 68 cages. Each treatment had 4 replicates of 2
birds each. There wasn't any significant deviation from linearity in the response of dietary TMEn to added fat. Synergism , as
demonstrated by a higher determined than calculated TMEn values, was detected with fat blends. For all fats, the best
regression equation can be achieved from the 3 following parameters: true dry matter digestibility, oleic acid level and gross
energy.

The genotypes for beta-lactoglobulin (Blg) and calpastatin (Cast) were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and
restriction enzyme digestion and genotyped for calpain (Capn) by PCR-SSCP method in a native Iranian breed sheep, Kordi.
Blood samples were collected from 100 pure bred Kordi sheep from Kordi breeding station located in Shirvan, Mashhad. The
extraction of genomic DNA was based on Guanidin Thiocyanate-Silica gel method. After PCR reaction, amplicons were
digested with restriction enzymes MspI and RsaI for beta-lactoglobulin and calpastatin genes, respectively. The betalactoglobulin
locus had 3 genotypes with frequencies of 0.24, 0.54 and 0.22 for AA, AB and BB, respectively; calpastatin
genotypes had 2 genotypes with frequencies of 0.76 and 0.24 for MM and MN genotypes, respectively. Calpain genotypes
were analyzed with SSCP method, which was 2 genotypes with frequencies of 0.92 and 0.08 for AA and AB, respectively.
Heterozygosity value for beta-lactoglobulin locus was 50% and for calpastatin and calpain loci was very low (21% and 8%
respectively). χ2 test confirmed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for three loci in this population. These data provide evidence
that Iranian’s Kordi sheep breed have a variability, which opens interesting prospects for future selection programs,
especially marker-assistant selection between different genotypes of different locus and milk and chess characteristics, gain
and meat traits and also for preservation strategies.

To estimate the grazing capacity in each region it is necessary to determine animal requirement based on forage quality and
animal unit weight of dominant sheep breed. In present study animal unit weight of Farahani sheep breed was investigated.
Two herds were selected. Thirty animals including 15 three and four years' old ewes, 5 nine months old lambs, 5 six months
old lambs, 5 three and four years old rams were weighed in lowland and highland. The weight of animal unit obtained 42 kg
and animal unit equivalent for rams, 9 and 6 months old lambs were estimated 1.48, 0.6, and 0.52 respectively. Two sex of
animals (ewes and rams) and two herds were significantly differed in weight (p < 0.05). For determination of forage quality 5
sample from each species that each was made from 5 individual plants collected from each species. Crude protein, acid
detergent fiber, dry matter digestibility and metabolisable energy were estimated for 7 species from highland and 10 species
from lowlands. According to Tukey test, forage quality significantly differed between species (p < 0.05). This shows that
animal requirement should be determined based on forage quality of available forage to animals. Requirement of animal
grazing on rangeland is more than house keeping animals. So in this research considering environmental conditions and
distances that animal had to walk every day %25 was added to animal requirement calculated using either NRC tables or
MAFF equation. The result showed that animal requirement calculated using either NRC tables or MAFF equation were 9.6
and 7.5 MJ metabolisable energy respectively and based on forage quality according to NRC tables and MAFF equation were
1.94 and 1.52 Kg dry matter respectively.

In order to investigate the effect of processing type (whole straw bale processing or opened straw bale processing with urea)
on diet digestibility, economical and productive parameters in feedlot cattle, 18 Holstein bull with average body weight
224.72 ± 20.45 kg were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 replicate. Treatments 1, 2 and 3
contained 40% typical straw, 40% whole straw bale processed with 5% urea (WSBP) and 40% opened straw bale processed
with 5% urea (OSBP), respectively. The average in vitro digestibility of DM (32.7, 46.9 and 46.5%, respectively for
treatments 1 to 3) and OM (30.5, 47.0 and 45.8%, respectively for treatments 1 to 3) was not significant between WSBP and
OSBP, but was significant between treated and typical straw. The average daily gain (698, 881 and 882 g/d, respectively for
treatments 1 to 3) and daily DMI (8.8, 10.2 10.0 kg/d, respectively for treatments 1 to 3) were significantly higher for WSBP
and OSBP compared to typical straw. The cost price of consumed diet for 1 kilogram weight gain was 910 Rials lower for
WSBP than typical straw. Also, the time require to achieve 200 kg weight gain reduced to approximately 2 month. The
results of present study showed that processing of WSB can reduce needed time and labour cost, and in comparison with
typical straw time required for achieving weight gain reduced.

OarJMP29, OarJMP58, BM1824) has been used to assess the distribution of genetic variation in six Iranian sheep breeds
(Sanjabi, Kabude Shiraz, Turki Ghashghaii, Lori, Bakhtiyari and Arabi). From each breed 45 sheep randomly were selected
and their blood samples were collected individually. The DNA of samples were extracted by modified salting-out method.
The genomic DNA amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All locus per population combinations were at
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium except MAF214 for Kabude Shiraz and BM1824, MAF214 and MCM527 for Sanjabi. All loci
were found to be polymorphic in the six sheep breeds, and generated a total of 73 loci across the 10 locus from the 270
individuals analyzed. There was substantial genetic variation within sheep breeds, with average heterozygosity range of 0.747
to 0.792 based on expected hetrozygosity. The confidence intervals for the gene diversity at each location indicate that no
significant difference between breeds hetrozygosity. The results indicated that genetic differences between the breeds
explained 8% of the total genetic variation and the remaining 92% was due to differences among individuals within the
breeds.

In this study genetic diversity of eight Iranian sheep breeds including; Lori Bakhtiari, Makuei, Moghani, Taleshi, Shal, Zandi,
Naeini and Kalakui was studied by using AFLP method. A total of 309 individuals were analysed that produced 121 clear
polymorphic bands. The average of heterozygosity within breed (HS) was high and equal to 0.2795± 0.0255. Also, the
average heterozygosity between breeds (Dst) was very low and equal to 0.0184. The maximum and minimum genetic
distance was obtained between Lori Bakhtiari and Makuei (0.0151) and between Lori Bakhtiari and Taleshi (0.0486)
respectively. Gene flow value (Nm) was very high and estimated to 7.5685. The UPGMA tree based on Jacard genetic cluster
similarity index revealed association among sheep breeds. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) demonstrated that different
sheep breeds tend to group together. The phylogenetic tree based on Nei's Unbiased Measures of Genetic Identity and
Genetic distance (1978) and UPGMA algorithm indicated a relatively agreement with biogeographical distance and
phenotypic characteristics of breeds and may reflect undocumented migrations, gen flows and identify an original genetic
resource. In this study no breed specific markers identified.
