Evaluation of the effect of treated maize stalklage with urea and molasses in fattening performance of Turky-Ghashghaii male lambs

This Experiment was carried out to determine the effects of urea and molasses -treated Corn Single Crosses SC 704 Stalklage in fattening performance of Turky-Ghashghaii male lamb. At first, corn residues were gatherd after harvesting of corn grain by Cambine method and processed with urea and molasses. Then, evaluates its chemical composition and in vivo apparent digestibility. The Corn Stalklage treated and untreated were included in the ration as to replace zero , 30 and 50% of total forage in a completely randomized design in the ration of fattening lambs. The rations (iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic) were fed to 6 Turky-Ghashghaii ram lambs. Results showed that In vivo digestibility coefficients for DM OM, NDF and ADF had significant differences between treated and non-treated Corn Stalklage.  It seems that according to the results of fattening traits and digestibility, the use of treated corn residues with 4% urea plus 10% molasses with ratios of 50% as total forages in feeding lambs in comparison with other treatments, had a better daily weight gain.
