Five Sudan desert sheep breeds on an average age of 1-1.2 years were selected for the study. One hundred and fifty (150) pieces of fresh skins from five non-castrated male of Sudan desert breeds were collected from west Sudan (Kordofan state) and east Sudan (Gezira and Butana). The results showed that, Fresh skin weight, elongation, tensile strength , flexibility, cracking and tear load results were significantly affected (P ≥ 0.05) by breed variations. Thickness findings were not significantly affected (P ≥ 0.05) by breed. Moisture, fat and chrome oxide contents findings were significantly affected (P ≥ 0.05) by breed. Whereas, Ash content values were not significantly affected (P ≥ 0.05) by breed variations.","PeriodicalId":12687,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Animal Scientific Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"45-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89845400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oneday old unsexed 200 broiler chicks with an average weight of 40g /bird wereused in an experiment designed as completely randomized design (CRD) with fivetreatments and four replicates. At the beginning of the experiment the chickswere fed a pre-starter ration for one week and then offered five rationsprepared using (WMBM) at 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent. The rations were offeredtwice a day. Chicks were weighed weekly during the experimental period. Thecollected data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results indicatedthat feed intake of broiler chicks increased significantly (P <0.05) withinclusion of WMBM. The chicks consumed 67, 89, 94, 97 and 97 g/day/bird whenthe WMBM constituted 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent in the rations respectively.The final body weight followed the same trend where the groups weighed 1332.5,2130, 2100.6, 1922.5 and 1772.3 g for the birds that consumed rations of 0, 15,30, 45 and 60 percent (WMBM) respectively. Weight gains and feed conversionratio were also significantly (P <0.05) improved.
