The experiment involved Awassi lambs aged 5-6 months, with an average weight of 43.1\u00b12.26 kg, randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of 4 males. The trial spanned 75 days, with a 15-day introductory period. Different percentages of Nile flower silage substitution (0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%) were applied. Results revealed that integrating Nile flower silage into the diet of Awassi lambs led to a reduction of feeding costs by 5.3% in the fourth treatment (75% WHS), while maintaining a weight gain rate of 10.62 kg. The third and second treatments also showed reduced feeding costs by 3.5% and 1.8%, respectively, compared to the control group. The third treatment exhibited the lowest cost per kilogram of live weight produced during the 60-day experimental period, amounting to 2982 SYP per kilogram, translating to a 9.8% decrease in meat production costs compared to the control group. Consequently, the study suggests incorporating Nile flower silage into lamb diets up to 75% to improve economic indicators and overall herd health.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Keywords: Nile flower silage, Awassi lambs, economic indicators.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v13n1p2-1.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract:\u00a0 The Scientific Agricultural Research Center in Salamiyah conducted a study in 2019 to evaluate the economic benefits of incorporating Nile flower silage into the diet of Awassi lambs.
