Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This study has been carried out in the animal field of the College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, for the period 1\/12\/2020 to 1\/3\/2021. Twenty-four male lambs of Arabi breed\u00a0 were randomly distributed to six treatments (4 lambs for each treatment), to investigate the effect of two type of diet (pellet and crushed) with the level of malic acid and the on some production traits such as live weights, total and daily weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency and some of carcass characteristics such as hot carcass, dressing percentage, major cuts (neck, shoulder, rib, loin, leg and fat-tail) as well as carcass waste organs. The treatments were as follows: (T1) crushed condensed diet without the addition of malic acid (0). (T2) crushed condensed diet with the addition of malic acid as 4 g\/kg feed. (T3) crushed condensed diet with added malic acid as 8 g\/kg feed. (T4) without adding malicious acid (0). (T5) pellet feed with added malic acid as a 4 g\/kg feed. (T6) pellet feed with added malic acid for 8 g\/kg feed. The results indicated the pellet diet and \u00a0the level of 4g of malic acid\/kg of feed treatments were a significant increase (P<0.05) in the live body weights, total and daily gain weight, dressing percentage, feed efficiency, hot carcass weight and some weights of cuts compared to crushed diet and of 0g of malic acid\/kg of feed treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n
