Abstract

In this study, fattening performances, feed consumption and feed efficiency characteristics of Kangal Akka-raman male lambs were investigated in order to compare the classical fattening with concentrated feed and the fatten-ing with sainfoin roughage. In the study, a total of 48 Akkaraman male lambs were used and the fattening lasted 56 days. Experimental groups were made with sainfoin harvested at the control, 10% flowering (10Ç), 50% flowering (50Ç) and seedpod (MB) periods; Live weights at the beginning and end of fattening were determined. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of body weights at the end and the beginning of fattening (P>0.05). The highest daily body weight gains in groups (Control, 10Ç, 50Ç and MB) were found in group 10Ç. Howev-er, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of daily live weight gain (P
