Abstract
A total of 21 Najdi male lambs were used to evaluate inclusion of discarded dates in lambs’ diets. Experimental diets are presented in two levels 15 and 30% to replace commercial concentrate mixture. The results showed that daily feed intake was significantly (p 0.05) between the treatment groups. The highest averages of daily gain and final weight were attained by 30% group which is significantly (p 0.05) from both other groups. Carcass components showed no significant differences between the treatments except for liver and lungs and trachea. The results revealed that feeding lamb on 30% discarded date was associated with improving meat quality traits as juiciness, flavor and general acceptability.
