Spineless cactus cladode is a viable replacement to barley and maize grains in the feed rations of dromedary camel calves.

Background: No studies determined the use of spineless cactus cladodes in camel diets.

Objectives: The effect of replacing the main energy source in camel diets with fresh spineless cactus cladodes on growth performance was determined. Furthermore, the ability of morphology to predict cladodes yield was determined.

Effect of olive tree leaves and twigs on intake, digestibility, growth performance and blood variables of Shami goats.

The effect of replacing wheat straw and a portion of commercial concentrate with olive twigs and leaves treated with urea and molasses on nutrient digestibility, growth performance and blood variables was determined. Forty-two Shami goat kids (20 ± 2.47 kg live weight and 133 ± 5.
