| Özet |
| This study was carried out to investigate the effect of artificial lighting (AL) on fattening performance and feeding behaviour of Shami (Damascus) young male goats in comparison to naturally lightened male young goats. Sixteen young male goats fed a diet containing 2500 Kcal metabolic energy (ME) and 160 g crude protein (CP)/kg (on fresh matter basis) were randomly (8 goats per group) distributed into two groups (control, AL). AL animals were subjected to the additional lighting regime during dark period of day (from 19.00 to 07.00) with 2 lamps having 100-watt capacity. Goats were weighed with 14-day time interval for 70 days without any food and water deprivation to monitor their live weight gain. Behavioural observations (eating, ruminating, resting and others-defecation, urinating, drinking, walking, standing, play, etc.) were recorded once a week on Tuesdays at 19.00, 21.00, 23.00, 05.00 and 07.00 … |
