| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to assess the carcass characteristics and meat quality attributes of Sudanese desert male kids fed diets containing different sugar cane tops levels. Twenty seven young desert goat kids less than one year old were purchased from Jabal Awlia local animal market. Then transported to the small ruminant pens at the Faculty of Agricultural Technology and Fish Sciences Elneelain University in Jabal Awlia.These animals were subjected to adaptation period for two weeks, after this period animals were weighed, and divided randomly into 3 groups (A, B, and C, 9 heads/ group) of the same number and weight and each group was separately penned. The goat kids groups were fed these diets for 56 days. three isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets, containing graded levels of sugar cane tops (0%, 10%, and 20%) were formulated. Green fodder (Medicago sativa) was also given at rate of one kg/week/head to avoid vitamin (A) deficiency. | ||
