The Effect of Feeding Diet With Graded Levels of Roselle(Hibiscus Sabdariffa)Seed on Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality of Sudan Desert Lamb.

Roselle (karkadeh, Hibiscus sabdriffa) is drown mainly for the production of calyxes and epicalyxes, which are used as beverages. Roselle seed production is about 90 Lp/acre and the total area cultivated is as 15.000 acres. The present study was conducted to evaluate roselle seed in ruminants feeding. Graded levels of roselle seed (0, 10 and 20%) were incorporated in three diets iso-caloric, iso- nitrogenous diet for lambs. Diet a contained 0% roselle seed while diets B and C contained 10 and 20% roselle seed respectively. There was a significant (P
