Popis: Twenty four Barki lambs with an average body weight of 20.7 ± 0.17 kg were used in a complete randomized design to evaluate the effects of replacing clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L) hay as a traditional basal diet (C) with moringa tree stalks (MS) treated with fungi (Trichoderma reesei) (MF) and yeast (Saccharomyces cervisiae) (MY) under solid-state fermentation on nitrogen and water metabolism, rumen fermentation and economic efficiency of feeds. Lambs were divided into three groups each with eight lambs depending on their live weight. Concentrate feed mixture was similar for all groups and was offered at 2% of live weight with the basal roughage offered ad libitum. The results show that the rations had significant effects (P
