The effect of Nigella sativa cake (NSC) (capsules after oil extraction) on growth performance of Ossimi lambs, nutritive values and feed conversion were studied in a feeding trial. The NSC was included at 0, 12.5, 25 and 37.5% of the tested diets replacing concentrate feed mixture (CFM) formulating four dietary treatments. The control diet consisted of 75% CFM + 25% sugar cane bagasse (SCB). Twenty four growing ossimi male lambs of 21 ± 1 kg live body weight were distributed into four similar groups. Each group < br />was fed one of the four different dietary treatments in feeding period which lasted 90 days. Results of digestibility revealed that NSC improved significantly (P≤0.05) organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF) and nitrogen free extract (NFE). Nutritive values followed the same pattern. While, lambs daily gain, feed consumption and feed conversion were not significantly affected. Economical evaluation was in favor of NSC diets especially at 37.5% level.
