Twenty\u2010one multiparous ewes (mean body weight (BW) of 40.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.41\u2009kg), each nursing one lamb (mean BW: 6.22\u2009\u00b1\u20090.16\u2009kg), were randomly assigned to three total mixed rations containing 13.0%, 15.1%, and 17.1% CP on a dry matter (DM) basis, respectively, in a randomized complete block design over a 70\u2010day lactation period. Results indicated a linear increase (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) in milk yield, alongside higher milk fat, protein, and lactose yields, as dietary CP levels rose. Crude protein intake increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) as dietary CP levels elevated. Apparent digestibility of organic matter, CP, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) also increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Diets with 15.1% and 17.1% CP demonstrated higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) CP, NDF, and ADF digestibility compared to the 13.0% CP diet. Nitrogen (N) intake, milk N, urinary N, urea\u2010N, fecal N, and plasma urea concentrations increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) with increasing dietary CP levels. Ewes receiving 17.1% CP excreted higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) amounts of urinary N, urea\u2010N, and fecal N. Ruminal ammonia\u2010N concentrations increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) with dietary CP levels, peaking (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) in ewes on the 17.1% CP diet, followed by those on 15.1% and 13.0% CP diets. Molar proportions of isobutyrate and isovalerate increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05) with higher dietary CP. Microbial protein content increased linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001), attaining higher values with 15.1% and 17.1% CP diets (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.010) compared to 13.0% CP. Lambs final BW and average daily gain (ADG) improved linearly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) as dietary CP levels increased, with 15.1% and 17.1% CP diets yielding superior outcomes over 13.0% CP diet. In conclusion, increasing dietary CP from 13.0% to 17.1% linearly improved digestibility, milk yield, and lamb growth. The 15.1% and 17.1% CP diets enhanced ruminal fermentation, but 17.1% CP maximized nitrogen excretion. Thus, 15.1% CP is recommended to optimize productivity and nutrient utilization in semi\u2010intensive Barki ewe production systems.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.70117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,27]],"date-time":"2026-09-27T18:10:56Z","timestamp":1790532656000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Milk Yield, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and Rumen Fermentation in Barki Ewes, and the Performance of Their Offspring in Response to Increasing Dietary Protein Levels"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5100-8032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim M.","family":"Khattab","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Fish Production, Faculty of Desert and Environmental Agriculture Matrouh University Matrouh Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adel M.","family":"Abdel\u2010Wahed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal and Poultry Nutrition Department Desert Research Center Cairo Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed A.","family":"Aboamer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dairy Science Departement, Food Industries and Nutrition Research Institute National Research Centre Giza Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3191-3526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed F.","family":"Elgandy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Faculty of Environmental Sciences King Abdulaziz University Jeddah Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mayada M.
