This work was conducted with the objective to determine the body composition for fat, protein and ash, the net requirements of energy and protein for weight gain, and the requirements of metabolizable protein of growing lambs. Twenty-two male lambs, sired by Texel males, from crossbreed Texel x Ideal dams were used. Four lambs were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment (24 hours after birth) and groups of six lambs were slaughtered at weaning, at 28 and 33 kg of […]
