Forty Najdi ram lambs weighing 26.6±0.3 kg were utilized in this experiment to determine the effects of feed restriction followed by realimentation and body weight at the onset of feed restriction (30 and 36 kg body weights) on performance and carcass characteristics; feeding and restriction levels were ad libitum, 0.75 and 0.60 of the ad libitum intake. All lambs were slaughtered after 14 weeks of experimentation. The results showed that, during the feed restriction phase, average daily gain (ADG) and […]

The objective of this trial was to evaluate the compensatory growth and biometrical measurements on lambs feed restricted or ad libitum fed. In the first of two periods of 60 days, 18 7/8 Ile de France x 1/8 Ideal female lambs were assigned to three treatments in a completely randomized design as follows: 1) no feed restriction (ad libitum fed), 2) 30% of feed restriction or 3) 60% of feed restriction calculated as proportion of the ad libitum fed group […]
