The objective of this experiment was to verify the effect of weaning age and ewe supplementation on the production of super-young lambs and on the reproductive cycle of dams. Sixty-six Hampshire Down ewes, ranging between 3 and 4 years of age, were kept with their lambs on grass pasture. All lambs were creep fed. The ewes were either supplemented (n=34) or not (n=32) during lactation. The lambs were randomly allocated to four treatments: T1 – weaned from supplemented dams at […]
