Effect of Oleandomycin on Fattening and Suckling Lambs1

R. M. Jordan and H. E. Hanke

University of Minnesota, St. Paul

Abstract

Three lamb fattening experiments and four experiments involving suckling lambs were conducted to determine the effect of feeding oleandomycin on average daily gain, feed consumption and feed efficiency.

Five mg. of oleandomycin per lamb daily showed no effect on gain of fattening lambs or feed required per pound of gain. Ten mg. of oleandomycin increased average daily gain about 15% and feed efficiency about 20%. Oleandomycin did not give fattening lambs complete protection against enterotoxemia.

Oleandomycin increased average daily gain of suckling lambs in all four experiments and increased feed consumption in three. It did not appear to give any protection against urinary calculi in young suckling lambs.
