Effect of Grain Feeding the Ewe and Lamb on Subsequent Lamb Growth

R. M. Jordan and C. E. Gates1

University of Minnesota, St. Paul

Abstract

The experiments with suckling lambs were conducted to determine the effect of grain feeding the ewe and/or creep feeding the lambs on lamb gains. Both creep feeding the lambs and grain feeding the lactating ewes increased lamb gains significantly.

The treatments ranked in descending order with respect to weight gains as follows: (1) the combination of grain feeding of the ewes and creep feeding of the lambs; (2) no grain feeding plus creep feeding; (3) grain feeding and no creep feeding; (4) no grain feeding and no creep feeding. A complete pelleted creep feed fed in Experiment 2 resulted in significantly faster gains than a grain-long hay creep feed fed in Experiment 1.
