Lupin Grain as a Supplement to Sheep Grazing Cereal Stubble

Two experiments tested the use of lupin grain as a supplement for weaners grazing wheat stubble. The control groups in both trials received no supplement until liveweights dropped to 22 kg and then lupins were fed. In 1984 two lick-blocks were tested; the Rumevite "Sheep and Cattle" block and the ICI "Ultrapro 30" block. Liveweight changes of animals on the control (5 weeks), Rumevite block, IC...

Effects of supplementary feeding on growth and carcass characteristics of fat-tailed lambs grazing cereal stubble

Despite a shortage of animal feed in Iran, cereal stubble is often underutilized due to agro-economic reasons. On the other hand, lambs fed with a conventional fattening ration deposit a considerable amount of fat; therefore, this experiment was conducted aimed at better utilization of cereal stubble and reducing the fat content of lamb carcasses. Fat-tailed Mehraban and Ghezel ram lambs were p...

The Effect of Limestone Added to Oat Grain on the Growth of Young Sheep Grazing Wheat Stubble

Fifty Merino weaner sheep grazing on a wheat stubble at Wongan Hills were fed ad lib. either oat grain mixed with limestone (2% w/w) or just oat grain during the summer and autumn of 1985. The addition of limestone to the oat supplement increased the growth of the sheep from 39 g/day to 83 g/day (P<O.OOl) during the first 70 days of feeding. A summer thunderstorm resulted in a brief germination...

Effects of shearing and supplemental level on intake of dry ewes grazing on barley stubble.

Twenty-eight Comisana dry ewes were utilised to evaluate the effect of shearing (14 shorn and 14 unshorn ewes) and supplemental level (100 and 300g of concentrate) on intake of barley stubble. Shorn ewes showed a small increase in dry matter intake (at the end of August: 1.32 vs. 1.10kg/day; p<0.01). Intake of barley stubble decreased as supplement level increased (mean: 1.18 vs. 1.29; p<0.01)....
