Genetic correlations for daily gain between ram and ewe lambs fed in feedlot conditions and ram lambs fed in Pinpointer units.
When performance is recorded in automated facilities that measure feed intake of individual lambs that are penned in a group, such as Pinpointer units, a legitimate question is the degree to which daily gain is genetically correlated with daily gain achieved under feedlot conditions. Lambs were from a composite population (1/2 Columbia, 1/4 Suffolk, and 1/4 Hampshire germplasm) and of the F2 or...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters for feed intake, feeding behavior, and daily gain in composite ram lambs.
Our objective was to estimate genetic parameters for feed intake, feeding behavior, and ADG in composite ram lambs ((1/2) Columbia, (1/4) Hampshire, (1/4) Suffolk). Data were collected from 1986 to 1997 on 1,239 ram lambs from approximately 11 to 17 wk of age at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center near Clay Center, NE. Feeding equipment consisted of an elevated pen with an entrance chute that ...
متن کاملEconomic Feasibility of Producing Feedlot Lambs Fed on Sunflower Cake
This study aimed to analyze the economic feasibility of replacing soybean meal by sunflower cake in the diet of lambs. Twenty-eight non-castrated crossbred Suffolk lambs aged four months, with 21 kg average body weight ± 9 kg were used. These animals were distributed by weight category into 3 treatments (10, 20 and 30% dry matter (DM) addition of sunflower cake in replacing soybean meal) and co...
متن کاملEnergy efficiency of growing ram lambs fed concentrate-based diets with different roughage sources.
Poor-quality roughages are widely used as fiber sources in concentrate-based diets for ruminants. Because roughage quality is associated with the efficiency of energy use in forage-based diets, the objective of this study was to determine whether differing the roughage source in concentrate-based diets could change the energy requirements of growing lambs. Eighty-four 1/2 Dorper × 1/2 Santa Inê...
متن کاملPolioencephalomalacia in Lot Fed Lambs
The expansion of export demand for sheep meats has led to a resurgance of interest by producers in short term feedlot systems of fattening for sheep and lambs. Apart from the cost of rations, the incidence of disease and metabolic disorders is an important determinant of profitability. This paper describes a feedlot experiment at Hamilton during which an outbreak of polioencephalomalacia (PEM) ...
