The objective of the experiment was to determine the optimal dose of copper oxide wire particles (COWPs) to reduce infection of Haemonchus contortus in male lambs. Five to six-month-old hair breed lambs were housed on concrete and fed 450 (L; n = 25) or 675 g (H; n = 25) corn/soybean meal supplement and bermudagrass hay. In July, lambs were inoculated with 10,000 L(3) larvae (97% H. contortus; ...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of supplementation of grazing lambs with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) or soybean hulls (SBH) on growth rate and nematode-parasite status. Over the course of four experiments in consecutive years, 312 lambs were grazed on the same four or six paddocks. Grazing lambs were allotted to one of three supplementation treatments...

Effects of partial docking on feedlot performance and body fat characteristics were studied in a fat-tailed sheep breed. Thirty-eight male lambs with an average weight of 4.44 ± 0.48 were randomly divided into two groups. The lambs in one group were partially docked at 3-4 h after birth, using rubber rings, and the lambs in another group remained intact (control). After weaning, 20 male lambs f...

Main aim of this work was to findout the influence probiotic supplementation and suitable dietary protein level in creep feed for optimum growth performance Salt Range lambs. Lambs (n ₌ 16; Age 30±10 days) were chosen divided into four equal groups. Four treatments; diet-1 (CP 18% with no probiotic), diet-2 diet-3 20% noprobiotic) diet-4 probiotic) randomly allocated lambs under Completely Rand...

We conducted experiments to determine whether lambs fed grain prefer foods and solutions containing sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and lasalocid, compounds capable of attenuating acidosis. In Exp. 1, we determined whether lambs fed barley preferred flavored rabbit pellets (RP) containing NaHCO3 and lasalocid. Lambs in two groups (n = 10/group) were fed increasing amounts of barley on d 1 to 12 (30...

in order to investigate the effect of diets contained urea and molasses on fattening performance and blood urea nitrogen (bun) density of male lambs, 72 arabic male lambs were used in a completely randomized design with a 3×4 factorial experiment, for 90 days. the experimental diets contained; 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% of urea each with 0, 7.5 and 15% of molasses, in isoprotein and isocalaric diets. t...

Four ruminally and duodenally cannulated Suffolk wether lambs (34.5 +/- 2.0 kg initial BW) were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square-designed experiment to examine the effects of ruminal protein degradability and supplementation frequency on site and extent of digestion in lambs consuming a low-quality forage diet. Wethers were fed a basal diet of mature crested wheatgrass hay (4.2% CP) for ad libitum ...

I . The protein requirements of lambs were established by measuring nitrogen balance in seventy-four animals given liquid diets which passed direct to the abomasum. Four groups of lambs weighing approximately 8 kg (group I), 13 kg (group z), 21 kg (group 3) and 30 kg (group 4) received diets in which 0-10, 0.15, ozo,o'z5, 0 . 3 0 , 0 3 5 or w4oof thedigestibleenergy was provided as protein (DPE...
