Abstract

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental feed in early lactation on WOOL GROWTH and quality of ewes and growth rate of sucking lambs. Thirty six ewes with similar conditions from a flock of autumn lambing of Arabi sheep of the Ramin Agricultural complex of Shahid Chamran University were included in this experiment. The ewes were divided into 4 groups of 9 sheep (with 3 groups of ewes were and 1 group were dry). The wet ewes allocated into 3 different levels of supplemental feed (0 (as conventionally similar to DRY EWES), 350 and 700 grams/ ewe)) for a period of one month after lambing in a completely randomized design. Despite the similar live weight of 4 ewe groups at lambing time, the DRY EWES were heavier (P<0.05) than wet ewes during whole period of 2 weeks interval from lambing to weaning. The same trend was found for body condition score. Live weight and body condition score of 3 groups of wet ewes were not affected (P>0.05) by levels of supplemental feed. With exception of those wet ewes were not affected (P>0.05) by levels of supplemental feed. With exception of those wet ewes offered 700g/day supplemental feed, the 2 other wet groups of ewes had significantly (P<0.05) slower WOOL GROWTH rate than DRY EWES during a 14 period weeks (from 2 weeks before lambing until weaning). The growth rate (g/d) of lambs reared by 2 offered supplemental feed group ewes greater (P<0.05) than lambs reared by conventionally ewes group during the whole period (10 weeks), but this superiority was accord during the first 6 weeks age of lambs not later 4 weeks. The differences of LAMB GROWTH rate between ewes offered 350 or 700-g/d supplemental feed were not significant (P>0.05). these results are shown that by offering 350 g/d supplemental feed can improve only LAMB GROWTH rate, but using 700-g/d supplemental feed can improve both lamb and WOOL GROWTH rate. Thus, it is recommended that, for similar conventional system of Iranian sheep production, like this experiment a high quality supplemental feed at least 350 g/d should be offered to the early lactation period of the autumn lambing of ewes.
