Excerpt from Age and Weight as Factors in Lamb Feeding: Thesis It is the purpose of this experiment to study the importance of age and weight as factors in lamb feeding. Formerly, fat lambs of high quality and weighing one hundred pounds or more commanded top prices upon the large markets, but at the present time mutton consumers prefer lambs of high quality and finish, weighing from seventy-five to eighty-five pounds each and highest prices are.

The INRA Feeding System for Ruminants has been renewed to better address emerging challenges for animal nutrition: prevision of productive responses, product quality, animal health and emissions to the environment, in a larger extent of breeding contexts. The new system is mainly built from meta-analyses of large data bases, and modelling. The dietary supply model accounts for digestive interactions and flows of individual nutrients, so that feed values depend on the final ration. Animal requirements account for variability in metabolic efficiency. Various productive and non-productive animal responses to diets are quantified. This book presents the whole system for dairy and meat, large and small ruminant production, including specificities for tropical and Mediterranean areas. The first two sections present biological concepts and equations (with their field of application and statistical accuracy) used to predict intake (including at grazing) and nutrient supply (Section 1), animal’s requirements and multiple responses to diets (Section 2). They apply to net energy, metabolisable protein and amino acids, water, minerals and vitamins. Section 3 presents the use of concepts and equations in rationing with two purposes: (1) diet calculation for a given performance objective; and (2) prediction of the multiple responses of animal to diet changes. Section 4 displays the tables of feed values, and their prevision. All the equations and concepts are embedded in the fifth version of INRAtion® software for practical use.

Offers realistic advice for producers who are considering feedlotting lambs - where all nutrients are supplied, movement is restricted and shade and water are provided. It should also be useful where supplementary feeding of grain, hay or other nutrients is used to lift the available.
