Nutrition: Sheep: Introduction |  |
| The economical and efficient production of lamb and wool is contingent on maximal production per ewe. Economical maintenance of breeding animals, a high percentage of the lamb crop weaned, continuous and rapid growth of lambs, heavy weaning weights, and a heavy fleece weight are important to efficiency. All of these are influenced by nutrition. Quantifying the nutritional requirements for maintenance, reproduction, growth, finishing, and wool production is complex because sheep are
maintained under a wide variety of environmental conditions. |
