Avaliação do ganho de peso diário de cordeiros segundo o manejo de desmame

Abstract

Studies related to animal production and reproduction aim to minimize economic losses, since the number of lambs born and weaned per female / year is directly related to the productive efficiency of the herd. In this way, the greater the amount of lambs born and weaned by sheep, the greater number of animals for sale, for replacement of matrices and for the selection of the flock. The present study aimed to evaluate lambs' weight gain in three different types of weaning management, which were: the precocious, the mixed system and exclusive breastfeeding. Among the types of management mentioned in the experiment, the mixed management group was the one that demonstrated greater advantages in relation to the others.
