Effects of birth weight and postnatal nutrition on neonatal sheep. I. Body growth and composition, and some aspects of energetic efficiency

We investigated the effects of birth weight and postnatal nutrition on growth characteristics of neonatal lambs. Low- and high-birth-weight male lambs were individually reared on a high-quality liquid diet to grow rapidly (ad libitum access to feed) or slowly (ADG 150 g) to various weights up to 20...
