Effects of concentrate supplement on intake and weight gain of grazing lambs

摘要：

Sheep are the most efficient converters of the hundreds of thousands hectares of marginal vegetation into high quality animal protein.Meat production from lambs has remained economically important for centuries in Inner Mongolia.Many lambs in pastoral farming systems in Inner Mongolia cannot become full‐grown and ready for slaughter in the same year.This system then becomes uneconomical for the production of livestock for slaughter.This study was designed to explore feeding systems to improve the productive performance of grazing lambs.
