Feeding Systems

Store lambs produced from hill ewes make a significant contribution to lamb meat production, particularly during the winter months. Studies of store stock marketing in Scotland reveal that hill store lambs are criticised frequently for unpredictable growth, poor conformation and low carcass and saleable meat yields (1,2). Trials using Scottish Blackface lambs of a single strain and source suggest that poor performance is a function of inappropriate feeding method and premature slaughter (3). This trial looks at strain ,feeding systems and strain:feed interaction as sources of variation in the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Scottish Blackface lambs.

Dietary Choline

Choline is an essential nutrient for animals, but dietary choline is degraded in the rumen, and thus, should be offered as rumen-protected choline (RPC) in ruminants. In this article, we investigate the effect of RPC supplementation in feedlot lambs. Forty intact male Saint Croix lambs (average: 20.3 kg, 3–4 months of age) on a high grain-low roughage base feed were randomly assigned to four treatments (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% RPC on dry-matter basis; n = 10 per group). RPC was offered for 90 days after 15 days of adaptation. RPC supplementation was not associated with significant differences in dry matter intake, weight gain, gain:feed ratio, carcass weights, and the dressing percentages. There was a linear decrease in height to the shoulder (p = 0.013) and longissimus muscle area (p = 0.051) with higher RPC levels, and a higher backfat thickness and yield grade with 0.3% RPC compared to 0.1% RPC (p < 0.05). Blood triglycerides concentrations were higher in control (0% RPC) compared to 0.3% RPC (p = 0.008). The lack of significant effects on growth performance and the results on backfat thickness and yield grade, may indicate undesirable effects associated with RPC supplementation. More research is needed to establish the needs and specific quantities of RPC supplementation in feedlot lambs.
