ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to compare the metabolic and productive behavior of lambs with natural lactation (NL) and artificial lactation (AL). The study included 41 lambs divided in two treatments: 19 lambs with NL sucked ad libitum from their mothers and 22 lambs with AL that were separated from their mothers at 24 hours after born in order to be fed with milk replacer (105g in 3 Intakes/day). All 41 lambs were fed (creep feeding), weighed (BW), and blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture at 1, 8, 15, 29 and 43 days of age (sampling) (SD). The serum metabolites quantified were Total Protein (TP), Urea (UR), Glucose (GL), and Triglycerides (TG). The statistic analysis was a PROCMIXED and PROCCORR from SAS. There was significant difference between treatments in the variables UR with 4.1 and 3.52 mg/dL in BW with 6.09 and 4.73 kg in NL and AL respectively (P‹0.05). There was observed negative correlation between SD (sampling day) with TP and GL, and positive correlation between SD with UR and TP (P‹0.05). GL and TG showed negative correlation (P ‹0.05) with UR. The correlation analysis by treatment showed negative correlation in NL between UR and PS ((P‹0.05). This shows that except for the last two variables PS and UR, the AL and NL are similar. However is necessary to be careful with the quantities and qualities of the milk replacer used in AL. Finally, the weight gain of the lambs in LN depends mainly of the mother´s milk production and not from the ruminal development of the lamb.
