Abstract

Twenty-two triplet or small twin lambs were reared in two ways. One group received cow's milk and the other a synthetic milk designed to approximate in composition to ewe's milk. The group fed synthetic milk made significantly better live-weight gains to weaning. This difference was not maintained after weaning. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
