ABSTRACT
Twenty seven D`man lambs 6 months old (17.9; s.d = 3.1 kg) were used to study the effects of the concentrate crude protein (CP) content on growth performances, carcass and meat composition. Animals were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 9 lambs each and received individually oat hay ad-libitum and concentrates containing 130 (L), 180 (M) or 230 (H) g CP/kg DM. Hay intake averaged 49.7 g DM/kg W0.75/d and wasn`t affected by dietary CP content. Dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude fiber (CF) and CP digestibilities were similar for all diets. Average daily gain (ADG) was higher (P
