Extract

1. The literature on the early weaning of lambs has been reviewed.

2. Four experiments were carried out at the Grassland Research Institute, Hurley, during 1959, 1960 and 1961 on the early weaning of Suffolk x Half-Bred lambs. The technique used involved weaning one of a pair of twin lambs at ages varying from 15 to 28 days.

3. In 1959 oneof each of apair of six twin lambs was weaned on to grass alone at 15–20 days. No losses occurred, but the weaned lambs grew very slowly. The unweaned twin lambs remaining with the ewes (i.e. reared as singles) grew at rates comparable to those of single lambs.
