...For lambs fed on a high plane of nutrition from 15 to 40 kg body weight, maximum weight gain and nitrogen retention occurred at about 17% dietary CP (Andrews and Orskov, 1970). However, the NRC (1985a) recommends 14.5% dietary CP for ®nishing early-weaned lambs fed for maximum growth. Therefore, the use of 18% dietary crude protein diets for ®nishing Awassi lambs is questionable. Small Ruminant Research 39 (2001) 41±46...
