Lambs form flavor preferences for nonnutritive flavors paired with glucose
Article Abstract:
Glucose-paired non-nutritive flavor preference of sixteen lambs was tested wherein either saccharine-laced orange or grape flavored solution was offered on the first day (d) then with glucose-paired orange or grape solutions on the next. Lambs which had grape andsaccharine on d 1 recieved orange and glucose on d 2, and the reverse for the rest. Conditioning was done alternately for 10 days with odd days like d 1 and even like d 2. At the end, lambs were offered with unsweetened orange or grape flavored water and their choice was the flavor paired with glucose.

Growth performance, serum hormones, and metabolite responses before and after weaning in lambs weaned at 42 days of age: effect of preweaning milk and postweaning alfalfa or grass hay diets
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on spring lambs to determine the effect of pre- and post-weaning diet on growth, serum hormones and metabolite performance. Modifications in the diet of alfalfa and grass hay during the pre- and post-weaning periods showed significant endocrine and metabolic changes caused by milk deprivation after weaning. Growth-controlling hormones respond to dietary change during weaning transition but are not affected by forage diet or changes that occur two weeks post-weaning.

Time of daily supplementation for steers grazing dormant intermediate wheatgrass pasture
Article Abstract:
Ruminally cannulated Holstein steers were distributed into groups and fed with either plain cottonseed or supplemented cottonseed at different times of the day. The effects of time of daily protein supplementation was compared to grazing behavior, forage intake, digesta kinetics, serum hormones and metabolites and ruminal fermentation. Results show an improved utilization of low-quality intermediate wheatgrass forage but no improvement on intake, digestion, or digesta kinetics.
