dc.description.abstractAstudy was conducted to assess the growth and feed cost in lambs fed rations containing different roughage to concentrate ratios during January to May 2019.Eighteen male Mecheri lambs (3 months old and 11.80± 0.16kg body weight) were randomly distributed into three groups of six each. Sorghum stover was the roughage and roughage: concentrate fed ad libitum to lambs in 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30 ratios for a period of 120 days. The body weight gain, average daily gain, growth rate and feed conversion efficiency were significantly (p<0.001) higher in lambs fed 50% concentrate followed by 40 and 30% respectively. Higher proportion of concentrate in the ration significantly (p<0.05) influenced the serum cholesterol and inorganic phosphorus concentration. Feed cost/kg live body weight was lower in lambs fed 50% concentrate (Rs. 35.58/kg gain) followed by 40 (Rs. 42.43/kg gain) and 30% concentrate (Rs. 56.98/kg gain). Feeding of roughage and concentrate in 50:50 ratio was found ideal for better growth and feed efficiency in lambs.en_US
