ABSTRACT

The effects of feeding lambs with diets containing different proportions of rapeseed and linseed and their supplementation with vitamin E on fattening performance and slaughter value were studied in 30 ram lambs fattened intensively from 18.6 (on average) to 30-35 kg body weight. The use of 10% oilseeds (rapeseed and linseed mixture) in diets did not significantly affect the fattening performance or slaughter value of the lambs. On the whole, more favourable parameters were obtained with feeding rapeseed and linseed at a 1:1 ratio than at a 2:1 ratio and when the diets were supplemented with vitamin E.
