Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the protein metabolism rules and determine the net protein requirement of Dorper and Hu crossbred F1 ewe lambs aged 4 to 6 months. Forty two four-month-old Dorper and Hu crossbred F1 ewe lambs [(35.68±1.68) kg] were used, comparative slaughter trail (n=30) and digestive and metabolic trail (n=12) were conducted, and factorial method was used to explore the method of predicting net protein requirement for maintenance and growth. Comparative slaughter trail: on day 1 of experimental period, six ewes were randomly chosen and killed (slaughter batch A, n=6), the rest 24 ewes were divided into 3 groups, which were ad libitum (AL) group (n=12), low-restricted (LR) group (n=6) and high-restricted group (HR, n=6). When the average body weight (BW) of ewes in AL group reached 42 kg, six from twelve ewes in AL group were chosen and killed (slaughter batch B, n=6), when the rest 6 ewes in AL group reached 50 kg of average BW, ewes in AL, LR and HR groups were killed as slaughter batches C, D and E (n=6), respectively. Digestive and metabolic trail: twelve ewes were divided into three groups (n=4) the same as comparative slaughter trial. The trial included 7 days for adaptation and 5 days for formal trial. The results showed as follows: endogenous nitrogen loss of Dorper and Hu crossbred F1 ewe lambs aged 4 to 6 months was 261 mg/kg SBW0.75 (SBW=shrunk BW), and it corresponded to net protein for maintenance of 1.63 g/kg SBW0.75. Ewes with 35 to 50 kg BW and ADG ranging from 200 to 300 g/d had net protein requirement for growth from 9.83 to 25.08 g/d. In conclusion, models for predicting net protein requirements for maintenance and growth of Dorper and Hu crossbred F1 ewe lambs are set in the experiment using retained nitrogen and nitrogen intake, and body protein content and empty BW, respectively.
