Abstract

The experiment was conducted to study the effects of different feeding methods and nutrient levels on body weight change and serum indexes of ewes and lamb development in winter. A total of 135 three to four years Mongolia sheep with an initial body weight of (42.94±5.92) kg were randomly divided into 3 groups with 5 replicates per group and 9 sheep per replicate. Ewes in the control group (group C) were using the feeding method of grazing and supplementary feeding; pregnant ewes in the two experimental groups were fed for 100% (group Ⅰ) and 60% (group Ⅱ) feeding standard, respectively, and the ewes were fed in warm shed. The pre-experimental period lasted for 10 days, and the experimental period lasted for 90 days. The results showed as follows:1) the body weight before delivery and average daily gain before delivery of ewes of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ were significantly higher than those of the group C (P<0.05), the body weight after delivery and final body weight of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ were significantly higher than those of the group C (P<0.05), and the average daily gain after delivery of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group C and group Ⅱ (P<0.05). 2) The birth weight of lambs of group C was significantly lower than that of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (P<0.05), and group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that of group Ⅰ(P<0.05); the body weight of 30 days of age of lambs of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of the group C (P<0.05), and the average daily gain of lambs of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group C and group Ⅱ (P<0.05). 2) At the final stage of trial, the serum urea (UREA) content of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group C and group Ⅱ (P<0.05), the activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum of group C were higher than those of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ, but there were no significant difference (P>0.05); the serum total protein (TP) content of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of the group C (P<0.01), the serum albumin (ALB) content of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of the group C and group Ⅱ (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of the group C and group Ⅱ (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and lactic dehydroge (LDH) and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG) and total cholesterol (TC) and total antioxidant capacity in serum among all groups (P>0.05). Therefore, 60% feed according to the feeding standard in warm house in winter can meet the nutrient requirement of ewes in late pregnancy and after delivery, improve the birth weight and average daily gain of lambs, and 100% feed according to the feeding standard trend to improve the antioxidant and immune capacity of breeding ewes.
