Abstract

In 1986 (trial 1), lambs were exposed with their mothers to WB-PMP (whole barley and protein-mineral pellet) for 15 min/d for 0, 2, 4, 8 or 16 d. In 1987 (trial 2), they were exposed for 0, 4 or 8 d; two treatments for 8 d, with one receiving four times more WB-PMP (8H) than the other (8L). Following exposure to WB-PMP in both years, lambs and their dams grazed on summer range for 2 months before the drylot tests. Exposure for 4 d increased (P0.05) in 1987. Lambs exposed for 2, 8 or 16 d in 1986 did not consume more WB-PMP than controls (P>0.05). In 1987, lambs in treatment 8L consumed more (P
