Abstract: 【Objective】 The effects of undernutrition (0-60 d) and compensation (60-150 d) on live weight (BW) and development of small intestinal mucosa in lambs were investigated. 【Method】 Eighty Wu Zhu Mu Qin lambs at average live weight (14.72 ± 1.10) kg, were divided into control group (CG), restricted group 1 (RG1), restricted group 2 (RG2) and restricted group 3 (RG3). Dietary nutrition level were (ME: 10.61 MJ•kg-1, CP: 150.8 g•kg-1), (ME: 10.49 MJ•kg-1, CP: 92.4 g•kg-1), (ME: 8.36 MJ•kg-1, CP: 150.1 g•kg-1) and (ME: 8.10 MJ•kg-1, CP: 62.7 g•kg-1) during undernutrition period for CG, RG1, RG2 and RG3, respectively. However, in nutritional compensation phase all groups were offered the same levels diet (ME: 9.77 MJ•kg-1, CP: 124.8 g•kg-1). Weight of lambs was measured every week. Four lambs of each group were slaughtered at 0 d (at the beginning of undernutrition period), 60 d (at the end of undernutrition period) and 150 d (the end of nutrition compensation period). The samples of duodenum, jejunum and mid-ileum were taken and fixed by using paraformaldehyde phosphate buffer. After HE staining, morphological structure of intestinal mucosa were observed under light microscope. 【Result】 The results showed that at the end of nutrition restriction period, the average live weight of RG1, RG2 (P<0.05) and RG3 (P<0.01) was significantly lower than that of CG. However, during the nutrition compensation period, the growth rate of RG3 was significantly higher than that of CG (P<0.05). Development and growth of the small intestine mucosa were affected by nutrition level of diets. The energy restricted group (RG2) showed better compensatory potency than that of the protein restricted group (RG1). 【Conclusion】 The results indicated that after restriction by different levels of energy and protein all lambs showed compensatory effect in live weight and small intestinal mucosa growth. The development of small intestine mucosa was more prone to be influenced by dietary protein content other than energy concentration. After 60 d restriction by the nutrition level of ME: 8.36 MJ•kg-1, CP: 150.1 g•kg-1, the development of small intestinal mucosa of RG2 reached complete compensation at the end of nutrition compensation period, and nutrients absorption and growth rate also increased correspondingly.
