Abstract: 【Objective】This study was performed to investigate the effects of different feeding levels of a milk replacer on growth performance, nutrient digestion and metabolism, and serum biochemical parameters in early weaned lambs. 【Method】Twenty seven newborn crossbred F1 lambs (Dorset×Thin-Tailed Han sheep) were randomly divided into 3 groups and each fed with a milk replacer at 1.0% (L), 1.5% (M) or 2.0% (H) of BW. Digestion and metabolism trials were carried out from 50 to 60 and from 80 to 90 d of age, respectively. Blood metabolites were determined at 50 and 90 d of age. 【Result】 The growth performance of lambs was improved as the feeding levels of the milk replacer increased, significant differences in the BW and BL existed among three treatments (P<0.05). As feeding levels increased, the digestibility of DM, OM, GE, N, EE, Ca and P rose. The digestibility of DM, GE, N, EE, Ca and P in the L group was significantly lower than that in the H group (P<0.05), but the retention of N in the H group was only 70.9%, which was significantly lower than that in the L group (78.7%) (P<0.05). At 50 d of age, no significant differences in the serum concentration of TP, BUN, GLU, CHOL and TG were detected among the groups(P>0.05), but the activity of serum ALP in lambs from the L or M group was significantly lower than that from the H group (P<0.05). At 90 d of age, the serum concentration of CHOL in the H group was significantly higher than that in the L group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 A proper feeding level of milk replacers significantly improved the growth performance, and nutrient digestion and metabolism. The lambs of 20-50, 50-70 and 70-90 d of age were suggested to be fed at 2.0%, 1.5% and 1.0% BW, respectively.
