Abstract

The paper aims at the artificial weaning that is currently used in sheep and goat farms. In Romania, the main mating season is autumn, and calving takes place in spring. The price of milk and dairy products is high during this period because the milk produced by sheep and goats is consumed especially by lambs / kids, to be capitalized on the stain only after their weaning. In sheep and goats with very good milk yields, one milking per day can be practiced provided that enough milk remains for sucking lambs. In other cases, the lambs are weaned early and will be raised with milk substitutes and the milked milk is fully exploited on the market. Breeders who want to capitalize on all or part of the milk production produced by the mother sheep as early as possible after farrowing try to find those technological variations of feeding lambs / kids that do not affect their growth. This line also includes the research carried out regarding the effect of using milk substitutes (reconstituted milk) in the feed of lambs / kids by breastfeeding and by incorporating them into the mixture of concentrates.
