摘要: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate effects of age at weaning in combination with different procedures on lamb behaviour and performance. Thirty-two single-born male Balouchi lambs were weaned 6 or 12 week age. Within each group (n = 16), the using either a two-stage traditional one-stage method. In weaning, abruptly separated from ewes, whereas first prevented nursing their dam for 1 (stage 1) before separation 2). Lamb weights recorded after separation. Lambs heavier had greater (P
