Effect of Dietary Grape Pomace and Seed on Ewe Milk and Meat Quality of Their Suckling Lambs

Table 1

Least square means (±S.E.) of the weights of ewes fed three types of concentrate and weight and carcass characteristics of their suckling lambs.

	Control	Grape pomace (10%)	Grape seed (5%)
Initial ewes weight (kg)	44.63 (±1.46)	42.75 (±1.54)	45.79 (±1.41)
Ewes weight at 15 d lactation (kg)	50.90 (±2.20)	52.02 (±2.31)	53.70 (±2.11)
Lambs birth weight (kg)	3.56 (±0.19)	3.68 (±0.22)	3.71 (±0.20)
Lambs slaughter weight (kg)	12.25 (±0.61)	11.12 (±0.68)	11.76 (±0.62)
Carcass weight (kg)	5.65 (±0.01)	5.63 (±0.01)	5.63 (±0.01)
Conformation score	2.10 (±0.24)	1.50 (±0.24)	2.09 (±0.23)
Fattening score	2.10 (±0.20)	1.70 (±0.20)	1.45 (±0.19)
