Table 3

Effect of maternal and lamb postweaning diets on body weight (BW, kg), average daily gain (ADG, kg/die), and cold carcass weight of light Sarda lambs.

	Maternal diet (M)			SEM	Postweaning diet (PW)			SEM
	CTR	EL-10	EL-20		CTR	EL-10	EL-20		M × PW
BW at birth	3.48	3.65	3.49	0.09
BW at weaning	16.64	15.41	15.89	0.65

BW at slaughter	18.46	19.22	18.83	0.32	18.97	19.32	18.58	0.29	0.281
ADG at slaughter	0.074	0.103	0.092	0.01	0.090	0.107	0.073	0.01	0.318
Cold carcass weight	8.96	9.29	9.04	0.35	9.13	9.34	9.15	0.22	0.565

CTR: diet without extruded linseed; EL-10: diet containing 100 g/kg of extruded linseed; EL-20: diet containing 200 g/kg of extruded linseed.
