Thd soilage feeding experi ment is part of long-term USDA research designed to evaluate various management piactices for controlling inter nal parasites in lambs. At USDA’s Agricultural Re search Center, Beltsville, Md, animal husbandman Ivan L. Lindal and co-workeis divided 437 lambs and their dams into four treatment groups when the lambs averaged about 60 days of age. Four days before going on the experimental treatments, all ewes were giv en a therapeutic dose of phen othiazme. Lambs in group I were kept in a barn or drylot at all times and were fed soilage free choice plus a limited amount of pellets. Ewes were kept in drylot at night and allowed to graze during the day. Ewes and lambs in group II were turned out on pasture in Apul and at intervals not exceeding 14 days were moved to new pasture that had not been grazed previously during the year.
