%X Lambs were removed from their dams at 0, 1, 3 and 7 days of age and reared artificially on a liquid diet. Lambs weaned at 7 days suffered a more prolonged check to growth than other lambs but the body weights of all lambs were similar at 28 days of age. Lambs weaned at 7 days required considerably more handling before they would drink voluntarily from rubber teats.
