How West African Dwarf Lambs Grow - Henlus - 07-29-2019
Initially, they grow fast until they reach 5 months old. Then it slows down until adult weight is reached. Growth rate varies from 20 to 200g per day depending on feed quality.
After a period of under feeding, they will grow faster than normal if feeding is improved. This is called compensatory growth.
