An attempt was made to determine the effects of selenium and vitamin E supplementation on thyroid hormones in lambs. Sixteen Akkaraman lambs were used and divided equally into four groups. One group was used as a control. Second group was fed with selenium (sodium selenite, 0.3 mg kg -1 feed). Third group was fed with vitamin E (DL-a tocopheryl acetate, 250 mg -1 feed) and fourth group was fed with selenium (sodium selenite, 0.3 mg/ kg -1 feed) + vitamin E (DL-a tocopheryl acetate, 250 mg kg -1 feed) supplemented diet. Serum selenium, vitamin E and plasma thyroxine (T 4 …

The aim of the this study was to develop a model to estimate the individual feed consumption of fattening lambs which were fed in groups adlibitum. The individual feed consumption and live weight data obtained from the 3 previous works weresed. The feed consumption of 76 lambs in 41 different fattening periods were estimated by using the developed model and individual consumption values and group averages were compared with the estimated values. The model estimated the individual feed intake better than group averages in 33 of 41 calculations.
