Abstract:

The study was conducted at Sheep unit, Livestock Research Station, Mamnnor, Warangal. The ewes and lambs were divided into three groups i.e Intensive (G1), Semi-Intensive (G2) and Extensive (G3) group by using Completely Randomized design. The mean WBC (10 3/ µl) count of ewes in G1, G2 and G3 group had significant (P<0.01) difference between G1 and G3 group but the means of G1 and G2 group was not comparable. In lactating ewes, the mean RBC (106/µl) count of G2 group had no significant (P<0.01) effect with G3 group. The mean Haemoglobin (g/dl) in G1, G2 and G3 groups in dry ewes and had significant (P<0.01) difference between the three groups. The mean PCV (%) during dry period was significantly (P<0.01) higher in G1 than G2 and G3 groups. In lambs, the WBC (10 3/ µl) count was higher in G3 group followed by G2 and G1 group at the 90th and 180th day of study. The mean RBC (106/µl) of lambs at the 180th day was higher in G1 than G2 and G3 group. The mean Haemoglobin (g/dl) of lambs in G2 and G3 groups had no significant (P < 0.05) effect at 180th day.
