Objectives or Summary:
The aim of the current presentation was to determine whether adding zinc to water will improve lamb performance during a hot climate. In this experiment, twenty-seven lambs were housed indoors in individual pens (1.50 x 1.30m). Zinc was added to the fresh drinking water in three different levels namely T1 (0 mg Zn/day), T2 (36 mg Zn/day), and T3 (72 mg Zn/day). Dry matter intake (kg/d), drinking water intake (litter/day), daily live weight gain, and feed conversion ratio were recorded. The current results indicated that no differences were noticed among T1, T2 and T3 groups regarding dry matter intake, water intake, daily live weight gain, and feed conversion ratio.
