pheric Research and serves on
the Committee on Minerals, Sci
ence and Technology, National

Muscle Building
No Aid To Lambs
Slaughter lambs, whether for
show or feedlot, probably realize
little if any benefit from exercise
programs which are supposed to
build muscle.
Dr. Z. L. Carpenter, speaking
during the 59th annual American
Society of Animal Science meet
ing July 30-Aug. 3 at the Uni
versity of Nevada, said experi
ments at Texas A&M point to
exercise routines as an “uneco
nomical practice.”
He said forced exercise with
show lambs likely does not help
in winning, and there is “not
much advantage in providing ex
ercise space for feedlot lambs
from the standpoint of carcass de
sirability.”
