Abstract: The effects of cysteamine(Cs) on the birth weight and weaning weight of Tibetan Sheep lamb were studied. 20 pregnant ewes with the age of (125±5)d were randomly divided into 2 groups (test group and control group). 300 mg/(kg·BW) of Cs was added in the diet concentrate in test group every two days. The test period lasted for 90 days. The birth weight was measured after parturitionand two-month-old lambs was weaned and weighted. The results showed that adding Cs in the diet concentrate in test group could enhance the birth weight by 8.33%and the weaning weight of 2-month-old was increased by 13.73%.
