title: [Pancreatic lipase activity in growing sheep].
abstract: The development of the activity of pancreas lipase was observed at lambs reared with and without ewes from their birth to an age of four weeks and in a second series between five and 18 weeks. A statistically significant influence of the age on the level of activity of pancreas lipase could be observed. It was also influenced by the feeding regime, that is, the lambs reared without ewes which were fed restrictively with milk replacer showed a significantly higher activity of pancreas lipase on comparison with lambs reared with milk replacer ad libitum or those reared by ewes. 8-week-old lambs after a suckling period of four weeks and the subsequent sole feeding with pelleted mixed feed reached approximately the same activity of pancreas lipase as adult wethers.
