	abstract = {Currently less than 20\% of the lambs slaughtered in New Zealand  each year for export are killed in the five months from July to  November. The feeding of high grain content diets in feedlots, grain  supplements at pasture, maize silage or forage legumes to increase lamb  supply over this period is discussed. Grain-based feedlot diets,  supplements of pea grain fed at pasture and lupin and tick bean forage  produced lamb liveweight gains of 200 to 300 g/d, that compare with  gains of up to 150 g/d expected at pasture. Effects on carcass leanness  and meat taste were generally small. Although usually more expensive  than pasture, other feeds can be at least as profitable when pasture is  in short supply premiums are paid for lambs supplied in winter and  spring.  },
