Thirty lambs were randomly assigned to a randomized complete block design with three groups (treatments) and two blocks (live weight). The ration was similar for all groups (ME: 2.6 MCal/kg, CP: 14.9%) and lambs were fed ad libitum. Metaproterenol was injected subcutaneously at 0 (control), 7 (low dose) and 14 (high dose) µg kg-1 w75. Lambs were weighed at 20-day intervals. Mean daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio improved significantly by metaproterenol (P SP - 157 EP - 166 AU - Zare Shahneh, A. AU - Mataji, R. AU - Zamiri, M.J. AU - Moradi Shar-e-Babak, M.
