The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence and relationship of two growth rates with bodydevelopment lambs, by monitoring the body measurements. We evaluated 20 Bergamasca lambs keptconfined and offered a diet formulated to obtain an average daily gain weight (ADG) of 180 grams(treatment Low) and 300 grams (treatment High). Every 14 days, the animals were weighed, given the bodycondition score (BCS), height, chest girth, neck and shin. To evaluate the data we used analysis of varianceand correlation with Spearman significant difference when P<0.05. Lambs of treatment High showed thehighest ADG, BCS and biometric measurements, in addition, in both treatments, the biometric patterncorrelated positively with each other and the body weight. Therefore, food differentiation had a directeffect on the development of growing lambs.
