This trial was accomplished for 60 days with a completely random design in Qazvin Research Station of sheep and goat. Forty tree Chal lambs at 18±4 days of age were allocated three treatments: 1) ewe with her lamb, the lamb can suckled her mother two times a day; 2) ewe with her lamb, the lamb can suckled her mother one time a day and milk's ewe was milked one time a day; 3) ewe's milk was milked two time a day and her lamb was reared artificially. In treatment 2 and 3, the lambs drank calf milk replacer one and two times a day, respectively. The results indicated that the daily gain average of treatment 1 was better than the others (p.05). Their daily gain averages were 141.47, 62.77 and 85.1 gr for a lamb in treatments 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The amount of daily milk yield was 192.5 and 322 gr/ewe in treatment 2 and 3, respectively. Lamb survival during the experiment was 95, 87 and 65% for treatments 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The amounts of daily milk yield wasn't significant in morning (p.05). The results show that from an economic point view, the treatment 1 is the best and treatment 3 was the least .
