    abstract = {About 1 week old Mecheri lambs having average weight of 2.2 kg were selected and divided into three groups such as control, fed exclusively with ewe&#146;s milk, treatment 2, fed with 50% of soya milk and 50% of ewe&#146;s milk and treatment 3, fed with 75% soya milk and 25% ewe&#146;s milk. All the lambs were fed with 10% of their body weight. The control group had a mean body weight (kg) of 3.43, 6.34 and 8.57 at 30, 60 and 90 days of age, respectively. The T<SUB>2</SUB> group had a body weight (kg) of 3.69, 6.34 and 9.99 at 30, 60 and 90 days of age, respectively. The T<SUB>3</SUB> group had a body weight (kg) of 3.74, 6.89 and 10.33 at 30, 60 and 90 days of age, respectively. The growth performance of the treatment groups T<SUB>2</SUB> and T<SUB>3 </SUB>were significantly higher than the control group (p&lt;0.01). The higher weight gain was observed in the T<SUB>3</SUB> as compared to T<SUB>2</SUB>, this might be due to higher protein, total solids content of the respective soya milk and ewe&#146;s milk blends fed. This investigation reveals that the feeding of soya milk and ewe&#146;s milk blend will be beneficial for feeding orphan lambs.}
