AB  - A two phase study was conducted using a total of forty-five West African Sheep lambs. The first
phase was from birth to one year of age and the second phase was from one year to four years of age. The
lambs were grouped using their dental arrangements at the upper and lower jaws, respectively. Their body
measurements were carried out at both the experimental and field levels. Body length, heart girth, height at
withers and chest depth were measured. Experimental lambs were taken at birth, weaning, one year age and adult
animals at one to four years of age. The effect of sex and birth type was investigated. Similarly, the same
measurements were taken for the surveyed animals from birth to one-month of age and for adult animals. The
study indicated that surveyed animals exceeded experimental animals in all the body measurements taken.
