Lambs are known to change their feed intake in relation to environmental temperature (Blaxter, 1962). However, their ability to select a non-limiting diet, when free-choice fed, has only been investigated in a thermoneutral environment (Cropper, 1987). The aim of this experiment was to test the idea that, at low and high ambient temperature, (a) feed intake would increase in the cold and decrease in the hot, relative to a thermoneutral control, and that (b) the protein content of the diet selected would be lower and higher respectively.
