Abstract     Comparative weight control showed better weight gain in animals of experimental group but this difference was most probably influenced by demanding conditions and lower nutritional food value of hilly pastures. Average body weight at birth of lambs and their body weight gains in the first 75 days of life did not differ between groups. Regarding the results of regular health controls, biochemical analyses of blood as well as hystological, pathological, toxicological and radiological analyses following control slaughtering, no significant difference was found between both herds. Stated differences in the size and weight of adrenal and thyroid glands are considered to be individual and due to the body weight differences. At present they cannot be attributed to the effects of electrofilter ash but the findings have to be confirmed by a longer posture period.
