Thirty three lambs of Bergamácia and Santa Inês the breeds were individually confined for a period of 75 days with the objective to evaluate the influence of breed and the viability of the use of swine wastes as part of the diet on the intake and performance of lambs. Two types of wastes were used: Bijú (Wastes obtained through the scratching and sweeping of the floor of the growth and termination stalls) and the Dry Sifted Wastes - DSW (Wastes obtained through the sifting of the solid part of the material contained in the of water sheet of the stalls and in the water of washing of the stalls). The treatments were: T1- Control; T2- Diet with 24% of Bijú; and T3- Diet with 24% of DSW, dry matter base. There was influence of the rations (P <0.05) on the intake of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), ethereal extract (EE) and phosphorus (P); and also in the live weight gain (LWG) and in the alimentary conversion (AC). Among the diets with wastes it was not verified differences on the intake of DM, CP, Ca and P; and in LWG. The lambs of the Bergamácia breed showed a higher LWG than the Santa Inês lambs.
