Abstract: In this study, we evaluated the productive performance and economic profitably of weaned lambs fed low quality hay and supplemented with a Trichoderma longibrachiatum strain isolated from sheep (ICA/UFMG LT 001). Twelve early-weaned Santa Inês x Dooper lambs were housed in individual pens during 63 days, and randomly split into two groups: (1) lambs receiving the medium without the fungi and (2) lambs receiving 30 ml of culture medium containing the fungal strain. The average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), feed conversion (FC) and feed efficiency (FE) were analyzed in split plots of three periods of 21days and the total weight gain and final body weight were evaluated. The lambs fed the fungal strain showed higher ADG between 21 and 42 days of experiment for (P<0.05) and the increase in total weight gain (1.86 kg) comparing with untreated lambs. However, no significant differences were detected for the DMI, FC and FE. The fungal supplementation reduced into 13.35 % in the cost/kg of live weight and increased the gross and liquid profits by 9.28 % and 13.32 %, respectively. This study was aim evaluate the direct addition of a fungus isolated from the digestive tract of sheep in the diet of recently weaned lambs. We concluded that this supplementation improves the productive performance and economic feasibility until the 42 days of feedlot these young ruminants.
