Title of the paper: <b>Feed intake and eating behaviour of growing lambs. 2nd communication: geneticcorrelations between feed intake and performance traits</b> In the present study genetic correlations between feed intake, feed efficiency and daily feed intake on one handand fattening performance, carcass quality and fertility on the other hand were estimated. Data were collected inthe test stations “Schöndorf”/Thuringia and in “Grub”/Bavaria as well as in stud book farms in Thuringia andBavaria. Fattening performance and carcass quality were measured on 4,397 and 2,264 lambs, respectively, inSchöndorf and 1,292 lambs in Grub.  The genetic correlation between feed efficiency and the number of lambs born alive (LGL) was in Thuringiar<sub>A</sub> = −0.35, but in Bavaria −0.03 only. Further, the genetic correlations between daily feed intake and LGL weredifferent with 0.29 in Thuringia and −0.20 in Bavaria. But the standard errors of the estimates were high due toan insufficient genetic linkage between data from station testing (fattening performance, carcass quality) andfrom field testing (fertility). Therefore, the results have to be considered as tendencies. A high feed intake duringthe whole test period led to better daily gain. The genetic relationships between feed intake and carcass qualitywere indifferent. When using feed intake or efficiency for breeding value estimation and selection no basicallyproblems have to be expected
