Short-term energy supplementation before lambing improves maternal behaviour, udder volume, colostrum viscosity and lamb birthweight in ewes under extensive grazing
The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of short-term energy supplementation before lambing on maternal and lamb behaviour and colostrum production in a large-scale trial in Merino sheep under extensive grazing. It was hypothesized that prepartum supplementation would improve ew...
