Abstract
The health and nutrition of the pregnant ewe largely determines how successful lambing is in any given year.
Careful monitoring and management of the pregnant ewe during the 5-month foetal development will help her cope with the rigours of birth and lactation, and also influence lamb survival, birthweight and production for life.
