The influence of processing corn grain fed to ewes during late pregnancy on birth-weight of Finn x Awassi crossbred lambs

Landau S., Zoref Z., Nitsan Z., Madar Z.

The relationship between corn starch degradability in late pregnancy diets and lambing performance was studied in 60 Finn-Awassi ewes fed diets containing 500 g/d of corn given as whole (WC), extruded (EC) or ground (GC). Lamb birth-weights ranked as follows: single lambs: EC greater than WC greater than GC (NS at 2nd parity, P less than 0.10 at 3rd and higher parities); twin lambs: EC greater than WC
