Discussion

Observation shows energy intake affects milk production and metabolic status in fat-tailed ewes, indicating crucial nutritional needs.

Lower energy intake resulted in significant body weight loss during lactation.
Milk production levels varied, with the restricted group yielding significantly less milk.
Energy intake influenced metabolic parameters, altering blood glucose and NEFA concentrations.
The findings suggest nutritional strategies are essential for optimizing lactation in transitioning ewes.

Mousaie et al. (2025) studied this question.
