Discussion

Analysis shows obesity management improves glucose tolerance in post-partum ewes, indicating metabolic benefits for mothers.

Insulin resistance and altered amino acid profiles were observed in obese ewes post-partum.
Ewes receiving obesity management showed improved glucose tolerance during tests at days 1 and 150 post-partum.
The approach involved monitoring glucose tolerance tests and dietary management of ewes pre- and post-partum.
Weight reduction during gestation can mitigate significant metabolic challenges associated with obesity in ewes.

F. W. Bazer (2025) studied this question.
