Abstract

Ewes which had been lactating for 3-4 weeks and which had been milked by hand from the day of parturition were subjected to food restriction for 4 days. One group of three ewes was fed ad libitum and a second group of four ewes was fed to meet calculated requirements for maintenance and milk production. Over 4 days food intake was reduced by 80 % in both groups of ewes.
