| Summary: | 10 d (P < . 10), 80% for 20 d (P < .05), 16% for 3 0 d (P < . 5) and no difference in 40 d. In the twin bearing ewes, arrangement. All ewes were fed according to NRC (1985)diet body weight, milk production, blood glucose levels, and lamb concentrations. Data collected from this study showed that determine the effects of feeding monensin during late differences in lamb birth weights or postnatal body weight either an ionophore (diet I with 70 mg daily) or non- evacuated using milking machine. In the single bearing ewes, gain to 40 d (P>.05). Nfilk collection was conducted prior to gestation and early lactation on prepartum and postpartum ewe injecting Iml (5 USP) oxytocin intrajugular, evacuating the ionophore (diet 2) treatment groups in a 2 x 2 factorial lactation. monensin increased milk production in single bearing ewes monensin increased milk volume 35% for 4 d (P <.Ol), 35% for monensin increased milk volume on IO d I 1 % (P < .3), but one or two beginning an average of 56 d prepartum. There production. Ewes were grouped into singles and twins by received I ml (5 USP) oxytocin intrajugular and udder was sonogram results, allotted to pens in pairs and assigned to the morning feeding by removing the lamb(s)from the pen, there were no differences in the other collections. There Twenty-five multiparous Rambouillet ewes were used to udder by milking machine and discarding milk. At 3 h, ewe weight loss between treatments (P>.05). There were no were no differences in milk fat, proteir4 or lactose were no differences in prepartum weight gain or postpartum when supplemented prior to lambing and supplemented during |
