Ewe feeding in early and mid-pregnancy

Key points

• Start rationing feed by lengthening ewe grazing rotation. Feeding low quality supplements may help achieve this.
• Feed well-conditioned ewes at maintenance – about 1.1–1.2 kg DM/day intake per head for a 60–65 kg ewe at condition score 3.
• Preferentially feed light, poorly-conditioned ewes at about 1.3–1.5 kg DM/day intake per head.
