“…Ewes and their twin or single lambs respond differently to early weaning, probably because ewes and their single lambs have a stronger bond than ewes and their twins (O'Connor et al, 1992;Dwyer and Lawrence, 1998). In fact, after early weaning (at 1.5 mo old), single lambs pace more than twin lambs and reduce their grazing and lying down frequencies, whilst twin lambs do not change it (Freitas-de-Melo et al, 2021b). Similarly, ewes rearing singles pace and vocalise more than the mothers of twins (Freitasde-Melo et al, 2021b).…”

“…La razón más factible que explicaría esta situación es un mayor estrés pos-destete en los corderos que tuvieron AC (3,16), pues los corderos en AR ya habían experimentado previamente la separación de la madre (6). Lo anterior sería causa de una menor ingesta de materia seca de los corderos en AC, mientras que, los animales en AR ya habían sido forzados a consumir alimentos sólidos (pasto, concentrado, ensilaje y heno) producto de su restricción del amamantamiento.…”

“…Esto se traduce en menor costo de producción al no necesitar el uso de desparasítantes. Luego, el estrés sufrido por los corderos en AC al momento del destete pudo haber causado una depresión de su sistema inmunológico (3,4) llevando esto a un mayor puntaje de FAMACHA ® .…”
