Abstract: -The objective of this study was to determine how concentrate supplementation during late third gestation and lactation affects ewe and offspring performance from birth to weaning. Thirty-six ewes and their offspring (n = 32) were used. Eighteen Morada Nova and 18 Santa Inês ewes were artificially inseminated with semen from Dorper ram and distributed in a completely randomized factorial arrangement (2 × 2) consisting of two supplementation levels (5 and 15 g kg -1 of BW) and two breeds (Morada Nova and Santa … Show more

“…Fernandes (1992) used a traditional weaning system at 90 days and achieved an average weight of 10.6 ± 0.7 kg, relatively superior to ours. Meanwhile, for Morada Nova and Dorper lambs at 42 days of life, Torreão et al (2014) recorded a weight of 7.8 kg, closer to that observed in the present experiment. The viability of the weaning system, beyond the litter performance, also considered the mortality the performance of the first week postweaning.…”

“…Among the breeds raised in this region, hair sheep are more common and include, among other breeds, the Morada Nova and Santa Inês breeds (GOTTARDI et al, 2014). These animals are well adapted to semi-arid climate conditions, and are starting to play an important role in the lives of people in rural areas (CATUNDA, 2011).…”

“…The lack of supplementation directly affects both the sheep and the lambs; it also affects the next reproductive cycle by increasing the anestrus period and the lambing interval and by negatively affecting the reproductive performance of ewes. Thus, flushing is recommended not only during but also before the breeding season and during the maternal-dependent phase, aiming for a better development of the animals and positive impacts on their reproductive performance (Torreão et al, 2014).…”

“…(2013) stated that supplementing Santa Inês lactating ewes with propolis extract resulted in no significant variations in BW or body condition scores. Also, others have stated that concentrate supplementation during pregnancy and lactation of Santa Inês ewes did not affect the body condition score (Torreão et al ., 2014).…”
