Effect of supplemental rumen-protected methionine on reproduction and production of Awassi ewes

The effect of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) was investigated in Awassi ewes (0, 3 or 5 g/head/d, n = 20) on reproductive and productive performance (initial body weight [BW] = 70.9 − 71.8 kg, 3 − 5 years). Supplementation started with the flushing feeding regime (at the breeding time) and lasted...

Description
Summary:The effect of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) was investigated in Awassi ewes (0, 3 or 5 g/head/d, n = 20) on reproductive and productive performance (initial body weight [BW] = 70.9 − 71.8 kg, 3 − 5 years). Supplementation started with the flushing feeding regime (at the breeding time) and lasted for 42 d. RPM was reused during the last 60 d of pregnancy and the first 60 d of lactation. RPM increased (p
