Article Synopsis

Twin lamb mortality is a major economic issue in the Australian sheep industry, and maternal betaine supplementation may improve lamb survival rates.
The study tested the effects of giving ewes 4 g/day of betaine during late gestation on twin lambs' live weight, temperature regulation, vigour, and survival under field conditions.
Results showed that while betaine increased certain health indicators in ewes and improved neonatal thermoregulation, control lambs were initially heavier and suckled faster than those from betaine-supplemented ewes.
