Effect of Feeding Lactating Ewes with Leaf Extract on Milk Yield, Milk Composition and Preweaning Performance of Ewe/Lamb Pair.

The objective this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of leaf extract (MOE) on milk production and milk composition in ewes and on preweaning performance of their lambs. Twenty-four lactating ewes were housed individually with their lambs and assigned to four groups in a completely randomized design. The treatments included a basal diet without MOE (MOE0) or a basal diet supplemented with either 20 mL MOE per ewe per day (MOE20), 40 mL MOE per ewe per day (MOE40) or 60 mL MOE per ewe per day (MOE60).
