Abstract
Studies of ewe behaviour are not only necessary to facilitate management procedures but also to ensure high productivity. Indeed, information on the ewe behaviour during parturition would help in reducing ewe and lamb wastage, but there is little information available. This paper gives information on the diurnal variation in lambing and time taken for placenta expulsion in Awassi ewes.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
