Abstract
1. Metabolizable energy (ME) intakes, heat production, non-protein respiratory quotient (NPRQ) and the plasma concentrations of glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), 3-hydroxybutyrate, insulin, growth hormone (SH) and cortisol were measured in shorn and unshorn pregnant ewes.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
