Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, the nutritional requirement of the ewe for both energy and protein increases during this time. For a 175 pound mature ewe, TDN requirements increase to 57-66%, compared to 55% during early gestation. Similarly, crude protein requirement increases to around 11%.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is flushing, anyway? The term describes a temporary but purposeful elevation in the plane of nutrition around breeding time. Its objective is to boost ovulation, conception and embryo implantation rates. Flushing may also increase the proportion of females that exhibit estrus.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the final 4-6 weeks of pregnancy, ewes need good feed to keep up energy levels. If grass is short you need to add supplements to their diet, such as good quality hay, silage, multi-nuts and/or grain.
