Abstract
In utilizing the information in this publication, the sheepman and those advising him must keep in mind the ultimate objectives of the production program in question.
The major problem in nutrition is the definition of the desired animal function. Maintenance of the ewe, for example, is generally thought of in terms of the dry ewe. Yet maintenance of productive functions is a constant cost in ewe nutrition, whether she is pregnant, lactating, dry, or in the process of being bred for another year.
In utilizing the information in this publication, the sheepman and those advising him must keep in mind the ultimate objectives of the production program in question. Any specific recommendations must also be adapted to local conditions, particularly with reference to climatic conditions, grazing conditions, and the economics of nutrition recommendations in light of expected production.
