Description
Summary:The major cause of lamb mortality in grazing systems at birth is starvation and/or exposure to cold complex, with hypothermia being a primary contributing factor. Here, an abstract of an article by Parraguez et al on establishing the effect of melatonin implants (M) in single- and twin-bearing ewes, on fetal BAT deposits is presented.
