Gestation diet guidance for ewes by ISU expert
Iowa State University Extension livestock specialist Tom Wickersham notes gestation is a crucial period for pregnant ewes with increased nutritional needs. Healthy 130, 150, and 170 pound ewes require about 4.8, 5.3, and 5.5 pounds of feed daily, with adjustments for thin wool, visible ribs, and twin pregnancies. In late pregnancy, substitute about one pound of grain for each pound of hay, up to two pounds per head daily, and boost energy in severe weather.
