Effects of exercise and cooling on reproductive efficiency of ewes bred during summer months

Spies, H.G.; Menzies, C.S.; Smith, W.H.; Scott, S.P.

Failure of ewes to conceive during summer is one of the biggest problems affecting the early spring lamb producer. Workers at other stations have reported that 90 F temperatures lowered reproductive performance. This study was designed to determine the effects of forced exercise and temperature on reproductive performance of ewes.
