This is predominantly because of the many production advantages it offers: greater net profits, increased number and weight of lambs produced per ewe productive lifetime, better use of spring herbage, early recognition of fertility potential, increased rates of genetic gain and...

	abstract = {In New Zealand{\textquoteright}s pastoral sheep-production systems, feed can become limiting during winter, when breeding ewes are pregnant. Ewes are often restrictively fed during early-gestation (Kenyon \& Webby, 2007) to enable greater levels of nutrition in late-gestation. Many studies have demonstrated that dam nutrition during various stages of pregnancy can program the...},
