The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary undegradable protein (UP) level on body weight change, nutrient intake, milk production and postpartum reproductive performance of Awassi ewes. Twenty-seven multiparous Awassi ewes (initial body weight = 53.3${\pm}$1.6 kg) were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (9 ewes/treatment) for 62 days using a completely randomized design. Experimental diets were isonitrogenous (15.5% CP), isocaloric, and were formulated to contain 17.9 (LUP), 27.1 (MUP), and 34.0% (HUP) of the dietary CP as UP. On day 10${\pm}$3 (day 0 = parturition) ewes were housed in individual pens for 5 weeks. Feed offered and refused was recorded daily. At the end of this period, animals were removed from their pens and combined into 3 separate groups (LUP, MUP and HUP). One fertile, harnessed ram was allowed with each group for 34 days. Rams were rotated every 2 days among the three groups. Each group was offered the corresponding experimental diet. Organic matter, CP, UP and metabolizable energy intakes were higher (p<0.05) for ewes fed the HUP diet compared with ewes fed the LUP and MUP diets. Ewes fed the HUP diet gained more (p<0.05) weight compared with ewes fed the MUP diet (7.3 vs. 2.1 kg), while ewes fed the LUP diet lost an average of 2.1 kg. Pregnancy rate of ewes fed the HUP diet was 100%, compared with 66 and 33% for ewes fed the MUP and LUP diets, respectively. Lambing rate was greater (p<0.05) for ewes fed HUP (8/9) diet compared with ewes fed the MUP (4/9) and LUP (3/9) diets. These results indicate that Awassi ewes receiving adequate dietary UP level consume more feed and are capable of returning to estrus shortly after parturition and are capable of producing two lamb crops per year.

제안 방법
All ewes were nursing single lambs. The experiment was divided into two periods; feeding and mating.
Twenty-seven multiparous, winter-lambing Awassi ewes (initial body weight = 53.3±1.6 kg) and their lambs were randomly allotted to one of three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (9 ewes/treatment). Ewes were assigned to treatments 10±3 days PP (day 0 = parturition).
대상 데이터
This experiment was conducted at Jordan University of Science and Technology during the months of December and January 2002/2003. Average day length in December and January is 10 h 29 min and 11 h 12 min, respectively.
이론/모형
Means for diet effects were analyzed as a completely randomized design using the general linear model procedure of SAS (SAS, 1991). Differences among treatment means for the experiment were detected by least significant difference (SAS, 1991).
성능/효과
In conclusion, this study demonstrates that feeding diets containing higher amounts of soybean meal as a source of UP has a positive effect on body weight and fertility in PP Awassi ewes. Awassi ewes are capable of cycling during the early PP period provided that adequate nutrition is available to minimize loss in body weight.
