[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 4278318, member: 493"] These pulse crops not only supply energy, but promotes a hormone effect influencing ovule development in ewes and sperm production in rams. [USER=479]@JD-Kid[/USER] is quite correct about when to flush (add energy to increase ewe body weight). It is the flushing effect before the eggs are shed from the ovaries that determines if additional eggs will also be shed. Flushing that commences when the rams join the ewes only influences those ewes that will cycle from about day 8 onwards if the flushing effect (additional ewe body weight gained) is significant. Some farmers really cock up flushing by putting ewes onto longer pasture with much lower digestibility, resulting in no extra weight gain as the gut throughput is reduced. A high energy supplement may be a viable option if little high quality pasture is not available. Lower quality pasture still makes good maintenance feeding for the post mating period. If scanning % is high enough to suit the environment without having to flush, that's money staying in the bank. It gets back to animal genetics. [/QUOTE]
