[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 7792707, member: 493"] Overfeeding of concentrates causes organ damage leading to permanent damage of organs such as testes and kidneys due to their labyrinth of fine tubules and to blood vessels in the testes supplying the vital sperm production tissue. A change in diet may save these rams, but don't expect them to be back to 100%. Excessive overfeeding can lead to liver failure resulting in sudden death. In such instances useful semen cannot be retrieved directly from the testes of the dead ram while still warm, as the semen has very low viability having been produced abnormal and/or "cooked" in waiting.
