Abstract
SUMMARYThe water intake of individually penned ewes has been determined during the last 21 days of pregnancy and the first 21 days of lactation. Pregnant ewes carrying one lamb had lower water intakes than ewes carrying twins. Water intake per unit dry-matter intake increased as dry-matter intake declined.Lactating ewes suckling twin lambs consumed more water than ewes suckling singles although both groups had similar dry-matter intakes.
