    Se usaron 48 ovejas multíparas Katahdin x Pelibuey para evaluar el efecto del 40 % de restricción nutricional antes (30 d, RT), después (50 d, TR) o antes y después de la concepción (80 d, RR), comparado con un grupo testigo sobre el estado corporal materno, crecimiento fetal temprano y peso al nacimiento de las crías. Solo ovejas con preñez gemelar fueron seleccionadas al día 50 post-monta para mediciones fetales por ultrasonografía y registro de peso al nacimiento. Las ovejas RT y RR tuvieron menor (p < 0.05) peso y condición corporal al empadre, mientras que las ovejas TR y RR a los 50 días post-concepción tuvieron menor peso que las ovejas de los otros tratamientos. Se observaron diferencias entre fetos de ovejas testigo y RT, siendo mayor (p < 0.05) el área vesicular, abdominal y fetal, además de la longitud cráneo-caudal y los pesos al nacimiento en fetos de ovejas RT. La desnutrición pre-concepción alteró de forma positiva el crecimiento fetal temprano y el peso al nacimiento de las crías en ovejas de pelo con preñez gemelar.

    A total of 48 Katahdin x Pelibuey multiparous ewes were used to evaluate the effect of nutritional restriction (40 %) before (30 d, RT), after (50 d, TR) or both periods (80 d, RR) compared with a control group on maternal body status, early fetal growth and lamb birth weights. Only twin bearing ewes were selected at d 50 of pregnancy for fetal measurements by ultrasonography and record of birth weight. Compared with control ewes, lower (p < 0.05) weight and body condition score had RT and RR ewes at mating time, likewise, TR and RR ewes at d 50 post-conception. There were mainly differences between fetuses from control and RT ewes, being higher (p < 0.05) the vesicular, abdominal and fetal area, as well as crown-rump length and birth weight for RT fetuses. In conclusión, preconception undernutrition positively altered the early fetal growth and lamb birth weights in hair ewes pregnant with twins.
