- W2003807457 abstract "Summary Exposure of sheep to a long-day photoperiod during late pregnancy results in greatly increased plasma prolactin concentrations in both the ewe and her fetuses compared to values in animals experiencing short days. To investigate whether the endocrine changes resulting from provision of additional lighting might also influence the pre- and postnatal growth of lambs or udder development in winter-housed ewes, two experiments were carried out. In the first, a group of housed Mule ewes, lambing in early January 1989, were given additional lighting to provide a long-day photoperiod [16 h light: 8 h dark] from 6 weeks before delivery until 6 weeks after lambing. In the second experiment, 50 housed Mule ewes were given additional light for 7 weeks before delivery at the end of March 1990. In both experiments, comparable groups of housed Mule ewes experiencing only the natural shortday winter photoperiod served as controls. In both experiments, provision of the long-day photoperiod resulted, within 3 weeks, in highly significant increases in plasma prolactin concentrations in the ewes. Plasma prolactin concentrations in the lambs from ewes experiencing the long-day photoperiod were also increased at birth (8-fold) and throughout the suckling period (3–5-fold) compared to values in short-day control lambs. Despite these large differences in plasma prolactin concentrations, there was no significant effect of photoperiod on the birth weight of the lambs in either experiment. There was also no effect of photoperiod on the postnatal growth of lambs in Experiment 1. Provision of a long-day photoperiod resulted in some increase in the rate of growth of linear measurements of udder size in ewes during both experiments, but only resulted in a significant increase in estimated udder size at delivery in ewes with twins or larger numbers of fetuses in the first experiment. In both experiments the effect of a long-day photoperiod on udder size was similar to or less than the effect of one additional fetus. The results do not suggest that prenatal photoperiodic experience results in any major alteration in somatic development in lambs at birth or during early postnatal life. They do, however, give some support to other observations that ambient photoperiod may influence pre-partum udder development in the ewe." @default.
