	Why Ewes Don't Always Deliver What They Scan: Understanding Fetal Loss in Sheep
	Publication #: B-1410 Date Published: 03/17/26 Publication Author(s): Whit Stewart Micah Most

Description:
Many sheep producers have experienced the frustration of ultrasound scanning a ewe flock in mid-pregnancy with high expectations, only to find later that the lambing percentage doesn’t match the scanning results. Where do those “missing lambs” go? Research on embryonic and fetal loss in sheep provides important lessons about management, nutrition, and why conditions and events in the first trimester of pregnancy matter so much.
