Reduced feed intake is not the major mechanism causing reduced birthweight in heat-stressed ewes. Ewes were housed in non-heat-stressed conditions (blue bars) and either fed ad libitum (solid orange bars) or pair-fed (striped bars) to ewes housed in hyperthermic conditions. Data are means, error bars indicate SEM, and significant differences are indicated by differing superscripts where stated in the source. Data derived from [127, 128, 134]. HS, Heat stress; TN, thermoneutral; Con, Control
