        "abstract": "The current study assessed the effect of the pattern of live weight change on the ovarian function of maiden Barbarine ewes at approximately 1 year of age. For this purpose, a total of 171 weaned ewe lambs (mean live weight ± s.d. 34.7±3.07 kg and mean age ± SD 196±10 days at weaning) were selected for the experiment. Adjustment of live weight variation was used. Based on the slope of the curve, animals were grouped into three classes LWCI (n=46), LWCII (n=91) and LWCIII (n=34) with live weight loss being highest in LWCI and lowest in LWCIII. Following laparoscopy at 13 months of age, the proportion of ewe lambs found cycling in LWCIII (85.3%) was higher in comparison to animals in LWCI (43.4%; P"
