The effects of mild prenatal stress during mid- and late-pregnancy, on lamb vigour traits

Abstract

The datasets include data gathered on both pregnant ewes and newborn lambs.
 In pregnant ewes we collected, health checks and blood samples which were analysed for glucose and lactate before and after the stress treatments.
 In newborn lambs we collected data relating to vigour traits such as body dimensions, reactivity during a behaviour test and body surface temperature using IRT during a cold challenge
