The findings revealed that mothers in the DLS group had a higher (P<0.01) conception rate (28.6%), significantly lower (P<0.05) feed intake, and milk output than mothers in the DLT group. At all experimental ages, the body weight of the separated offspring from their mothers was considerably lower...
