In addition, the twin-bearing ewes had 22% more progesterone and 13% more 17β-estradiol compared to the single-bearing ewes, which represented a statistical trend ( p = 0.061 ) only for progesterone.

Glycaemia and estradiol-17β concentrations sharply increased after parturition but no differences were observed between single- and twin-ewe pregnancies at any of the two evaluation times; however, prior to lambing, the glycaemia in twin-bearing ewes showed a trend ( p = 0.092) to be lower than those carrying singletons.
