The effect (±95% confidence intervals; dotted lines) of the change in body condition score (BCS) of triplet-bearing Maternal (black lines) and Merino (grey lines) ewes between pregnancy scanning and pre-lambing on their mortality to marking at 19 commercial research sites across southern Australia between 2019 and 2021. On average, measurements for pregnancy scanning were conducted at 97 days from the start of joining and those pre-lambing were conducted at 136 days from the start of joining. The average BCS at pregnancy scanning was 3.4 for Maternals and 3.3 for Merinos.
