Means ± SEM differ (P < 0.05)

c

Means ± SEM differ (P < 0.10). Newborn F2 lambs born to offspring from obese ewes fed 150% NRC recommendations (OBF2) and control ewes fed 100% NRC recommendations (CONF2). CRL= Crown Rump Length; BPD= Biparietal Distance; RH=Right Humerus Length; LH= Left Humerus Length; TG=Thoracic Girth; AG=Abdominal Girth.
