In a first trial, 6 single bearing ewes (group GS) were offered individually a daily 0.5 kg of commercial pellets. They were compared to the control group (GN; 6 ewes) with no supplement during 10 weeks of lactation. Basal diet was chopped Digitaria decumbens grass ad libitum. In a second trial, level of supplementation was adapted to the ewes? litter size: 6 twins bearing ewes (TW) and 6 single (SI). Mean milk production (oxytocin method) reached 1186 and 940 g.d-1 (P&lt 0.05)  aCattle  aMilk production  aSheep  aBovino  aCondição Corporal  aOvino  aBody condition score  aDaily weigh gain  aGanho de peso diario  aPlanta forrageira tropical  aProducao de leite  aSuplementacao  aSupplementation  aTropical forages1 aALEXANDRE, G.1 aARCHIMEDE, H.1 aDESPOIS, P.1 aJEAN-BART, M.1 aJACQUET, C.
