Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

 

Proper and rational feeding of pregnant sheep not only provides the body with the necessary nutrients and energy, but also promotes the birth and proper development of offspring. From this side, the results of the research in this article, aimed at solving the problem of feeding pregnant sheep using various sources of fat, are relevant. Despite this, there are positions that need to be finalized in the article:

 

1. The introduction should more clearly indicate the novelty of the research. Has such research been conducted before? How does this research differ from similar studies in this area?

2. In Materials and Methods (lines 65-68),  it be indicated whether the fat dosage was set based on the dry matter of the feed or by another calculation?

3. In Table 1, remove "dry matter basis" from the title, or remove these words from the column title.

4. Add % to the title of Table 2, and remove it from the table data

5. Units of measurement should be provided in Tables 3, 4, 6, and 7.

6. What practical use do the authors see for the research results?

7. Of the 26 literature sources used, only 6 are from the last 5 years.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

I believe that all the comments that were made have been eliminated. The authors have made adjustments to the novelty of the research, clarified the details in the Materials and Methods. Corrections were made to the tables, sources of literature for the last 5 years were added, and the practical significance of the work was clarified. I believe that the publication can be accepted in this form.
