This study evaluated changes in maternal temperature and colostrum physicochemical characteristics during the transition from late gestation to early lactation. Seventeen pregnant ewes were monitored from 36\u2009h before to 36\u2009h after lambing. Vaginal and rectal temperatures were measured by digital thermometry, udder surface temperature by infrared thermography, and colostrum calcium, Brix value and pH were assessed using rapid field methods. Vaginal and rectal temperatures decreased significantly before lambing (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas udder surface temperature remained unchanged. Colostral calcium concentration decreased before parturition and increased postpartum (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while Brix values increased significantly before lambing (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). No significant changes were observed in colostral pH. These findings suggest that maternal temperature and colostrum physicochemical characteristics may serve as useful physiological indicators of imminent lambing in ewes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.70294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]],"date-time":"2026-10-01T04:00:54Z","timestamp":1790827254000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Periparturient Changes in Maternal Body Temperature and Colostrum Physicochemical Characteristics in Rasa Aragonesa Ewes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0797-1841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L.","family":"Gil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Patolog\u00eda Animal, Unidad de Reproducci\u00f3n y Obstetricia, Facultad de Veterinaria Universidad de Zaragoza, Instituto IA2 (Instituto Agroalimentario de Arag\u00f3n) Spain  Zaragoza Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Patolog\u00eda Animal, Unidad de Reproducci\u00f3n y Obstetricia, Facultad de Veterinaria Universidad de Zaragoza, Instituto IA2 (Instituto Agroalimentario de Arag\u00f3n) Spain  Zaragoza Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Horndler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USJ (Universidad San Jorge.
