The aim of this work was to study reproductive response to a food restriction in ewes with different body condition score (0, emaciated-5, obese) at the beginning of the experiment (BCSi). During the breeding season, 36 Rasa Aragonesa ewes were divided into 2 groups with different BCS: BCS> 2.75 (high, H, 2.9 ± 0.04) and BCS
