MILK REPLACERS FOR LAMBS: LOWER MORTALITY AND EVEN HIGHER WOOL QUALITY

Reports have shown, with no change over the years, that neonatal mortality among lambs is a frequent and harming phenomenon1. One of the elements with great impact on lambs’ survival is neonatal feeding. Lambs need the milk intake in order to start building a strong immune system and fight the many infections to which they are exposed immediately after birth2. The use of automatic feeding systems and milk replacers has been tested and proved to be an optimal solution in cases where lambs cannot receive sufficient nutrition from the dams3. Specifically, studies from recent years have shown that use of milk replacers can lead to decreased lamb mortality, increased weight gain and better development4. These factors also allow for production of better quality wool5.
