Colostrum
- The newborn lamb should receive a minimum of 50ml/kg body weight of ewe’s colostrum right from birth and every 6 hours during the first 24 hours. This will provide protection against future infections.
- First milking colostrum of mature ewes can be kept frozen in ice cubes and thawed when needed.
- Cow colostrum (from first milking) or commercial substitutes can be used when the above is not possible.

General recommendations
- Start feeding milk replacer once newborn has received colostrum.
- The suggested feeding program should be considered as a minimum. Approximately 8 kg of milk replacer will be consumed per lamb.
- Quantities offered should be adjusted to weight, increasing gradually from birth to weaning.
- Any change in the feeding schedule should be done with judgement, according to growth, size, general health and stool consistency.
- Frequent feeding of small amounts decreases chances of digestive upsets.
- Weigh lambs regularly to ensure that milk intake is adequate.
- Reconstituted Dairy-Lamb may be refrigerated up to 24 hours. Discard any unused portion after 24 hours.
- If warmed in microwave only use medium setting and mix thoroughly and regularly. Check temperature before feeding.
The milk replacer solution can be served in a nipple bottle or via a lamb bar. - Free-choice milk is served at room temperature; do not leave lamb bar empty for more than 2 hours.
- Lambs fed free-choice milk may consume as much as 20% more milk than the above feeding schedule.
Teats should be at 40-45cm (16-18ins) above the stall floor. - Clean ALL feeding utensils and equipment after each feeding: rinse in lukewarm water, wash with a detergent in hot water, rinse with clean water (ideally a 10% bleach solution once a day) and dry thoroughly with a ‘clean’ towel.
- Consult your veterinarian for any signs of disease, fever, parasites, …
Starter ration, water, forage and weaning
- Introduce a quality lamb creep ration (17-20% CP) from 4 days of age; offer small quantities twice daily.
- Offer good quality roughage at 2 weeks of age. Do not feed silage before 6 weeks of age.
- Fresh, clean water should be always available, particularly when consuming a significant amount of solids.
- When the lamb is consuming a minimum of 120-150g of creep ration per day for more than 2 consecutive days, the weaning process can be initiated. Suggested weaning weight is about 12 kg. Consult your local feed dealer for feed recommendations.
NOTE: Store this product in a cool dry location, protected from the sun. To maintain freshness, keep partially used bag closed tightly after opening and store in a clean, closed, plastic container.
CAUTION: Directions for use must be carefully followed. Do not use in association with another feed containing supplemental selenium.
