• 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.

• 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.

• Teats should be at 40-45cm (16-18ins) above the stall floor.

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.
