Feeding Tips:

  • Start feeding milk replacer once newborn has received colostrum, approximately four feedings of 200 ml each.
  • Quantities offered should be adjusted to weight, increasing gradually from birth to weaning.
  • Any change in the feeding schedule should be done with judgment, according to growth, size and stool consistency.
  • Frequent feeding of small amounts decreases chances of digestive upsets.
  • Free-choice milk is served at room temperature; do not leave lamb bar empty for more than two hours.
  • Teats should be at 40 to 45 cm (16 to 18”) 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 5 to 10% bleach solution once a day) and dry thoroughly with a ‘clean’ towel.
  • Introduce a quality lamb creep ration (17 to 20% CP) from four days of age: offer small quantities twice daily.
  • Offer good quality roughage at two weeks of age. Do not feed silage before six 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 to 150 g of creep ration per day for more the two consecutive days, the weaning process can be initiated. Suggested weaning weight is about 12 kg.​
