- Getting early intake of hard feed is the key to rumen development and having a highly attractive hard feed is important supporting early intakes while lambs are still on milk.
- Protein is extremely important for supporting muscle and skeletal growth in young, rapidly growing animals.
- Lambs have a lower requirement for copper compared to calves so it is important a lamb specific vitamin and trace element pack is included in a lamb feed to prevent copper toxicity.
- Coccidiosis is an issue often seen in young lambs. Lambs are more prone as they are still developing immunity to the parasite. A coccidiostat aids to prevent this issue.
