Take advantage of the growth potential of lambs

The growth capacity of lambs is greatest during the first 10 weeks of their life. By using the milk replacer Panto® Lambmilk when feeding your lambs, you have the opportunity to make the most of this potential.

Efficient breeding

Increasing the number of lambs for sale is one of the key indicators of a successful sheep farm. Cultivation should be fast and efficient, so that they can be realized on the market sooner, which is also the most economically beneficial for the farm.

Whatever artificial rearing system you have adopted on your farm, feeding a quality milk replacer such as Panto® Lambmilk, along with good practices, will help you take advantage of this early growth potential and get high growth in your marketable lambs.

Important steps to achieve optimal results:

1. Don't compromise on colostrum feeding The first priority is to provide enough colostrum to each lamb. This food provides essential nutrition as well as important antibodies that help newborns fight infections.

2. Choose the optimal artificial feeding system Lambs can be reared by feeding milk replacer by bottle, by bucket feeding or by automatic feeding from a machine. The method you choose usually depends on the number of animals you have and the facilities you have available. If you use a bucket or machine, you will need to train the lambs to suck on the teat. Be patient...

3. Bet on the right breeding Lambs need constant access to fresh, clean water and high-quality feed that is easily available. Lay clean and dry straw, maintain strict hygiene control in the farm. For example, all feeding equipment should be thoroughly cleaned daily and disinfected twice a week. Following these steps will optimize growth potential in the early development period. This will ensure you have lambs ready for weaning as quickly as possible, increasing productivity and profitability on your farm.
