    • High quality milk proteins and a homogenized edible fat blend with coconut oil that is highly digestible resulting in very efficient feed conversion and optimum growth rate.
    • Fully fortified with vitamins and minerals.
    • Contains a low level of lactose since the lamb is relatively intolerant to lactose.
    • Provides probiotic strains with excellent stability. It is a natural, non-medicated milk enhancer that populates the gut with beneficial bacteria giving the lambs the best possible start.

    Product Highlight

    The ewe is often not able to supply enough milk for her lambs, especially lambs from more prolific breeds producing triplets or quads. To reduce the pre-weaning mortality, it becomes necessary to rear a part of the lambs away from the ewe. By rearing part of the lambs on Lamb Milk Replacer, the amount of milk left for the lambs on the the ewe increases, enabling them to grow faster.  

    Management Tips

    • Lamb Milk Replacer can be used to save orphan lambs, weak lambs, unclaimed lambs and lambs from multiple births.
    • Feed colostrum for at least the first 24 hours of life. If ewe’s colostrum is unavailable, cow’s colostrum can be used.
    • Assist lambs for the first day or two on the feeding device used.
    • Provide a dry, warm and draft-free pen to start lambs on Lamb Milk Replacer.
    • Provide a high quality lamb starter feed at one week of age. Lambs should be offered fresh water free choice.
    • Lambs can be weaned at four to six weeks of age and weighing at least 25 lbs.
    • Keep milk replacer feeding equipment clean.
