*when using automatic feeders
NOTES:
- Ensure lambs receive adequate colostrum, then, start feeding Wet Nurse™ Competitive Edge 22-22-28 Lamb Milk Replacer in solution. Solution temperature should not be greater than 38ºC when fed. Feedings must be evenly spaced and frequency of feeding decreased gradually to avoid digestive upset. If lambs develop scours from overfeeding, maintain the amount of milk replacer solution being fed, but reduce the concentration of the solution by 25 to 50% for 1 to 2 days, depending on severity of scours. Provide electrolytes, if necessary.
B. AUTOMATIC FREE CHOICE-FEEDING:
- If automatic nipple feeders are being used to group-feed lambs, FEED SOLUTION AT A COOL TEMPERATURE (4ºC) TO LIMIT INTAKE AND PREVENT OVEREATING. Lambs will require assistance in adapting to nipples for 1 to 2 days. Reduce milk replacer solution levels for 2-3 days before weaning. It is suggested that lambs be weaned at not less than 30 days of age or 12-15 kgs of body weight.
