Follow these management practices:
Nursing, Orphan and Early Weaned Lambs: Feed to suckling lambs and lambs on milk replacer in creep area as soon as they will eat, usually by one week of age.
Receiving Lambs: Feed hay only on the first day lambs are received. Lambs can then be adapted to full feed over the next 5 to 7 days depending on the stress level imposed on the lambs during shipping.
Keep feed fresh and clean by feeding once or twice daily. Feed until lambs are weaned or until 6 weeks of age. Then gradually switch lambs to their appropriate grow/finish diet.
Lambs can be offered 10% (of their total feed) good quality grass hay in addition to this diet.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.
