“NEW LAMBS FEEDING TIPS”
Putting new club lambs on feed and getting them started can be challenging. Here is my personal protocal:
*Using one pound of feed twice a day
*A single handful of hay at each feeding-wheat, oat, triticale, sudan or Tifton 85 bremuda are best
*Avoid Alfalfa early in the feeding development period---alfalfa raises the core rumen temp and coccidia likes that warmer environment—more loose stools
*Provide a free choice mineral (Granite Sheep and Goat is my personal favorite (available with Jacoby’s)
*Provide cool fresh water that is shaded.
*Worm and vaccinate with CDT
*Injections of B Vitamins and BoSe are beneficial. Treat for coccidia when symptoms occur
*Increase amounts of feed gradually over time
Good Luck with new projects! Jacoby’s is here to support your feeding program, just call the office or consultants with any questions.
