Hot Topic: Help your lambs thrive this season with 2 essential products


During the first few months of life, it’s so important to understand the specific challenges your lambs face and recognise how to best support their needs so that they reach adulthood in optimum health. 

 Once they are weaned and on solid foods, lambs should be tough enough to spend time among other grazing sheep. However, because internal parasites can be a serious issue for sheep and since there is no transfer of antibodies across the placenta in ruminants, lambs are born with no protection against disease. They are reliant on colostrum for initial passive immunity and supplements for added protection. 

Lambs have a very permeable gut lining that can allow any ingested bacteria and toxins into the blood stream.Scour is a common problem for lambs in the first few months of life, and a consequence of scour is dehydration, which can be fatal. To prevent scour, it’s vital to support gut condition and digestion.

Lambs also have limited energy reserves. All lambs are born with a small amount of brown fat within their bodies, which acts as a temporary energy solution between birth and the time when a lamb is able to feed.

In young lambs, which are yet to develop a fully functioning rumen, it has been shown that there is a need for dietary supplements of vitamins, especially fat soluble and B vitamins.

How we can help:

Provita Lamb Response is an oral liquid suspension, which supplies a unique combination of beneficial bacteria, egg powder and vitamins to kick start lamb life.
