Limit Feeding

  • For small numbers of lambs the most practical option is feeding a set amount of milk 2 or 3 times per day.
  • Although labour intensive, this does allow for reduced cost of the milk feeding period and a fairly rapid transition to solid feed and easy early weaning.
  • Either bottles fitted with nipples, or nipple pails can be used. What is important is that there is one nipple for each lamb, so that all have an equal opportunity to consume their allotted amount of milk.

 

Free Choice Feeding

  • Most systems designed to handle large numbers of lambs are based on lambs having access to milk at all times, so animals do not require individual attention.
  • This is the best system with respect to minimizing labour. Various systems from nipple pails to teat bars to commercial units are available. Regardless of the system used for free choice feeding, each nipple can accommodate 4 to 5 lambs.
