ForFarmers UK: Lambwena

The Added Advantages Improving the value per lamb The best returns for lambs come from selling a quality product which matches the expectations of the consumer. Timing is all important in the early lamb market in order to catch the premium prices.

Creep feeding can be economic if it results in a more rapid sale of lambs at higher prices. The practice of creep feeding has been evaluated on ewes suckling twins, as part of Forfarmers ongoing Ethos development work.

December born creep fed lambs grew more than three times faster than non creep fed lambs. This head start continued until the first creep fed lambs were ready for slaughter. The average weight of the creep group was 32.2kg compared to the non creep group at 16.2kg.

The advantage of a Two Feed creep system There are also extra benefits for pushing spring approach. Feeding, Ewbol Lambwena, (a 20% protein diet) in the early stages of growth i.e. up to 6-8 weeks, then reducing to Ewbol Prestige, (an 18% crude protein diet) for finishing. Compared to a single creep feed system, the time to slaughter can be reduced by 7 days, with large savings on feed and better market prices.

Lambwena Pellets An excellent ‘first feed’ to promote fast growth rates with high feed efficiency for modern lamb rearing systems.

Feeding Guidelines Offer Ewbol Lambwena Pellets ad-lib from 4 to 5 days of age. In high performance rearing systems, continue feeding until approximately 16/20 kg (6 to 8 weeks) when lambs can be gradually introduced to Ewbol Prestige Lamb.

STIMMULATE L helps the young lamb to build up its own natural immune status after the passive immunity it has been receiving, from colostrum has declined.

The Benefits...

1) It binds to pathogenic bacteria allowing them to be excreted without colonising the gut and causing problems.

2) Increases Immunoglobulin production in the gut, stimulating the natural immune response.

3) Provides elevated levels of Vitamin E & Selenium to promote animal health and combat disease challenge.

Features & Advantages Carefully selected oil sources provide high levels of energy in a form which the young lamb can easily use for fast growth.

20% crude protein with a high proportion of DUP. Ethos trials comparing a 20% protein diet with a 16% version have shown: 1) Improved liveweight gain of 11%.

2) Increased feed intake to weaning.

3) Higher weaning weights.

High levels of digestible cell walls to maintain stable rumen conditions, which are critical in the fast growing animal, minimising digestive upsets such as acidosis which cause a check in growth.

Highly palatable.

Minerals and vitamins included for healthy lambs.

Ewbol Lambwena Pellets contain STIMMULATE L, to promote health and vigour in those vital early stages.
