Whether targeting efficient production of lamb with excellent levels of conformation, or growing gimmer lambs for the replacement flock; ensuring animals are strong and healthy with optimal rumen development and a robust immune system is essential. Good quality colostrum and milk, along with creep feeding from a few days old give lambs the best start in life.
High in energy, protein and starch, BATA lamb creep diets are formulated to be fed alongside a source of long fibre. This has been shown to aid the development of both the vascular supply and structure of the rumen; ensuring optimal rumen stability and feed efficiency. A ready supply of fresh water and a balanced diet supports the microbial flora in the rumen, which is key for the lamb to obtain the best nutrition from the feed they are supplied.
BATA offer a range of lamb weaning and finisher options. All our lamb diets contain ammonium chloride, to aid in the reduction of Urinary Calculi in growing and finishing lambs.
