Tips to make Ultra Fresh^® milk replacer most effective.

As well as acting as a laxative to a baby lamb, providing highly nutritional colostrum that contains essential nutrients helps build lamb immunity. Provide an adequate quantity of colostrum to baby lambs. Cow's colostrum is a suitable replacement if ewe's milk is not available. (Do not dilute with water or warm too quickly if colostrum is frozen.)
Remove lambs from sight or hearing distance of ewes.
Provide a warm, dry, draft-free place to start nursing lambs.
Depending on what feeding advice you select, you may need to assist lambs in nursing for the first day or two.
If self-feeding, avoid placing younger lambs with older lambs. Older lambs tend to push younger lambs away from feeding.
Hang a light over the milk replacer self-feeding devices.
Provide the following injections at recommended levels:
First Day:
         a) Iron Dextran
         b) Vitamins A-D-E
         c) Selenium-Vitamin E preparation

15 Days
         Colostridium perfringen type
         C&D Bacterin (for overeating)
Start lambs on high-quality starter feed at two weeks of age. Provide ample water supply in front of lambs at all times. DO NOT feed hay or oats the first three weeks - it encourages bloating.
Do not feed leafy alfalfa until at least two weeks after weaning - it also encourages bloating
Wean at 30 days OR 25 lbs. of weight when lambs have begun to eat starter feed well.
