How milk replacer improves margins for surplus lambs >More in © Volac Research trials have shown rearing surplus lambs on milk replacer could clear a margin of £40 a head in a strong market. Two simultaneous trials were carried out last spring to monitor lamb weight gains and assess the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of the practice. At Harper Adams University (HAU), 13 surplus Suffolk Mule ewe cross Texel lambs were fed Lamlac via a thermostatically controlled Volac Ewe2 milk bucket, and weighed weekly. On a commercial farm in Lancashire, 100 surplus lambs out of Aberfield/Mule cross ewes were fed milk via a computer-controlled Eco Feeder – 51 of these lambs were weighed at birth, two weeks of age and again at weaning.

But after the chaos that affected Gatwick Airport in 2019 and other incidents involving drones and the public, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the regulator responsible for drones, is keen to clamp down on irresponsible operators. It has therefore introduced new risk-based rules to ensure drones are flown safely. Failing to do so could result in a hefty fine or even prison.
