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.
