Calcium and Magnesium supplementation to the lambing ewe

Studies have demonstrated that Ca & Mg supplementation provided to the pregnant and lactating ewe can improve immune status in lambs, reduce metabolic stress (related to Ca & Mg deficiency) that causes immune suppression in ewes and improvement early liveweight gains in lambs.

What does this mean forthe producer

• Improved immunity status of lambs has been shown to increase the milk consumption of lambs and the nutrient absorption from the intestine and consequently can affect lamb weight gain.
• Weight of lambs at around one month of age is an important factor that governs weaning weight and weaning time.
• Lighter weaning weight of lambs makes mating management of hoggets difficult.
• Early weaning gives ewes a greater period to rest and recover their body condition which may be a good strategy to increase reproductive performance of ewes in some regions.
