For newborn lambs, if the breast milk is not enough, you can choose milk powder as feed. Generally speaking, baby milk powder can be used as a substitute for lambs, but choose the type suitable for lambs, such as milk powder made from goat's milk. In order to protect the health of lambs, we should choose products with good brand reputation and guaranteed quality.

In addition, pay attention to the amount and frequency of feeding. Under normal circumstances, the daily feeding amount of newborn sheep should be 10% of their body weight, so don't let the lambs drink too much milk powder at a time. Let the lamb drink it several times, and wash the milk powder with warm water every time.

Step 2 choose animals with milk

Besides milk powder, lambs can also get nutrition by drinking animal milk. Some animals secrete milk suitable for lambs after giving birth, such as some dogs, cats and alpacas. When choosing animals to bring milk, we should pay attention to their health status and feeding methods, and try to choose healthy and virus-free animals.

In addition, the digestive system of lambs is fragile, so when using this feeding method, we should also control the feeding quantity and times and feed them in moderation.

3. Feed additives

If mutton is malnourished or lacks some important nutrients, you can consider using some nutritional supplements. At present, there are many nutritional supplements for sheep on the market, such as vitamins and trace elements.

However, it should be noted that the appropriate type and dosage of supplements should be selected to avoid indigestion and poisoning of lambs caused by excessive use. In addition, it is best to consult a professional veterinarian before using supplements.

Step 4 let the lambs eat grass

After lambs are born, they must be exposed to hay or grass. For a lamb without teeth, the grass can be cut into smaller pieces for easy eating and digestion. The cellulose, vitamins and minerals contained in grass are of great help to the growth and development of lambs.

When the lamb begins to teether, it can gradually increase the proportion of hay and provide clean and fresh water. Although sheep eat a lot of grass, they can't meet their various nutritional needs, so when feeding forage, they need to pay attention to supplementing other nutrients.
