Feed related diarrhoea
When lambs change over to milk replacers in their first week of life, excessive intake can lead to diarrhoea.
The diarrhoea per se is not very dangerous and will disappear after one to three days. However, the infection rate will increase strongly during the rearing season.
Pay attention to secondary infection of the lamb.
In such cases it is recommended to feed electrolytes (EMIX) to the lambs, instead of milk, for one day.
