Sheep about to start lambing - but is the diet right?!

[@greywater3186]

Never thought I’d be so interested in blood test results for sheep. 😂

Finding a compounded feed that has in the bag, what it says on the bag makes an enormous difference. They are permitted to have trade secrets. I have had a few analysed. Mole Valley Farmers have always come up to the mark for me. . The one thing many feeds lack is 5% bypass protein. They impress by the inclusion at a lower % and may be just hulls. I always find your content interesting as, although very retired, I still enjoy learning. I hope you enjoyed your KZbin break, no point in being a slave to it.

I knew you’d be back Wendy! Legend.

[@wendyrowland7787]

@@farmvetfilms not exactly a legend, just an old grannie who can’t beat the grandchildren so I’ve joined them in having a tablet. But yes, finding TV so boring, KZbin has been useful for many of my interests. Meanwhile I do actually do my best to stay out of chair, at my age, it’s what can still do. It used to be: And now I’ve got to cook the B dinner. I actually enjoy it now, along with growing and hobbies.

So happy to see you back!

[@tadhgpheaitwillie]

Well done. Thanks for the video. Wishing you a very good spring season and not too tiresome!

[@farmvetfilms]

Glad you’re back!

Great to see you back and fascinating video. I'm curious about what encourages mastitis - low energy, low protein, poor nutrition overall....is there a strong link to something in particular?

[@farmvetfilms]

As far as I’m aware nothing specific although protein implicated. As usual probably a combo of ‘all of the above’.
