Grain-fed lambs grow faster and reach target weights quicker. Consumers tend to prefer the milder flavour of grain-fed lambs. It is easier to monitor and control animal health in a grain-fed situation. Grain, hay and silage can be a more economical feed choice in areas were land and fencing costs are high and it’s easier to keep them contained.
Ideally, keep them on grain as long as possible. Weaners need to keep growing to stay healthy and they should be gaining at least 50 grams per day. Weaners that will be slaughtered at weight need to be gaining 150g/d and many farmers aim for more than 250 g/d to reach slaughter goals. So, keeping them healthy and growing requires extra feed than is usually available in the pasture.
A reproductive ewe has the most variable feed requirements of all sheep groups and meeting her needs with a grain mix, ensures that it won’t have the biggest impact on production within your sheep enterprise.
Animals with signs of acidosis may appear to stand away from the feed with a belly ache and will generally have scours. Sheep should have access to hay, straw, or dry grass, as well as build the grain amount up gradually over time and monitor the flock carefully for any signs of acidosis.
At all times, hay or even straw should make up 10% of a sheep total diet. So if there is no grass available, would be best to feed hay or straw in conjunction with a grain mix for the fibre in the rumen to limit the risk of acidosis.
