What are the benefits of automatic kid & lamb feeding

By In BLOG On 3 September 2022


Automatic kid and lamb feeding 

Automate your lamb feeding with Ambrosia Feeder – the most advanced and innovative artificial lactation machine, developed using Agromasters’ extensive know-how in this field. The care and survival of newborn lambs and baby goats are the most significant management challenge for many producers and takes a significant amount of time. The animals are especially vulnerable in the beginning and require high-quality feed to grow healthy and quickly.

Implementing artificial lactation is essential for all dairy farms, and below, we list the most important reasons::

 

Complete  control of the cost of rearing lamb: 

Since the lambs are raised in a separate area, we know their food consumption precisely until the age of their removal from the nursery.

Cost Reduction

By replacing mothers’ milk with a specialized powder, the cost of rearing lambs significantly decreases compared to the price of natural breast milk

Increased Milk Production

Farms using artificial lactation notice higher milk production and sustained duration due to the mother’s adaptation to the milking schedule and the elimination of separation stress from the immediate removal of newborns.

Saving time

Gathering newborn lambs in a confined space minimizes the time needed for their care and learning to nurse, leading to increased profits and reduced fatigue for farmers.

Improved Birth Conditions

Removing newborn lambs from their mothers enhances their physical condition, preventing breast injuries, exhaustion, and uneven milk production. Objective measurements of milk production aid in identifying the most productive animals for better farm efficiency.

Enhanced Herd Health

Immediate removal of newborns prevents the transmission of communicable diseases from mother to lamb, contributing to better herd health and increased yields over time.

Proper and safe development

Lambs raised through artificial lactation have access to fresh, nutritious milk around the clock, ensuring their proper growth and development, irrespective of their mother’s physical condition or the number of offspring.
