Reducing Lamb Death Loss: Management Matters

By Dr. Kelsey Bentley, Small Ruminant Extension Specialist, Kansas State University Lamb death loss is one of the biggest drains on flock profitability, and the difference between a 5–10 percent loss and a 15 percent loss is usually management, not bad luck. Thinking ahead about nutrition, health, facilities, and close observation during lambing can turn more pregnancies into marketable lambs rather than losses.

When Are Lambs Lost?

Most lamb mortality is clustered in late gestation and the first few weeks of life. Stillbirths account for about a quarter of losses at or near lambing, while “normal” preterm loss from noninfectious causes is only about 2 – 4 percent. Up to 80 percent of all lamb crop loss (including fullterm stillborns) happens from birth to two weeks of age, when lambs are most vulnerable to stress and disease. The major culprits are abortion diseases, pregnancy toxemia, difficult births, starvation, hypothermia, scours, pneumonia, and predation. Even a simple habit of writing down abortion rate, ewe death loss, stillborns, and newborn mortality each year helps you see patterns and decide where management changes will make the biggest difference.

Pre-Lambing: Setting Lambs Up to Live Prevention starts before lambs ever hit the ground. In late gestation, a ewe in good body condition (BCS 2-3) carrying twins typically needs goodquality forage plus supplemental grain up to about 3 percent of body weight to meet her rising energy needs. Getting this plane of nutrition right helps prevent pregnancy toxemia, reduces the risk of stillborn lambs, and supports stronger ewes at lambing. When abortions or preterm stillborns creep above 2–4 percent, that is a red flag to work with your veterinarian. Submitting fetuses and placentas can identify abortion diseases such as Campylobacter, Chlamydia, or Toxoplasma so a targeted control and vaccination plan can be put in place instead of guessing. For producers here in Kansas, the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Lab does a wonderful job working with producers and their veterinarians to diagnose abortive diseases.

Health work before lambing also pays off in live lambs. Prelambing CDT vaccination, good foot care, and targeted parasite control help ewes come into lambing with less stress and better immunity. Culling ewes with chronic udder problems, especially “hard bag,” prevents the frustration of raising lambs from mothers that cannot produce enough milk. In short, every decision you make in the last six weeks of gestation shows up in lamb vigor and survival when lambs hit the ground.

The Critical First 24 Hours The first day of life is the most dangerous time for a lamb, and it is also where good shepherds can have the greatest impact. Colostrum is the cornerstone. A 10pound lamb should receive roughly 20–30 ounces of colostrum in the first 24 hours, divided into several feedings, with as much as possible offered 8 | Tunis Times

in the first hours after birth. Colostrum provides both dense energy and the antibodies that jumpstart the lamb’s immune system. Lambs that miss this window are much more likely to die from scours, pneumonia, or vigor issues later on.

Temperature goes hand-in-hand with colostrum. A normal lamb temperature is about 102–103 °F; mild chill is 99–101 °F, and severe hypothermia is below 99 °F. Severely chilled lambs should be warmed first (using a warming box, heat source, or intraperitoneal injection of warm dextrose) before any tube feeding is attempted, because tubing a severely cold lamb can trigger shock and death. Many producers use a simple “clip–dip–strip–sip” routine: trim and dip navels in strong iodine or betadine to prevent infection, strip teats to remove wax plugs and confirm milk flow, and make sure each lamb is up and nursing within 30–60 minutes. In barn systems, keeping the lambing area around 35–40 °F with good ventilation and housing ewe–lamb pairs in jugs for at least 48 hours allows close observation and intervention before small problems become dead lambs.

Facilities, Predators, and Weak Lambs How you manage barns and pastures has a big influence on whether vulnerable lambs survive. In the barn, clean drop pens followed by 4×4 or 6×6 lambing jugs give ewes a quiet space to bond with lambs and make it easier for you to spot trouble early. Wet grafting or the use of oxytocin is a useful tool to even up litters: for example, moving a triplet onto a ewe that lost her lamb or has extra milk can turn a highrisk lamb into a thriving one. When it is clear that a ewe does not have enough milk, making a decision about artificial rearing within the first 24 hours improves the lamb’s chances.

On pasture or range, weather and predators become just as important as colostrum and milk.

Timing lambing to avoid the worst storms, providing windbreaks or natural shelter, and keeping pairs on welldrained ground help reduce chilling and disease. At the same time, young lambs on range are highly attractive to coyotes and other predators. Investments in predator control, like tight fencing, guard dogs, donkeys, or llamas, and sometimes professional control assistance, can save a surprising number of lambs over the course of a season. No matter the system, training your eye to recognize a weak lamb is crucial. Lambs that are hunched, hollowbellied, unusually quiet, shivering, or coldmouthed are at high risk of starvation and hypothermia and should be warmed and given colostrum or milk without delay.

As lambs grow, offering creep feed starting around 2–3 weeks of age supports rumen development and improves weaning weights. This not only adds pounds at sale time but also helps lambs handle the stress of weaning with fewer setbacks, getting more value from each lamb you managed to keep alive in those early days.

You Can’t Fix What You Don’t Measure Behind all of these practices is one simple tool: good records. A basic lambing notebook or a spreadsheet can tell you more about your flock than any guess ever will. Recording ewe and lamb IDs, date and time of birth, assistance at delivery, and any problems or treatments gives you a detailed picture of how each season went. Adding notes on mothering ability, lamb vigor, and every lamb loss with a suspected cause helps you evaluate which ewes to keep, which rams are siring hardy lambs, and which management changes are actually paying off.

Over several lambing seasons, these records reveal trends. You may notice, for example, that improving lategestation nutrition coincided with fewer stillbirths, or that adjusting lambing dates reduced exposure to severe weather and predator losses. With that information, you can steadily move toward the goal of 5–10 percent lamb loss instead of 15 percent or higher. In a tightmargin business, those extra live lambs can be the difference between a breakeven year and a profitable one.
