p e r p g n i b Pre lam t n u o m a r is pa As lambing season nears, it’s a good time to review dietary protein levels, since udder development and milk supply are particularly sensitive to protein nutrition.

If your forage is low in protein, feeding Thompsons' Super Hi-Lamb Ewe Nuts for the next 2-3 weeks will correct the protein shortfall at the critical stage of pregnancy, when there is a spurt in lamb development and the ewe requires key nutrients.

For further help and advice, contact Thompsons' Technical Team or your local sales representative.
