Sernick Precision Pregnant Ewe Pellets were formulated to meet the needs of the ewe throughout the final third of gestation. During this period (45 days), 70% of fetus and udder development takes place, and optimal feeding of the ewe is crucial.
The development of secondary wool follicles in lambs occurs during the last 6 weeks of gestation and the first 4 weeks of lactation. This development is largely influenced by the ewe’s feed during this period.
In addition, the rumen must be adapted to higher energy feed levels in the lambing pens. Malnutrition during this period can lead to acidosis, pregnancy toxaemia, and milk fever in ewes around lambing time.
