Good grass quality from well managed land ensures sufficient supplies of  quality milk is produced for the lambs, increasing growth rates.

After weaning lambs can gain about 1kg/week on good grazing without any supplementary feed.

Research suggests that ewes eating a diet high in protein and energy in the weeks leading up to tupping will achieve higher scanning percentages

lameness hugely affects productivity levels so regular foot trimmings/baths to control foot rot is important

In a lambs first 24hrs, it needs to consume 10% of body weight in colostrum

# data[].attributes.body
protozoa and endoparasites such as coccidiossis are more prevalent when poor colostrum is given, stocking rates are high and lambs are not housed age appropriately.

Lambs <1 week old are at greatest risk, and tend to die of exposure hypothermia, starvation, septicaemia consequent upon inadequate colostrum intake

Lambs born per ewe lambing increased curvilinearly with age of ewe, from 100+% at 1 year to 160% at 6 years and back to 135% at 9 years.

overweight ewes struggle to lamb, regular BCS of the ewes warrants easy lambing

Ewes that weighed 58 kg at mating produced 152 lambs per 100 ewes compared with a lambing percentage of 107 by ewes that weighed 44 kg. However, when the lambs reached 10 weeks of age there was little difference in their numbers

High birth weights increase the risk of lamb losses. Ensure ewes are fed according to litter size and avoid underfeeding or overfeeding, this will ensure optimum lamb birth weights, i.e. not too light or too heavy.

nutritional deficiencies such as copper, cobalt and selenium reduce lamb performance and sudden changes in diet can be fatal - new feed needs to be slowly introduced so they can adapt

# data[].attributes.body
The percentage of lambs reaching marketable weight (32 kg) before the end of the pasture season was related directly to the liveweight gain of the ewe during mid-pregnancy, and inversely to the proportion of lambs reared as twins

# data[].attributes.body
it takes 6-8 weeks of grazing on good grass to gain one body condition score, therefore ewes need a good amount of time to recover after weaning to be fit for tupping

# data[].attributes.body
From eight weeks of age, a lamb’s energy intake is greater from grass than from milk, so competition for high-quality grass between ewes and lambs reaches a critical point

# data[].attributes.body
70% of a lambs birthweight is gained in the last 6 weeks, so good nutrition to the ewes in this time is important
