I wouldn’t say there’s a hygiene issue here, pens are cleaned out inbetween sheep and limed, the main pen is possibly dirtier than it was before we fed silage but the ewes milk better than when we were all hay so we hardly put colostrum in a lamb these days.
I know from discussions with our vet and work done within a discussion group that here my usage is at the lower end of the spectrum and I was mearly wondering if it would be an issue going forward for the industry as a whole not just the top preforming 10% who have never treated or lost a lamb from watery mouth or had a case of joint ill.
