[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7925281, member: 461"] Iodine deficiency can have a marked effect on impaired viability of new-born lambs. It's an essential component of Thyroxine, and any deficiency has a marked effect on the ''get-up-and-go factor in lambs, and possibly reduces the ewes' willingness to get on and lamb once contractions start. The banning of Fishmeal in diets for pregnant ewes was a disaster, because ( unlike Soya) it was a very good source of readily available Iodine. And that, rather than it's high content of bi-pass protein, was probably why shepherds valued it so highly. Do any crofters in the Western Isles still give whole dried fish to their ewes????? (If I loos another two yoos, I'll haff a 200% lambin) [/QUOTE]
