Why a Weak Start Is So Dangerous
Newborn lambs have virtually no fat reserves. If they do not drink quickly, body temperature drops and the suckling reflex diminishes. Every hour counts.
Why a Weak Start Is So Critical
Newborn lambs have virtually no energy reserves. If they do not drink colostrum quickly enough, hypothermia and increasing suckling weakness threaten.
Energy Deficiency
Without rapid energy supply, the lamb becomes hypothermic and increasingly weaker.
Loss of Suckling Reflex
Hypothermic lambs no longer drink independently – a vicious cycle begins.
Lack of Immune Protection
Without sufficient colostrum, passive immunity is missing – pathogens have an easy target.
Why Weak Lambs Occur
In practice, several factors work together. Three causes are particularly common.
1
Multiple Births & Ewe Deficiency
With triplets or weak ewes, colostrum is often insufficient for all lambs.
2
Hypothermia & Barn Climate
Cold pens or drafts rob the lamb of vital warmth in the first hours.
3
Difficult Birth
Prolonged births and oxygen deficiency weaken the lamb. The suckling reflex is delayed.
The Earlier, the Better!
