Reduced Antibiotic Use in Lambs
Some practical steps to reduce antibiotic use for watery mouth and joint ill in lambs:
• Ensure sufficient intake of good quality colostrum quickly after birth from ewes fed a well-balanced diet
• Practice good hygiene - clean and disinfect equipment
• Minimise stress of new born lambs
If lambs are indoors ensure housing is:
• Draught-free
• Clean and dry
• Has sufficient bedding available
• Turn-out lambs as soon as possible
• Ensure lambs have sufficient shelter outside
Some flocks have had great success in only using oral antibiotics in triplets, or from the second or third use of individual pens (with cleaning out and disinfection).
Some farms have partial or full resistance to the drugs in oral antibiotic preparations for lambs. Speak to a vet if you are worried about this issue or want help in reducing antibiotic use on farm.
