With cattle now housed, silage mineral analysis is a powerful tool to optimise your rations. Here’s what to watch for:

- Magnesium Shortfalls: Many farms find silage provides less than half the magnesium needed for pregnant suckler cows.
- Trace Element Deficiencies: Copper, zinc, cobalt, and selenium often need boosting - especially before calving.
- Tailor mineral supplements to your herd's needs.

Remember, pre-calving minerals differ from those for finishing animals. A little planning now will pay off with healthier, productive cattle!

Ensuring optimal nutrition for ewes during lambing is crucial for flock success. Feed requirements vary throughout the ewe's cycle, with late pregnancy playing a significant role in lamb health and ewe viability.

Adequate feeding in the final 6-8 weeks pre-lambing is essential, as it influences lamb birth weight, colostrum supply, and overall health. Ewes carrying twins may require double the energy and protein intake, but reduced rumen space can hinder nutrient absorption from forage alone.

Supplementary feeding, tailored to forage availability and pregnancy stage, is often necessary to ensure balanced nutrition and support optimal lambing outcomes.

Good housing is vital for sheep health during the colder months. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent respiratory issues like pneumonia, but avoid draughts at sheep level. Keep bedding dry and clean to reduce risks of foot problems and infections, like foot rot, while helping your flock stay warm.

Sheep need extra energy to maintain body condition in winter—monitor forage quality and provide additional supplements, such as mineral buckets, to support health and productivity. Ensure enough space in housing to minimise stress and reduce competition for feed.

Prepare now for healthier, thriving sheep through the cold season!

Extreme weather is reshaping UK farming, from devastating floods to scorching heatwaves. Heavy rains like those from Storm Babet have washed away grazing land, while droughts in Wales have driven feed costs sky-high. Unpredictable seasons also mean rising challenges with pests, parasites, and soil degradation.

But UK farmers are rising to the challenge with smart, sustainable solutions like rotational grazing, cover cropping, and rainwater harvesting. These strategies not only protect yields but also build resilience for the future.

The road ahead is tough, but with innovation and action, we can ensure UK agriculture thrives in a changing climate.

As BRD (Bovine Respiratory Disease) primarily involves viruses & bacteria, it’s natural to focus on these pathogens when designing a control programme, and vaccines do have an valuable role. But success also requires providing young cattle with an appropriate environment, minimal stress and optimal nutrition so they can combat the challenges.."

During the second and third months of pregnancy, foetal growth is relatively small with lambs reaching only 15-30% of their birth weight, however placental growth is rapid with the placenta being fully developed around scanning time.Nutrition has a major impact on placental development which cannot be compensated for later on in pregnancy; failing to meet requirements and loss of BCS during this period can ultimately restrict lamb growth and development, with subsequent impacts on lamb vigour and survival. Alongside energy, protein is particularly important as it provides the building-blocks of hormones and growth factors essential to help ensure efficient transfer of nutrients from the ewe to her lambs.
