Lamb Adoption Spray

Lamb Adoption Spray is a practical post-lambing management aid developed to support the fostering of orphaned, surplus or transferred lambs by another ewe. By reducing or masking the natural individual odours of the ewe and lamb, the spray can help minimize scent-related rejection during the introduction process.

The ready-to-use spray format allows convenient application in lambing sheds, maternity pens and commercial goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep breeding facilities. It is especially useful where flock managers need to redistribute lambs between ewes to improve milk availability, litter balance and newborn lamb management.

Ewes recognize their lambs partly through scent. During fostering, unfamiliar odours may contribute to rejection of a lamb that was not originally born to the ewe.

Lamb Adoption Spray is applied according to product instructions to reduce the difference between the natural odours of the foster ewe and lamb. This helps create a more uniform scent environment during introduction and can support the ewe's acceptance of the foster lamb.

The spray is a management aid and should be combined with appropriate supervision, controlled penning and observation of ewe-lamb behaviour during the fostering period.

In commercial sheep production, lamb adoption can help balance litter size between ewes, improve access to maternal milk and reduce dependence on artificial rearing. Lamb Adoption Spray can form part of a standardized post-lambing management system together with lambing pens, colostrum equipment, feeding bottles, stomach tubes, warming equipment and identification tools.

For large breeding operations, maintaining adoption supplies at the lambing facility allows staff to respond quickly when fostering opportunities arise.
