Description:

Dr. Tim Keady is on the latest OviCast podcast to discuss feeding the ewe during mid-pregnancy and its impact on productivity. 

 

Tim outlines the energy requirements of the ewe during this phase, we discuss the impact of grass supply and feed value in outdoor scenarios and the impact of different qualities of silages indoors. 

 

Tim also talks about mobilising reserves, potential condition score loss and the impact that can have on next year’s lamb performance. 

 

We finish up discussing feed management introducing supplementation to thinner ewes and planning ahead for next year.
