Colostrum milked from anotherfreshly lambed ewe is the next best option. Ifthat is also not possible then fresh cow colostrumfrom a cow just calved will do. If that failsthen colostrum substitutes are available butare expensive and not as effective.Lambs should get at least one day (500ml) ofcolostrum fed in 6 to 8 feeds before milk replaceris started but any you can get into thelamb (even as little as 30ml) will help.Colostrum replacer is available (jumpstart) which can be used if no fresh is available and it is suggested to give a lamb colostrum for the 1st 4 days as this is what it would naturally have with its mother.It also suggests weight of lamb-amount of colostrum ratio .
