Abstract

Background: Weaning has long been considered a stressful time for both lambs and ewes and, as such, many problems can be encountered during this time. The timing of weaning is generally when lambs reach ages of between 12 and 14 weeks; however, rather than being a fixed time event this should be based on the grazing available, ewe body condition score and lamb growth rates.

Aim of the article: This article discusses common issues encountered by both ewes and lambs at weaning time and outlines how to minimise these problems.
