New lamb supplement launched to give newborns strong start

The producer, Nettex, said that its Lamb Shield is a highly concentrated energy source that aims to help lambs thrive with body heat production. Its multi-purpose formulation also supports gut health and immune response.

The inclusion of egg proteins and selenised yeast supports healthy gut development with the availability of favourable bacteria. Paired with vitamins A, D and E, Lamb Shield also helps maintain the integrity and optimum function of the reproductive, muscular, nervous, and immune systems.

Combination of energy, vitamins and gut support 

Livestock farmer and product manager for Nettex, Emily Hall, said: “Lamb Shield is a great product to have in your lambing toolkit to help uplift newborn lambs, especially those who need a nutrient boost to thrive. The combination of energy, vitamins and gut support act as an insurance policy to get lambs off to a strong start.”

Lamb Shield is available in a 100ml pump bottle for quick and easy administration. Lambs requiring an energy boost should be administered 4ml orally.
