To prevent trace element deficiencies in growing lambs, most farmers now use many different methods of supplementing trace elements; from slow release boluses to oral drenches. A recent trial was conducted at a Farming Connect focus site (Pentre Farm in Llansoy, Usk) to compare three trace element supplementation methods, and their effect on the daily liveweight gain of purchased store lambs.

Join Farming Connect and vet Victoria Fisher from Farm First Vets to hear the results of this trial, as well as understanding the importance of maintaining the optimum level of trace elements, especially cobalt and selenium, in growing lambs.
