Technical Information

Young lambs face challenges with weak immune systems and reliance on maternal colostrum for passive resistant protection (Lorenz et al., 2015). However, even with support from maternal immunoglobulins, lambs still exhibit high mortality rates. This vulnerability is further compounded by their inability to generate an immune response to antigens, rendering them highly susceptible to infections (Lorenz et al., 2015).

Research conducted in Ireland emphasises the importance of early and effective gut microbiome supplementation to ensure the survival and health of young lambs. Probiotic supplementation is vital in establishing a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for developing the gut immune system in newborn lambs (Morrow-Tesch et al., 2006; Lorenz et al., 2015).

Studies conducted in the United Kingdom highlight the positive impact of probiotics on lamb health. These studies demonstrate the benefits of probiotics in improving gut health, enhancing immunity, and promoting overall lamb survival rates (Angell et al., 2017).

  1. coli infections pose a significant risk to newborn lambs, often leading to diarrhoea and subsequent mortality. Research published in the Irish Veterinary Journal underscores the impact of E. coli infections on lamb mortality, particularly in vulnerable newborns (Angell et al., 2017). However, a balanced and healthy gut microbiome, achieved through probiotic supplementation, can help protect against E. coli infections and promote overall lamb health and well-being (Gaggìa et al., 2018).

Establishing a diverse and beneficial gut microbiome is crucial for newborn lambs. Probiotics introduce beneficial microorganisms that contribute to developing a healthy gut microbiome in young lambs. This colonisation process improves gut health, enhances nutrient absorption, and strengthens the immune system (Morrow-Tesch et al., 2006; Angell et al., 2017; Gaggìa et al., 2018).

In summary, research has shown that early and effective gut microbiome supplementation, including the use of probiotics, can play a significant role in ensuring the health and survival of young lambs. The establishment of a diverse and beneficial gut microbiome promotes gut health, enhances immunity, and contributes to improved overall lamb well-being (Lorenz et al., 2015; Angell et al., 2017; Morrow-Tesch et al., 2006; Gaggìa et al., 2018).
