SCA Shepherdess Orphan Lamb Feeder Provides a simple system of delivering warm fresh milk to lambs 24 hours a day

Found to be very effective and reliable in the feeding of orphan lambs, which thrive on this machine, maintaining very tight skins, little belly and improved growth rates without digestive upsets.

Eliminates the need for frequent bottle feeding from day 1

Milk is kept at an even temperature

Each feeder will service upto 20 lambs

Lambs under 3 weeks of age will take to the feeder when hungry without assistance

The first suck is of warm milk

Reduces digestive problems and set-backs

Lambs more than match the performance of those suckling a ewe

Weaning can be carried out abruptly at 5 weeks of age

Unaffected by freezing conditions

Can be used in any location with a 240V electrical supply

Running costs are a few pence per week due to effective insulation and temperature control.

Reduces physical handling of the lambs and possibility of transmitting infections (eg.Orf), and reduces stress
