Скачать или смотреть Tech in 10 - Episode 37: Lamb Health Essentials: Infection Pressure & Our Advanced Gut Stabiliser

In Episode 37 of Tech in 10, Ryan Duffy and Tommy Heffernan take a deep dive into lamb health, covering everything from colostrum management and ewe nutrition to environmental hygiene and the role of Precision Microbes’ Advanced Gut Stabiliser (AGS) for newborn lambs.

With lambing season pressure, high infection loads, and fast-multiplying pathogens like E. coli and Streptococcus, this episode focuses on the practical steps every flock can take to drive immunity up and infection pressure down.

Colostrum & Nutrition
•⁠ ⁠Why sheep colostrum has the highest solids (≈19%) of any farm species
•⁠ ⁠Target values on a Brix refractometer: over 24% for sheep
•⁠ ⁠Ideal colostrum volumes: 50 ml/kg in 2 hrs, 100 ml/kg in 4 hrs, 200 ml/kg in 24 hrs
•⁠ ⁠Why late-pregnancy ewe nutrition (energy + protein) drives colostrum quality
•⁠ ⁠Understanding agalactia, poor milk supply & twin lamb disease

Infection Pressure & Hygiene
•⁠ ⁠Main infection sources: oral contamination, dirty udders, bedding, environment
•⁠ ⁠Why E. coli multiplies every 20 minutes — and how numbers explode into the millions
•⁠ ⁠Strep dysgalactiae and joint ill: why gloves matter
•⁠ ⁠Managing damp, moisture & poor drainage — the conditions pathogens love
•⁠ ⁠Water systems: header tanks, pipes, TBC counts & flow rates

Cold Stress & Early Lamb Care
•⁠ ⁠Warming boxes, energy supplementation, and spare colostrum
•⁠ ⁠Why bovine colostrum isn’t always suitable — including autoimmune anaemia risk

Precision Microbes Advanced Gut Stabiliser (AGS)
•⁠ ⁠A triple-action prebiotic, probiotic & postbiotic complementary feed
•⁠ ⁠Designed for lambs from birth, 6 ml orally
•⁠ ⁠Helps promote healthy gut microbiota & protect against pathogenic pressure
•⁠ ⁠Supports lower replication of harmful bacteria (E. coli & others)
•⁠ ⁠A biological alternative that reduces reliance on oral antibiotics
•⁠ ⁠Includes the probiotic Enterococcus faecium for strong early gut development
•⁠ ⁠300 ml bottle = 50 doses, with an easy-use applicator
