              An enhanced nutritional package and improved mixing characteristics
                are the key benefits for flockmasters from the newly formulated
                Trouw Nutrition Milkivit Denkamilk lamb milks for the 2007 lambing
              season.

              Both the highly digestible skim-based Lamb Traditional
                and the high energy (30% oil) whey-based Lacto Lamb are now fully
                fortified with a nutritional booster package to give lambs a
                better start. The milks also benefit from better mixing and stability
                characteristics, says the company. 
                 
                “The two distinctive milks benefit particularly from extra
                natural vitamin E for greater lamb vigour and immunity,” explains
                product manager Jessica Miller from Trouw Nutrition. 
                 
                “There is considerable evidence that vitamin E has a considerable
                impact on the performance of lambs. But we now know that natural
                forms of vitamin E are retained better and for longer than synthetic
                sources. Indeed, the availability of natural vitamin E for use
                by the body is around double that of synthetic forms,” she
                points out 
                 
                “We have also included Beta Glucans in the milks – these
                are powerful molecules that help optimise growth and performance.
                Both products also benefit from the addition of Protimax – proven
                concentrated albumins rich in specific proteins that will help
                lambs meet the challenges of early life on UK farms. The aim
                with the range is to mirror ewe milk as closely as possible,
                but add appropriate nutritional enhancements to ensure lambs
                that don’t have access to ewe milk following colostrums
                still get the best chance of a flying start. And if you give
                them the best start, we know you will improve lifetime feeding
                efficiency and vigour,” she says. 
                 
                The Milkivit Denkamilk range is also fully acidified, which keeps
                the products fresh after mixing for up to 24 hours and allows
                the milk to be fed cool ad-lib through simple teat feeders without
                over consumption. 
                 
Both Lamb Traditional and Lacto Lamb are available in large and small packs,
with free-flow variations available for automatic feeding machines.
