In organic farming, organic lambs are born and raised on organic farms. In their life cycle, during the first 4-5 weeks of life they are with their mother and feed exclusively with her milk. But, from this age onwards, organic feed for growth lambs begins to be offered in small quantities along with fodder and water so that they get used to the new diet that they will have once weaning is complete, which is around 45- 50 days of life, when the lamb is already capable of eating fodder and feed. At that time, her mother is already unable to produce the large amount of milk she would need to feed herself exclusively with her.
All food, both for lambs and sheep, must be organic and comply with current certifications so that lamb meat can bear the seal that distinguishes it as coming from organic farming, that is, as organic lamb. We can offer livestock farms a wide range of organic feed. Our specialist veterinarians formulate specific feed for the needs of each animal and the age in which they are, and we also customize the feed for the specific needs of each farmer according to their facilities, ages of their animals or any special circumstance that needs to be treated. particularly.
As we have said, it is very important to offer the animal the appropriate feed for its age, since not all of them are the same. Thus, our organic feed for lambs is specially formulated so that the animal grows in a healthy and healthy way, since the formulation is respectful of the natural growth of the animal, in addition to taking care of its health as it is only made with organic raw materials.
Sheep farming as an economic activity, culture and ecology
In the tradition of sheep farming, a series of very particular terms of the geographical region have been used by shepherds to designate a very specific type of animal according to its age and/or sex. Words like borrega, borra, andosca, trasandosca, primalas, añojos are used to designate the same animal. But there are many more, specific to each region (Aragón, Castilla, Cataluña, the Cantabrian mountain range…) All these words are a cultural richness of which livestock activity is the origin and maximum guarantee of its conservation.
On the other hand, sheep farming also plays a very important role in preventing forest fires, eating grasses and vegetable matter that, if it were not for grazing, would end up drying up in summer and being the ideal fuel for the feared fires.
This is why organic sheep farming is a commitment to the future for a top-quality local product that helps maintain the ecosystems where it grazes. Every day society is more aware of its diet, animal welfare and environmental conservation. In this way, organic feed contributes to fighting for environmental principles and respect for animal welfare that organic production requires.
