*Please note there are sound quality issues with this recording. We apologise for any inconvenience.* Lamb growth rate is one of the key drivers of prime lamb enterprise profit, but there is some evidence that they haven't improved for 40 years. Data coming from industry benchmarking services suggests that target benchmarks, and certainly the genetic potential of some lambs, of 300 to 400 grams per day are rarely being achieve in commercial flocks. In this webinar leading ruminant nutritionist Hamish Dickson unpacks the questions of 'What does it take to achieve 300g/day lamb growth rates from birth to sale? What pastures and management strategies are needed to realise the genetic potential of lambs?'. Hamish looks at assessing pasture quality, what management and nutritional strategies can be employed to cost effectively increase lamb growth rate and what to look for when selecting pastures to provide enough tenure of feed quality to finish lambs.
