Good rationing is the basis of efficient production. For sheep and lambs, the quality of the roughage and its intake are central. To promote smooth development and meat production, it is essential to carefully assess the ration and supplement it where necessary. Insufficient supplementation can lead to slow development and lower efficiency. Excessive or incorrect supplementation, on the other hand, can result in overload of the organs, increased susceptibility to disease or claw problems. These problems are often caused by overfeeding and inefficient waste disposal by the animal. Moreover, too high food costs do not increase efficiency.
