Survey of Lamb Fostering Methods Used in UK Farming Practices

March 2008

The following survey has been planned to assess how often fostering lambs onto other ewes occurs in UK sheep farms, how it is achieved and which methods are most successful. These results can then be used to compare popular and successful methods in terms of production and animal welfare. The results of the survey will be analysed and made available for interested parties.
