    Neighbor had the rep around selling this for newborn lambs - Colitox. Meant to give them antibodies to ensure they stay strong in the first few weeks. €40 treats 100 lambs, so I suppose if it saves 1 or 2 it's not a bad investment. Anyone ever used it?

    Don't know what it's supposed to cover them for but I would give them plenty of colostrum and buy myself a big bottle of Jameson

    A gimmick, nothing will make a lamb live like colostrum, we give anything a bit weak, or triplets a squirt of spectam that keeps them right, don't waste your money
