Abstract
Background: The neonatal period is acknowledged to be the riskiest phase of rearing for the loss of lambs with adaption to the extrautero world, an appropriate environment, successful passive transfer, overcoming the threat of pathogen challenge and a strong maternal‐neonatal interaction essential for success. Unfortunately, despite significant research and focus on this phase, there haven't been significant improvements in lamb survival in recent years.Aim of the article: This article considers the obstacles to implementing change on sheep farms and reviews the evidence base for recommendations to be used on farm.
