## Resource

Dr. Charlotte Winder joins Flock Talk to discuss colostrum and early life health in sheep. Charlotte gives an overview of her job, her research program, projects and what lead her to focus on colostrum and early life health in sheep. Charlotte goes in depth to discuss a current research project on the impact of transfer of passive immunity and the various assessments made on farm for better growth in lamb survival. Charlotte gives producers key takeaways, talks about the Brix refractometer which is an on-farm tool used to measure colostrum quality and what producers should be doing to help maximize colostrum management. Charlotte talks about the role veterinarians play in improving colostrum management and where they can have the biggest impact, and why there is a gap between what research recommends and what's happening practically on farm plus much more!!
