During the lactation period it is not uncommon that some lambs require specific treatments to overcome diarrhea proceses, as well as to learn to drink water, an essential condition to reduce post-weaning stress, which may affect their further development. There are cages that allow placing a water bucket inside, so suckling lambs in natural feeding may access through the bars to drink clean water or water with veterinary treatment, but sheep are not allowed to. The farmer can access from the top to clean, replace or fill the bucket.
