Summary:
- Researchers have developed edible shelters made from biodegradable materials that can be placed in sheep paddocks to protect lambs from harsh weather conditions.
- These shelters provide a warm, dry environment for newborn lambs, which can significantly improve their chances of survival, especially during cold, wet, or windy weather.
- The shelters are designed to be easily moved and replaced, allowing farmers to provide protection for their lambs throughout the lambing season without creating permanent structures.
