Feeding Guide
- As a low-fibre, high grain supplement, these pellets are designed for feeding at up to 1-2% of bodyweight per day in troughs or self-feeders, in conjunction with good forage fibre. Ideal for calf creep feeding at 1-2 kg per day.
- When commencing to feed pellets, an adaptation period is recommended to condition the rumen to the pellet ingredients. Do not overfeed these pellets.
- Slides on self-feeders should be adjusted down to regulate intake.
- Controlled feeding is important and continuous access to fibre sources is critical for proper rumen function.
- Give special attention to controlling the introduction of pellets to excessively hungry or drought-affected stock.
- During the introduction, start to offer pellets at 0.2% of bodyweight per day and slowly increase the daily amount over 10-14 days up to around 1-2% of bodyweight per day, with forage fibre always available to make up the balance of the total diet intake. Ensure that clean fresh water is available at all times.
