Features & Benefits
- These pellets include a specific sheep mineral and vitamin premix.
- This also includes Bovatec as a rumen modifier for improved liveweight gains and feed conversion efficiency, and as an aid in reducing faecal shedding of coccidian of Eimeria spp. in sheep maintained in confinement.
- The pellets contain Acid Buf as a buffer to aid in the prevention of rumen acidosis (grain poisoning).

Directions for use
- These grain-based, low fibre Lamb pellets pellets are designed to be fed to weaned lambs from approx. 3 months of age, or from a minimum of 15kg liveweight.
- To avoid problems with acidosis (grain poisoning), controlled and gradual introduction of the pellets is important, and continual access by the animals to a fibre source is critical for proper rumen function.
- Animals require an introduction period to adapt and condition their gut to the grain-based pellets.
- Give special attention to controlling the introduction of pellets to excessively hungry or drought-affected stock.
- As an introduction, feed small controlled amounts (about 0.2% of bodyweight per animal per day to begin with) and slowly increase the daily amount over 10 days up to the normal freechoice feed rate for growing/finishing lambs of 2.0% of bodyweight per head per day, with forage fibre available to make up the balance of the total diet intake.
- The pellets can be fed out in troughs or self-feeders in a confined feedlot or grain-assist situation.
- They must always be fed in conjunction with fibre forages, such as cereal hay or straw, and slides on self-feeders should be adjusted to regulate intake. Ensure that clean fresh water is always available.
