Feeding Guide

RIVERINA 14% STUD CATTLE PELLETS / MEAL can be fed at 0.5-1.5% bodyweight / head / day using:

Troughs – split amount to be fed between 2 feeds. It is critical to have enough trough space for all animals to eat at the same time.
Self-Feeders – the slides initially should be adjusted to a finger width to restrict intakes. Gradually increase slide width to allow more access to the feed over a 2 month period. Feeders should be placed at the opposite end of the paddock to water troughs to promote grazing. Feed intakes should be monitored especially when commencing to feed.
Partial Mixed Ration – Can be mixed with silage/hay and other ingredients to form a complete or partial mixed ration to be fed in a semi feedlot situation.

Typical Program

Start background feeding RIVERINA 14% STUD CATTLE PELLETS / MEAL 6 months prior to sale. Commence feeding at 0.5% of body weight. This can be gradually increased over a couple of months to 1.0% of body weight.
2 months prior to sale the cattle can be put into yards to finish them. At this time feeding levels can be increased to 1.5% of body weight and fed in conjunction with good quality grassy hay supplied ad lib in hay racks.
Ensure that there is continuous access to fresh, cool, clean water.
When feeding cattle, high grain feeds should be gradually introduced, to allow the rumen to adapt and to avoid acidosis / grain poisoning. For stud cattle it is recommended that this be done over at least 2 months.

NOTE: There are many factors involved in the preparation of stud cattle for sale, so contact your Riverina representative for more complete advice on how to feed your stud cattle.
