Feeding Guide
- As a low-fibre / high grain supplement, the pellets are designed for feeding at up to 1% of bodyweight per day, in conjunction with fibre forage and roughage.
- They can be trailed out sparsely in long runs or fed from self-feeders with slides set right down to control intake.
- When commencing to feed pellets, an introductory adaptation period over 2 weeks is recommended to condition the rumen to the pellet ingredients.
- Do not overfeed these pellets.
- Controlled and gradual 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% of bodyweight per day, with fibre forage always available to make up the balance of the total diet intake.
- Ensure that clean fresh water is available at all times.
