Directions for use

These pellets can be fed at up to 2% of bodyweight per day.
Although they incorporate effective fibre and are low in starch, they are very palatable, and it is recommended that an initial diet adaptation period be followed when starting to feed pellets to livestock.
To avoid problems with acidosis (grain poisoning), controlled and gradual introduction of the pellets is important, for animals to adapt and condition their gut to the 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 desired feed rate of up to 2.0% of bodyweight per day - with what forage is available to make up the balance of the total diet intake.
Ensure that clean fresh water is available always.
