FLEXIBLE – Formulated so that this supplement can be mixed with all grain types to provide a balanced feedlot ration.
CONVENIENT – Available in easy handling 1 tonne modules or in bulk.
QUALITY INGREDIENTS – The use of only the highest quality ingredients ensures palatability while minimizing dust and shrinkage in the finished ration.
QUALITY PRODUCT - Manufactured to strict quality control standards for incoming raw materials and the finished product. Formulated in accordance with current research into ruminant nutrition

Typical Composition

Molasses, limestone, urea and other nonprotein nitrogen sources, salt, ammonium sulphate, Rumensin®, Riverina ruminant vitamin & mineral premix. Base raw materials may gradually change seasonally.

Feeding Guide

DO NOT FEED IN CONCENTRATED FORM

Include at the rate of 4-5% (40 to 50 kg/tonne) of the total feedlot ration.
Inclusion rates are based on the total diet having 70-90% Dry Matter for cattle fed up to 120 days.
If young calves/cattle (under 300kg’s) are being fed, extra protein sources may be required.
Additional lime may need to be included in the mix for some classes of cattle, in order to ensure an optimal calcium level.

It is recommended that a rumen buffer be used in the ration during the starter phase as this will aid in the prevention of acidosis. Sodium bentonite at 2% or sodium bicarbonate at 0.5-1.0% of the ration is adequate.
Cattle must have access to clean, fresh water at all times.
To allow for uniformity of mixing it is desirable for the BOSSE FEEDLOT SUPPLEMENT to be the last ingredient added to the mixing wagon.
When feeding cattle high grain diets should be gradually introduced to the cattle to allow the rumen to adapt and to avoid acidosis/grain poisoning. Small amounts should be fed at first, slowly increasing over a 3 week period.

Days on Feed | Feedlot Mix | Concentrate | Roughage

1 - 2 | Nil | Nil | 100%

3 - 7 | 35% | 5% | 60%

8 - 12 | 45% | 5% | 50%

13 - 17 | 55% | 5% | 40%

18 - 22 | 65% | 5% | 30%

23 and over | 75% | 5% | 20%

MANAGEMENT

The adaption period where cattle are changed from grazing pasture to a high energy grain based diet is of critical importance. Refer to “Notes on Feedlotting Cattle” or contact your local Riverina representative for more detailed information.

Medication

This supplement contains Rumensin® which supplies monensin sodium at 360mg/kg on an ‘as fed’ basis for improved feed conversion efficiency.
