Directions for use

These grain-based, low fibre Sheep pellets are designed to boost the diet of sheep at a feeding rate of up to 2.0% of bodyweight per day, fed out in troughs or self-feeders in a confined shed situation.
They must be fed in conjunction with fibre forages, such as cereal hay or straw, at all times, and slides on self-feeders should be adjusted to regulate intake.
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 feed rate for sheep of 2.0% of bodyweight per head per day, with fibre always available to make up the balance of the total diet intake.
Ensure that clean fresh water is available at all times.
