Directions for use

During the introduction period it is critical there is enough feeder space to allow all lambs to eat at the same time.
When introducing stock to RIVERINA LAMB FEEDLOT PELLETS, feed intakes should be increased gradually over a 2 to 3 week period to minimise the risk of acidosis.
When using self feeders the adjustment of the slides is very important so that the target intakes below are achieved.
The slides should be adjusted to a pencil width when feeding starts.
Always ensure stock have access to clean, cool, fresh water at all times.
Good quality hay or pasture must be available at all times to ensure lambs and sheep have good roughage intakes.
