Directions for use

Pasture should be in abundant supply and sheep should have access to a reliable supply of clean water at all times.
For best results start supplementation before sheep start losing weight.

INTRODUCTION

To satisfy the cravings that the sheep may have, initially feed salt in well drained troughs for a minimum of a week. Feed until intakes reduce to less than 20g/head/day.
Then provide PASTUREPRO® SHEEP in well drained or open ended troughs or half drums.
Troughs should initially be a minimum of 200m away from the watering points.

FEEDING

After several days move the troughs/drums out into the paddock and well away from the water points. This will reduce intakes and encourage stock to graze the paddocks.
Do not allow troughs to be emptied. This can lead to urea toxicity as sheep can over-consume when troughs are refilled.
To help boost breeding performance feed 6-8 weeks prior to mating.
Do not feed with any other urea sources, such as liquid supplements, pellets, blocks etc.
Monitor intakes closely when starting sheep to avoid excessive intakes of urea.
Protect feeding points from weather.

RECOMMENDED INTAKE

ADULT SHEEP: 50g/head/day
Pasture quality, animal mineral status and condition will influence the level of intake.
Refer to “Advice and Warnings for Feeding Dry Supplements”.

DISCONTINUE FEEDING IF INTAKES EXCEED

100g / head / day and contact your local Riverina representative for more detailed information.
