SHEEP FEED
MAINTENANCE PELLET
Sheep Maintenance Pellet
Woods Sheep Maintenance Pellet is a medicated stock feed suitable for all sheep over 15kg live weight when very limited forage is available. It is designed for maintaining body condition in growing and adult sheep during drought conditions. It is also suitable for the preparation of sale rams. This feed has increased levels of sulphur for adequate wool growth.
The Woods Sheep Maintenance Pellet is composed of milled grains, protein meals/pulse seeds (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, palm kernel meal, canola meal, faba beans, chickpeas and/or mung beans), fibre and other food by-products (hulls, millrun and/or biscuit meal), macro-minerals, trace minerals and vitamins. Typically Woods Sheep Maintenance Pellet contains 30mg/kg Lasalocid sodium, a rumen modifier that helps improve feed conversion.
Feeding Guidelines
Sheep that have not been accustomed to grain feeding must be introduced gradually or it may cause bloat, rumen acidosis and/or possible death. Woods Sheep Maintenance Pellet should be limit fed to growing sheep over 15kg and non-lactating ewes to target daily intake of around 0.9 to 1.1% of body weight to maintain body condition.
For lactating ewes, limit feed to around 2% body weight in early lactation and reduce to around 1.8% body weight in late lactation. Introduce feed gradually to sale rams not accustomed to grain rations. Provide up to 2% of bodyweight daily if fed as only feed or proportionally less if fed with limited medium quality chaffed hay.
Supply Woods Sheep Maintenance Pellet daily in troughs, conveyor belt or on the ground ensuring that all animals have adequate access to feed. Alternatively, supply pellet in lick self-feeders where intake can be controlled.
BENEFIT: To aid in prevention of 'water belly' in male sheep caused by large urinary calculi lodging in the urine tract, this feed includes ammonium chloride to help break down calculi.
