BEEF FEED
CALF PELLET
Beef Calf Pellet
Woods Beef Calf Pellet is a medicated stock feed suitable for calves over one (1) month of age that have had adequate colostrum and milk from their mothers or replacement milk powder. It is designed as a complete feed for early weaned calves or a supplement to calves being creep fed while on their mothers until they reach 140kg live weight.
This pellet is composed of milled grains, protein meals/pulse seeds (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, canola meal, faba beans, chickpeas and/or mung beans), fibre and other food by-products (hulls, millrun, biscuit meal, etc.), macro-minerals, trace minerals and vitamins. Typically Woods Beef Calf Pellet contains 30mg/kg Monensin (Rumensin®) sodium, a rumen modifier that helps against coccidiosis and improves feed conversion. This product does not contain urea.
Feeding Guidelines
Animals that have not been accustomed to grain feeding must be introduced gradually or it may cause bloat, rumen acidosis and/or possible death. As a creep feed, supply ad lib in troughs or self-feeders while limiting access to cows.
As an early weaner feed, allow Woods Beef Calf Pellet in troughs or self-feeders until calves reach 140kg live weight. After that, limit feed pellet to 1.5 to 2% live weight to prevent rumen acidosis while supplying good quality pasture, hay or silage.
