SHEEP FEED
STARTER PELLET
Sheep Starter Pellet
Woods Sheep Starter Pellet is a medicated stock feed suitable to be fed to sheep over 35kg live weight going into feedlot. It was formulated to provide essential nutrients to Lambs going into feedlot prior to changing to Woods Sheep Finisher Pellet.
Woods Sheep Starter 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, biscuit meal, etc.), macro-minerals, trace minerals and vitamins.
Typically, Woods Sheep Starter Pellet contains 33mg/kg of Lasalocid sodium, a rumen modifier that helps improve feed conversion efficiency.
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. Before supplying this medium high grain ration, preferably feed sheep palatable grass/cereal hay for 1 or 2 days to ensure rumen fill and adequate rumination.
Give sheep free access to Woods Sheep Starter Pellets in troughs or self-feeders for first 10 to 14 days. Then gradually shift to Woods Sheep Finisher Pellets.
