NatureWise® Lamb & Sheep Feed

Features

• Highly palatable to encourage rapid intake and growth of early-weaned lambs.
• Balanced energy and protein to aid in optimum growth.
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals to help provide the nutrients needed for growth.
• No added copper to help minimize risk of copper toxicity.
• Complete feed that can be fed as the sole ration or with limited roughage for the entire life of the lamb; or as a protein and energy feed for breeding or lactating sheep.

Before You Feed

• Feed by weight—not by volume.
• Weigh the feed in the container you will be using and subtract the weight of the container.

Feeding Instructions

• Start lambs at a rate of 1% of bodyweight per head per day (approx. 1/4 lb.).
• Gradually increase to 3% of bodyweight per head per day (approx. 3/4 lb.) over a period of 2 to 3 weeks.
• Feed free-choice hay to start and reduce hay as lambs come on feed.
• Feed breeding or lactating sheep to maintain desired body condition. Offer 1 lb. per 3 to 4 lbs. of milk produced.
• Lambs should be vaccinated for enterotoxemia before going on full feed.
• Feed to growing/finishing lambs as the sole ration.
• Introduce gradually to newly weaned lambs or those that have not been on high energy rations.
• Limited hay (1/4 to 1/2 lb. per head per day) may be fed.
• Salt should be available free choice.
• Have clean, fresh water available at all times.
