When markets are tight and sheep prices are fluctuating, there’s one thing that is certain – Condition is King. Getting the most efficient feed conversion, and liveweight gains will help lambs reach target weights earlier. This means better prices and less time in the feedlot.
As we all know, condition of sheep is crucial for sales. Buyers often look for sheep that are in optimal condition, which means they are healthy, well-fed, and have a good body condition score. Proper feeding and management practices are essential to achieve this.
When condition is king, LambGro® is an excellent feed solution. It offers excellent liveweight gains/cost/head, whilst being safe and easy to use. LambGro® is a nutritionally balanced 4mm pellet containing the necessary energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus to maximise lamb growth and increase survival rates. Formulated with higher protein and energy levels, it ensures sheep and lambs can increase BCS quickly and safely, from a convenient pelleted ration.
The inclusion of MAG Hyfibe® technology allows for maximal feed intake and growth rates while minimising the risk of acidosis typically associated with high-producing grain-based rations. Hyfibe® technology makes the stored nutrients more readily available for lamb growth and modifies rumen acidity, ensuring lambs grow faster without the negative effects associated with eating traditional full-grain rations.
How does LambGro® fit into your feeding program? It a complete feed that can be used in a feedlot setting or in lick feeders. LambGro® is designed to be fed ad lib to lambs from 9 weeks of age. It should be introduced with hay or straw, or as a supplement to high quality pasture. LambGro® increases the bodyweight of young lambs, resulting in heavier lambs available for sale. As a nutrient dense feed, it is also suitable for pregnant or lactating ewes, ensuring they remain at a high BCS.
LambGro® is a tried and tested favourite with many sheep producers. For more information on how LambGro® can improve your lambs’ growth and performance, contact Paul Nenke, 0407 720 040.
