Co-op 14% Pelleted Ewe Lactation Feed is formulated for lactating ewes where high protein and energy are desired. This feed is fully fortified with vitamins and minerals and contains ammonium chloride to help reduce urinary calculi (water belly), alfalfa meal as a source of soluble protein, a high level of corn for energy to meet lactation demands, and selenium and added vitamin E to help prevent White Muscle Disease.
Acclimate ewes to Co-op 14% Pelleted Ewe Lactation Feed by feeding at 1% of body weight per day and increase gradually until ewes reach recommended level of consumption. Feed at least 0.75 lb of long stemmed hay per head per day to help maintain rumen health. To maintain lactating ewes, feed Co-op 14% Pelleted Ewe Lactation Feed at 3 to 4 lb per head per day adjusting level to condition of ewes. For heavy lactating ewes, feed Co-op 14% Pelleted Ewe Lactation Feed at 4 to 5 lb per head per day. Feed at far end of pen to encourage exercise. Watch for slow ewes as these are most likely to develop ketosis. Always have clean, fresh water available. Do not exceed 0.30 ppm, supplemental selenium in the total ration.
