Strategies for Feeding Modern Show Lambs
Animal : Lambs
Unlock the full genetic potential of modern show lambs with the following feeding strategies.
- Deworm lambs about every 30-45 days throughout the feeding period.
- Feed lambs ¼ lb (double handful) of loose good quality alfalfa per day.
- Always allow access to clean fresh water at all times.
- When feeding HONOR® SHOW Show lamb feeds, there is no need to supplement with additional mineral.
- Feed High Octane® Heavy Weight® Supplement at 2 oz to help improve feed intake, and 4 to 8 oz per day to help improve fat cover and/or growth rate.
- Feed High Octane® Ultra Full® Supplement at 8 to 16 oz per day to help improve flank and lower 1/3 body fill.
- Feed High Octane® Fitter® 52 Supplement at 8 oz per day for the final 14 days help optimize leanness and muscle.
- To support digestive health and support feed intake feed High Octane® Alleviate Supplement at 1 oz per every 50 lb of bodyweight per day. If lamb is bloating, or off feed start at 6 to 8 oz per day and in 7 days reduce to 1 oz per day 50 lbs of bodyweight.
