Co-op Pelleted Lamb Starter-BOV is formulated to provide supplemental nutrition for suckling lambs. This excellent creep feed is fully fortified with vitamins and minerals and is medicated with Bovatec® for the prevention of coccidiosis. Also contains ammonium chloride to help reduce urinary calculi (water belly) and selenium from selenium yeast as well as added vitamin E to help prevent White Muscle Disease.
Feed Co-op Pelleted Lamb Starter-BOV continuously at 1.00 to 4.66 lb per head per day to provide not less than 15 nor more than 70 mg of Lasalocid per head per day depending on body weight. Start creep feeding when lambs are 7 to 10 days old. Feed with free choice hay until lambs are 5 to 6 weeks old. Then switch to a Co-op 16% Lamb Grower Finisher plus free choice hay. Each lamb should consume 20 to 25 lb of Co-op Pelleted Lamb Starter-BOV or weigh 50 lb before being switched to a Co-op 16% Lamb Grower Finisher. Do not exceed 0.30 ppm supplemental selenium in the total ration.
Caution: The safety of Lasalocid for use in unapproved species has not been established. Do not allow horses or other equines access to feeds containing Lasalocid as ingestion may be fatal.
