Sheep Starter Pellet
About Sheep Starter Pellet
Product BrochureSheep Starter Pellets are a high protein, moderate energy grain-based pellet designed primarily as an introduction for lambs prior to the finishing phase in the feedlot. Kojonup Feeds Starter Pellets contain a comprehensive macro-mineral, trace element and vitamin package to suit WA conditions. They can be fed in conjunction with a palatable roughage in the feedlot or used as a supplement in conjunction with pasture during backgrounding in the paddock. Once sheep have been introduced to grain-based rations on their path to finishing, they must have continuous access. Roughage and potable water should be continuously available. All sheep on grain-based rations should be fully immunised against clostridial diseases.
- Our standard pellet size is 6mm. We also offer 4mm and 9mm by prior arrangement.
- Contains added macro-minerals, trace elements and vitamins to meet livestock requirements in WA.
