Feeding Guidelines
Free-choice to ewes before breeding and lambing, and to all sheep on medium to low quality pasture, hay, or forage. Place tub(s) in a dry location near the animal’s source of water, salt, mineral, or loafing area. Consumption will vary depending on animal size, stage of production, quality, source, and availability of roughage and/or grains; number of animals per tub and tub location.
| Species | Animals/50-lb Tub | Intake/hd/day |
| Sheep | 20 - 30 | 1.0 oz - 3.0 oz |
DAILY INTAKE VALUES ARE APPROXIMATE. To increase consumption decrease the number of animals per tub. To reduce consumption increase the number of animals per tub or place tubs away from the normal loafing area.
Provide clean, fresh water at all times. Provide salt and Sheep Mineral free-choice.
Additional Features & Benefits
Naturally-cooked molasses combined with fat results in a very high level of sugar and energy. This high sugar level and the licking action needed for consumption increase saliva production. This, in turn, may improve the rumen environment which would improve forage digestion.
The high level of molasses solids and fat make for a highly palatable product which cannot be over-consumed. The licking action along with saliva produced softens the top 1/4 inch of the block allowing limited consumption. When this thin layer is consumed the animals must wait for the next layer of the block to soften before they can consume additional product.
The manufacturing process reduces moisture to under 4%. Other typical blocks contain about 25% moisture. High moisture levels add to freight and handling costs.
EnergiLass Sheep 15 does not use chemicals and binders to harden the block or to control consumption as many blocks do. EnergiLass Sheep 15 does not contain these ingredients which means you are buying only nutritional ingredients.
Guaranteed levels of vitamins and minerals for better nutrition.
The plastic tub is convenient to handle and eliminates waste. Even in bad weather, the nutrients are contained in the tub. When the tub is almost empty the block is not lost in mud or manure as is often the case with conventional blocks.
