Application:

a protein block for ruminants

Net Weights:

19kg & 32kg

Feeding Instructions:

Remove outer carton and plastic cover and place near water troughs, dams and stock camps. Place out sufficient blocks to avoid overcrowding of stock. Initially, the consumption rate will be higher than average, but higher rates of consumption will drop after an initial "gorging" period. Replace immediately when consumed.

Consumption Guide:

The following rates will increase or decrease according to varying pasture conditions.

Cattle 60 -100g/head/day

Sheep 20 - 30g/head/day

WARNING:

This product contains urea. Do not feed to starving stock.

WHEN TO USE U15:

1. When pastures are plentiful but dry and deficient in protein.

When designing supplements for ruminants, the primary objective is feeding the microorganisms in the rumen.

The growth of rumen microorganisms requires the presence of a nitrogen source, ammonia, which usually arises from digested dietary proteins, such as found in pastures, urea, grains, etc.

The other important principle to be taken into account when formulating a supplement is the protein requirements of the animal itself.

The ruminant, as distinct from the rumen microorganisms, has a variable demand for protein during its growth and production, to be used for tissue synthesis , wool production, milk production, etc. The extra protein required during these periods is best supplied in the diet as bypass proteins.

U15 supplies both forms of protein to maximise the digestion of feed and maximise production.
