Application:

a lick block for protein deficient ruminants

Net Weights:

15 kg & 30kg

FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:

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.

WARNING:

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

AVERAGE CONSUMPTION RATES:

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

Cattle: 60g - 100g per head/day

Sheep: 20g - 30g per head/day

When to Use Rumenade 50

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

Rumenade 100 contains rumen digestible protein (urea) and by-pass protein (Cottonseed meal). 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. Rumenade 100 supplies both forms of protein to maximise the digestion of feed and maximise production.
