Pellet for nursing ewes OVIPEL 4 pellet is a complementary pellet for nursing ewes from the age of 6 weeks and also for ewes during lactation. The increased protein content helps to ensure milk yield is optimally stimulated in nursing ewes. This means that lambs receive all the essential nutrients they need for a balanced growth. Most sheep are sensitive to copper; the accumulation of copper can even result in death. For that reason our OVI-sheep feeds are copper-free. INDICATIONS FOR USE: Period: During the entire lactation period. A lactating ewe can be fed 500 g of OVIPEL 4 pellet per nursing lamb, to guarantee good milk production. Maximum milk production is achieved with good quality roughage and a daily supplement of approximately 1 kg of OVIPEL 4 pellet. If the roughage is of slightly poorer quality, more OVIPEL 4 pellet should be given. With lambing of more than two lambs, it is recommended to raise the additional lambs at the lamb bar with OVIMILK 1, especially with ewes with less-rich milk or if the lambs are rather unequal in weight. The daily diet should not contain more than 60% concentrated feeds. Sheep are very sensitive to copper poisoning. Therefore, only give specific sheep feeds from the OVI range. Always make fresh water and roughage (such as grass, hay...) freely available.
