SHEEP
MINERAL
Our own High Selenium, Free Choice Mineral
formulated just for sheep. It contains NO ADDED COPPER and like all of
our feeds, it contains molybdenum to further prevent copper toxicity.
Contains 27% Salt, 18% Calcium, 9% Phosphorus, Trace Minerals, Iodine,
and Selenium. Each ounce of our sheep mineral contains the maximum
level allowed by the FDA, at 0.70 mg selenium. This level of Selenium
is higher than any other competitors free choice mineral, and also
higher than any mineral formulated for other species. Our higher levels
of zinc and iron are important for maintaining high growth rates,
preventing anemia, and increasing resistance to disease. To prevent
goiter, Iodine is included at a much higher level than NRC. Ewes
typically consume 1/2 to 1 ounce of mineral per day, or approximately
17# per year, equaling a cost/ ewe/ year of $4.49. No additional salt
is needed. Sheep Mineral contains no vitamins because during
maintenance and early gestation, the ewe’s vitamin needs are fulfilled
by the forage in the diet. However in late gestation and lactation the
diet will need to be supplemented with our 45% Ewe Supplement or Ewe 60
Premix, which will provide the extra vitamins required by the ewe at
these stages of production.

SHEEP
MINERAL W/ DECCOX
Similar to our other free choice mineral, except that this contains
Decoquinate for the prevention and control of coccidiosis. Should be
fed for 30 days pre–lambing to ewes as a means of cleaning up the
adults of cocci. This will greatly reduce the level of cocci in the
lambing environment, enabling the young lambs to avoid
performance–reducing infections at a young age. A feeding level of one
ounce/day of mineral provides 22.7 mg/100 lb of body weight of deccox.

SHEEP
MINERAL W/ VITAMINS
The same formulation as our regular free choice sheep mineral, but with
added vitamins. Feeding 1 ounce of mineral per day provides 30 IU of
Vitamin E and additional levels of
Vitamin A and Vitamin D not offered by other companies mineral
formulations.

common carrier rates on shipping pallets of sheep mineral to distant
locations. However if this just doesn’t work and you are confident of
your mixing abilities this premix could be your answer. SFCM Premix 10
is used with your local salt and minerals to make a sheep mineral for
free choice feeding. SFCM Premix 10 provides magnesium, potassium,
sulfur, selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, &
cobalt, at optimum levels (plus some calcium as carrier).

IF YOU ARE
TOO FAR AWAY FROM US TO GET OUR SHEEP MINERAL - USE SFCM PREMIX 10 TO
MAKE YOUR OWN!
|
|
FAR AWAY? – Yes, you
can still get your flock on our feeding program.
Low Inclusion (micro–premixes) are the best way to get the advantages
of the Hunter Nutrition Sheep feeding program to our distant clients.
For flocks where shipping costs are prohibitive on standard products we
have low inclusion premixes. Previously we offered both 5 and 10 pound
inclusion premixes. The 10 lb premixes such as Ewe 10 B Premix and Lamb
10 B Premix significantly out sold Sheep 5 Premix (Item # 501505). The
10 lb premixes are easier to use and are tailored for a specific use.
Also the higher inclusion rate eliminated concerns over mixing accuracy
with the 5 lb inclusion premix. Therefore we have discontinued offering
Sheep 5 Premix for sale. We recommend you use Ewe 10 or Lamb 10 when
‘low inclusion’ (micro–premixes) are needed. These 10 pound premixes
are a one package per ton of feed premix which provides essential
vitamins, minerals, trace elements, selenium, and sometimes medication.
Use these with your locally available grains, protein source,
limestone, and salt. The low shipping costs on a 10 # product which
will make an entire ton of finished feed allows flocks all across the
country to benefit from our uniquely highly fortified sheep feeding
program. For customers who are too far away from us for cost effective
shipping of Sheep Mineral we have a premix for that use also. This
premix is used with local ingredients to blend your own free choice
sheep mineral. See the description above of SFCM Premix 10. |
