OLSSON LUSH GREEN FEED BLOCK 18KG FOR CATTLE & SHEEP OLS2761
Olsson’s Lush Green Feed Block is designed for sheep and cattle grazing green pasture or fodder crops.
It provides optimum conversion on high quality feeds.
Green pastures are often described as “gutless” due to low levels of required minerals that may have been leached from the soil.
Lush replaces many of these minerals, assisting the grazier to optimise the growth potential of the available feed.
Directions:
Place away from water source.
Intake can increase or decrease depending several factors:
Available fodder, life cycle of animal (pregnancy, calving, lambing, lactating etc), and weather conditions (e.g. cloudy, cold weather will increase the animal’s requirement of magnesium).
Consumption of this block may be high if the animals have had no other supplements made available (e.g. the use of Ewe Beauty or Herd Health will assist in lowering the animals' craving for minerals & vitamins).
Cattle approximate intake:
50g/head/day
Sheep approximate intake:
10g/head/day
These numbers are approximate and are intended as a guide only.
Consumption rates will depend on life cycle of the animals and the quality of the available feed.
Common Questions
What is Lush Green Feed Block used for?
Lush Green Feed Block is designed for sheep and cattle grazing green pasture or fodder crops. It replaces minerals that are often leached from soil, which can make lush green pastures low in essential minerals. By supplementing these minerals, it helps optimise the growth potential of the feed available to your animals.
How much will my animals eat?
Approximate daily intake is around 50g per head for cattle and 10g per head for sheep. These are rough guides only — actual consumption will vary depending on the life cycle of your animals (pregnancy, calving, lambing, lactation), the quality of available feed, and weather conditions. Cold or cloudy weather, for example, can increase animals' magnesium requirements and boost intake.
Where should I place the block?
Place the block away from the water source. This helps ensure animals access the supplement as intended without it being compromised by moisture or water contact.
Will my animals eat a lot of it straight away?
Intake can be quite high if your animals haven't had other supplements available before. If you're using other mineral & vitamin supplements like Ewe Beauty or Herd Health alongside the block, these will help lower the animals' mineral & vitamin cravings, which in turn can help balance consumption of the Lush Green Feed Block.
