Olssons Lush Green Feed Block for Cattle & Sheep 18kg
- Suitable for
- Cattle, sheep & goats
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.
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.
