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.

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. |
