Key Benefits: For many years poultry enthusiasts have informed us that their hens lay bigger more wholesome eggs when Happy Hen is included in a free choice feeding situation. Free choice feeding means hens can use their senses to identify food and make there own nutritional choices. This is different to feeds determined by the manufacturer like pellets where various compounds are blended and cooked or grains that are unnecessarily coated in molasses.

Happy Hen Plus B is a great base feed that, like all, is best fed alongside other identifiable sources of protein, calcium and minerals. Available on our website are Meat & Bone Meal as a source of protein, Oyster Grit as a source of calcium and Seaweed Meal as a source of trace elements.

Feeding Rate: The average amount of Happy Hen Plus B consumed by a hen per day is 130g (ensure poultry have access to fresh water and grit at all times).

Typical Analysis (%DM): DM 87.1 – CP 12.3 – ME 12 – Starch 61.2

Alpaca and Llama Pellets are formulated to provide an energy and protein supplement to balance pasture at times of poor pasture growth during the summer months when pasture quality tends to deteriorate.

The use of Lucerne as the product base provides a natural form of high quality forage to provide for both protein and energy in a digestible fibre form.

Calculated Analysis

Ingredients Selected From

Lucerne Meal, Meadow Hay Chaff, Wheat Pollard, Wheat Bran, Sugar Beet, Barley, Maize, Coconut Meal, Limestone, Di-Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Salt, Minerals and Vitamins, Molasses.

Suggested Feeding Guide:

250-500g per head per day*

Alpaca & Llama Pellets WITH ZINC

When extra zinc is supplied in the Plus-Zinc formulation to help counter the effects of facial eczema, zinc levels are elevated to 8 grams of zinc per kilo of feed. A feed quantity of 250 grams will provide a daily intake of 2 grams of Zinc, which meets the recommendation of zinc addition for facial eczema control, of 2g per 100kg of body weight.

Suggested Feeding Rate:

175-250g per head per day**

*Feed amounts will depend on animal condition, required growth rates and pasture quality.

** Always introduce feed gradually to allow the rumen micro flora time to adjust to new feed ingredients.

Seeds & Cereals MULTI MEAL is a grain based Supplement feed for Cow’s, Sheep, Goats & Deer.

Happy Calf 20%
Introduce Happy Calf 20% as early as possible, offering as much as can be consumed within 24 hours, discard any stale uneaten feed. Weaning from milk can take place when calves are consuming at least 1-1.5kg of meal per day over three consecutive days.

Happy Calf  16%
It is recommended that Happy Calf 16% is offered to calves once put to pasture at a rate of 1.5kg reducing to 0.5kg per day at 12 weeks. This will maintain growth rates and provide continued protection against coccidiosis.

• Access to Fresh water and a source of quality hay or straw is essential at all times

CAUTION
Seeds & Cereals Calf Meals contain the coccisio-state Bovatec.
Do not allow dogs, horses or other equids access to feed containing Bovatec, ingestion by these species may be fatal.
Bovatec is registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997 No AO 9679
Do not feed with other ionophores e.g. Monensin capsules, liquid or premix

Calf Meal

The Objective
It has been shown that milk bypasses a calf’s rumen therefore development of the rumen is slow so it must be fed a starter meal separately from the milk to go to the rumen. Feeding a calf starter meal is to develop a calf’s rumen or more specifically the papillae (finger-like projections on the surface of the rumen) that absorb nutrients from the rumen contents. The earlier and quicker the rumen papillae develop, the more nutrients can be absorbed, the faster the calf grows, and the sooner it can be weaned. It is recommended that a weaner meal is offered to calves once put to pasture this will maintain growth rates and provide continued protection against coccidiosis.

Grain
Microbes breakdown concentrates in the rumen and research has shown that the fatty acid butyrate made by the microbes from the breakdown of a starter meal that contains a concentrate like grain is the most potent stimulator of rumen papillae development.

Fibre
A quality source of fiber like hay or straw is important for quick rumen development because it will prevent parakeratosis. Parakeratosis is a buildup of excessive karatin (fibourous protein) on the surface of the papillae which effectively covers the absorptive sites and reduces their ability to absorb nutrients. The physical abrasion of the fiber will prevent the buildup of karatin on the papillae.

Water
Access to plenty of fresh water is essential for rumen development, remember milk bypasses the rumen and so does any potential moisture, if a calf is receiving starter meal which is heading for the rumen then it is essential that it is accompanied by moisture for proper function.

Bovatec
Bovatec is a feed additive that controls coccidiosis this is a parasitic disease usually affecting young calves aged 3-8 months and in some cases as early as 4 weeks of age. The disease causes calves to become sick, some may die and surviving animals can have long term intestine problems causing ill thrift and poor growth.

This highly palatable meal makes it an ideal  multi-purpose feed that can be fed alone or have an additional source of fibre and energy added or other things like minerals and medication.

Regardless of what premix feed you are feeding, make sure your horse has access to pasture or another form of good roughage and plenty of fresh clean water.

Feeding Guide (intended as a guide only)
Feed 0.5kg up to 2.5kg per day depending on condition
