Consumption Rate:
Cattle and sheep consumption rates can vary due to individual conditions on property, and in the animal. As a guide to attain protection against grass tetany, the following dose rates should be used as a base point.
| Dose Rate | Cattle | Sheep |
| 200kg | 50g/day | 30g/adult head/day |
| 400kg | 100g/day | |
| 600kg | 150g/day |
Directions:
Place in free draining containers where stock gather regularly. Preferably 1 feeder trough per 50 head of sheep and 1 feeder per 25 grown head of cattle. Spread the troughs around the paddock and near watering points. Cattle and sheep will lick as required to regulate the intake of minerals in accordance with their metabolic requirement.
Best results are achieved when sheep and cattle are started on Green Feed Lick 5-7 days prior to introduction to fresh green paddocks. This is particularly critical if protection from grass tetany and control of bloat is required.
In high pressure situations such as bloat and grass tetany, the product must be continuously available.
Soil Specific:
RumenWorks Nutrition Green Feed Licks are different from most others on offer as we believe that soil types play a large role in nutrient uptake within the plant, and therefore the intake of the plant nutrition by the grazing animal.
RumenWorks Nutrition Green Feed Licks are designed according to specific soil types and aim to give your grazing animal the best supplementary support whilst grazing on green feed or planted fodder crops such as oats, winter wheat, ryegrass, forage sorghum and lucerne.
- Heavy soils: RumenWorks Nutrition Green Feed Lick H (Orange Label)
