Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a liquid supplement?

If the infrastructure is already in place to deliver a total mixed ration, then the addition of a liquid supplement is cost effective whilst delivering the same nutrients as pelleted or powdered supplement.

What is the added protein?

The protein included in the liquid is in the form of non- protein nitrogen (urea). This is to assist producers who may not be feeding total mixed rations to meet the protein requirements of the animals.

What buffers are included in the product?

NUTRI-Lamb Supplement does not contain any buffers or compounds to help control or prevent acidosis. We recommend getting in touch with an AAN representative to discuss the addition of buffers to a feeding program.

What Rumen Modifiers are included in the product?

Lasalocid sodium (Bovatec®), a registered ionophore, is included in NUTRI-Lamb Liquid Supplement as a rumen modifier. It works to shift rumen fermentation patterns to improve feed conversion efficiencies and increase average daily gain. Lasalocid sodium has also been shown to decrease the incidence of coccidiosis.

Are any other additives required while using NUTRI-Lamb Liquid Supplement?

Depending on the raw materials used to make up the final ration, limestone may be required at 1% (10kg/t) to correct any calcium deficiencies. We suggest contacting your local AAN representative to discuss options before including any other additives in the ration.

Can NUTRI-Lamb Liquid Concentrate be fed to any other animals?

NO, feeding this product to horses, other equines or dogs may be fatal, as it contains urea. This product is purposely designed for feeding to sheep and lambs only.
