Feeding Instructions

CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED. Consumption of selenium should not exceed 3 mg per head per day. Feeding selenium in excess of 0.3 ppm in the total diet is prohibited.

WARNING: This product, which contains added copper, should not be fed to sheep or any species with a low tolerance to supplemental copper. For Jersey Dairy cattle, which are known to be sensitive to copper toxicity, consider all sources of dietary copper in the complete diet. Supplemental copper sources and/or ingredient levels may need to be modified in these animal feeding situations.

Introductory Period: Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 0.25
to 0.75 pounds for mature cattle with unrestricted forage supplies. Position the blocks 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some repositioning of blocks may be necessary as animals become acclimated to the presence of the blocks. Move blocks closer to increase consumption; further away to decrease consumption. If over consumption occurs for more than two weeks and repositioning of blocks does not correct the situation, remove blocks and evaluate the overall feeding program. DO NOT ALLOW STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS BLOCK.

Feeding Recommendations:

1. Feed at a rate of one block per 20 to 30 head. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
2. Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafi ng, grazing and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between blocks to prevent crowding - 10 feet minimum.
3. Feed blocks continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of blocks. When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near it.
4. Cattle should consume 0.25 to 0.75 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal.
5. Consumption of this block may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly, feeding locations of blocks with respect to loafi ng, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
6. If additional vitamin and mineral fortifi cation is desired, provide an appropriate ULTRALYX^® self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
