*Approximate **Adding Lasalocid from Bovatec (BT) aids in the prevention of coccidiosis, a common problem in growing lambs. To help prevent coccidiosis, feed Lamb BT Pels Medicated. Blue Seal® sheep products provide the correct balance of nutrients for life stages: breeding, lactation, creep feeding lambs, and finishing for market. Blue Seal sheep feeds and minerals contain NO added copper. The suggested feeding programs are intended solely as a guide. The variables of management, environment and breed may dictate changes in the animal's requirements. Provide clean and fresh water at all times. |
