Ewe & Lamb Feed Specifications
This multi-purpose sheep feed is selected from cereal grains, legumes, salt, limestone, magnesium sulphate, vitamin/ mineral premix, canola oil Molafos, dicalcium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium bentonite, magnesium oxide, magnesium sulphate, acid buff, vitamin/ trace minerals premix, Fylaxflo and Eskalin (optional).
Our Ewe & Lamb Mix contains Lasalocid Sodium 33mg/kg (as Bovatec).
Bovectec is a rumen modifier that works to shift rumen fermentation patterns to improve feed conversion efficiency and increase average daily gains.
Lasalocid Sodium has also been shown to decrease the incidence of faecal shedding of coccida (Eimeria Spp.) in sheep.
Eskalin is an optional addition to reduce acidosis but you will need to provide us with a vet prescription.
This product does not contain restricted animal material.
Reid Stockfeeds’ Ewe & Lamb feed is ideal for trail feeding, trough feeding, creep feeders or in feeders where intake can be controlled.

Why Feed Reid?
Packed with palatable grains and protein sources, this feed contains a balance of marco and trace minerals, vitamins and buffers.
As well as being suitable for rams and wethers, Ewe & Lamb Mix is a convenient solution to reduce the occurrence of pregnancy toxaemia in ewes.
Ewe & Lamb Feeding Directions
- Introduce grain gradually to allow for the rumen and microbes to adapt.
- Start at 100g per head per day and increase by 50 g/ head/ day until reaching the desired feed rate.
Feeding Rates
Recommend feed rates vary depending on fodder and forage quality, stage of cycle and liveweight.
However, we suggest the following:
- Feed up to 2% of liveweight for late gestation, early lactation in twin bearing ewes
- Feed 0.5% of live weight for maintenance of dry stock
Feeding Advice
- Always provide your sheep with access to clean, fresh drinking water.
- Make any changes to the diet gradually, to allow rumen adaptation.
- Never introduce grain to starving/hungry animals.
- Provide a source of long fibre roughage to optimise rumen function.
- For further information, speak to one of our qualified nutritionists.
Additional Information
Water
- Troughs need to supply clean, fresh and cool water.
- Dirty, stagnant and hot water will decrease voluntary water and feed intake, which can in turn reduce feed conversion efficiency (FCE).
- Troughs need to be designed so that they are easy to clean out (note: this should be done daily). They should have a high flow rate, with relatively small surface area to minimise dust and manure contamination.
- It is also advisable that a minimum of three days water be on hand (stored in a tank) in case of a pump break down.
- If stock do not have access to water for an extended period, their feed intake can drop. Grain may need to be reintroduced to the diet gradually.
