Feeding Guide:

• Gradually introduce XLR8 PELLETS over a 3 week period, start feeding at 0.5% live weight / head / day for the first 5 days. This can be gradually increased to higher levels over the next 2 weeks.
• Cool, clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Pasture Supplementation: Feed at 0.5 – 1.5% live weight / head / day depending on size, age of calf and quality of roughage available. It can be used as a supplement for adult cattle when grazing low protein, low quality pastures.

Feedlotting:Can be used in troughs or self-feeders if young calves enter a feedlot. Must be fed with roughage/hay and used with an appropriate induction program. Refer to “Notes on Feedlotting Cattle”.

Early Weaning: XLR8 PELLETS are ideal for early weaning calves >100kg live weight. Lighter calves should be fed CALF REARER CRUMBLES.

• Week 1 offer 0.5kg / head / day in troughs. Increase to 1kg / head / day when the calves are leaving troughs empty. Allow adequate trough space for all calves to eat at once.
• Week 2 offer 1kg / head / day of XLR8 PELLETS and offer any other dry licks/molasses supplements that will be used after weaning.
