| What
makes The Feed in a Drum different from other low-moisture big blocks?
|
The Feed in a Drum supplements
are manufactured with a new state-of-the-art patented process that makes
a more consistent and more uniformly mixed free-choice product. The Feed
in a Drum supplements are more resistant to inclement weather and are more
heavily fortified to provide essential nutrients to support reproduction
and enhance forage utilization. Most importantly, The Feed in a Drum blocks
are widely known for their ability to minimize supplemental feed costs.
| What
kind of intake should I expect when I feed The Feed in a Drum blocks
to my cows? |
Forage quality and availability
will drive daily consumption. The typical product intake is 3/4 pound per
head per day. Product consumption will most likely increase when lower quality
forages are fed and decrease when higher quality forages are fed. Low cattle
intakes can be brought to normal by adding more blocks to decrease animal
competition and increasing the available animal licking surface area. Always
follow recommended feeding directions.
| How
many blocks should I put out for my cows? |
Always feed at a rate of one block
for every fifteen to twenty-five head. Place a minimum of two blocks in
each pasture near areas most frequented by cattle, such as watering locations,
cross trails, shaded or loafing areas.
| Can
I feed The Feed in a Drum supplements year round?
|
Yes! Most low moisture blocks
have a tendency to get soft and sticky in the heat of spring and summer
making it difficult to control correct nutrient intake and supplemental
feed cost. The new patented process of The Feed in a Drum blocks make a
unique, harder block that remains firmer even in the hottest, most humid
weather conditions. |
