Supplying your sheep with mineral licks and buckets is an incredibly easy and effective way to boost health and nutrition among your flock. When fed alongside cereals and compound feeds, mineral buckets and licks will help to support performance all year round. At Chelford Farm Supplies, we supply an extensive range of sheep licks and buckets including leading brands such as Rumenco.
You must supply your flock with the correct amount of minerals, vitamins and trace elements for optimum production, health and fertility. Before and during lambing season ensuring your ewe has a good diet will help her to produce a good size lamb, high-quality colostrum and milk yield.
Rumenco LIFELINE lamb and ewe mineral buckets are the only supplements that benefit both the unborn lamb and the ewe. LIFELINE is a super important mineral bucket for pre-lambing, as it gives the ewe additional calories and nutrients to support both mum and baby as the growing lambs will take a lot of energy from the pregnant ewe.
It’s important to build up your ewe’s energy levels in the final few weeks of pregnancy. The Rumenco SUPAlyx Super Energy Mineral Bucket is an extra high-energy feed which is ideal for ewes from tupping through to lambing, flock replacements and weaned lambs.
It’s just as important to ensure your ram is getting high levels of protein, as this will help to maintain long-lasting andhard-working rams with a high mating ability. The Rumenco Lifeline Ram Care Mineral Bucket is packed full of minerals and vitamins which help support excellent ram fertility, fitness and health, and is a premium feed and lick with quality proteins and energy.
