Livestock pellets

An animal nutritionist has formulated Eden Valley livestock pellets with concentrated high-energy levels and moderate protein levels for adult ruminant animals such as sheep, cattle, alpacas and goats. This is a natural product and does not contain any restricted animal material. The pellets are made from 100% Demeter certified biodynamic grains including wheat, oats, rye, barley, triticale, bran, pollard and lupins. Natural minerals of salt, gypsum, lime, di-calcium phosphate and natural sea minerals (a natural acidity buffer) are added to a nutritionally balanced formula. Pellet composition will vary slightly from batch to batch depending on the availability of Demeter certified grains. Currently the pellets have a digestible dry matter of 80.5%, ME 12.9% MJ/kg DM, ADF 9.1% and crude protein of 11.5%. Available in 20 kg, 500 kg or 1,000 kg bags.

Usage notes:

• Offer pellets to livestock over a four-week period, gradually increasing the percentage of pellets, allowing the animal time to adjust to the new feed source.
• The pellets are high in energy and MUST be fed to ruminant animals with a quality fibre source such as hay, mature green pasture or straw.
• Provide good, clean water for animals.
• Allow for a daily feed intake of around 3% body weight of animal.
• Weed seeds that may be present in feed grains are made infertile in the processing of the livestock pellets.
• Pellets are processed to export standards.
