Sheep & Goats
Fodder Solutions systems are great for feeding sheep, goats, pigs, alpacas and lamas. The low acid content of the barley sprouts makes the use of barley sprouts totally safe for all types of stock. Even the fussy eaters improve in condition and weight gains. This has been noted that when feeding Fodder Solutions barley sprouts to stock there has been:
- Exceptional growth rates
- Increased milk production
- Improvement in general appearance and fleece characteristics
- Better quality meat, colour and texture reported from butchers
- Supply high protein and energy from a small quantity of grain
- Increased hydration is flocks, less loss due to heat stress
- High in digestible fibre, which is digested into volatile fatty acids & readily absorbed into the bloodstream as a source of energy
- Supplies higher concentrations of bio-available minerals and vitamins, important for animal nutrition - compared to grain prior to sprouting
- Provides essential amino acids and vitamins which encourages early breeding
- High digestibility - due to the fact that when grains are sprouted starch is converted into simple sugars, (which are called Maltose and Dextrin's). These sugars are easier to digest and take the pressure off the animal’s digestive system, increasing the net available energy for the animal.
- Reduce the pressure young stock place on mothers, as they are able to eat and digest the sprouts from as young as 7 days old - resulting in healthier ewes or does with more milk and larger stock at foot.
- Reduced feed wastage
The Benefits of Feeding Fodder Solutions Sprouts:
The amount of feed for sheep is determined by the breed, age, season, and size. The advantage of utilising a Fodder Solutions system is it will produce according to your stocks needs. Most breeds will consume around 2% of their body weight in barley sprouts, if energy load is higher, pregnant, lactating and fattening, this can be increased to suit. Preparing rams, ewes or fat lambs for sale or just trying to hold your stock alive during drought. This is amazing how little sprouts are required to make a difference to the nutritional value of other feed stuffs. Using the sprouts mat as the primary energy and protein feed for your stock removes the dependence for expensive processed feed & prime Lucerne hay. You are able to utilise grassy hay or even straw for roughage while feeding the sprouts due to its high digestibility.
