Special Lamb Creep B90

Description

Follow these management practices:

1. Lambs should be adjusted gradually to this product (over a period of 5 to 7 days) to reduce the risk of overeating and other digestive disturbances.
2. This ration can be self-fed to lambs if they are properly adjusted to the ration.
3. Do not allow starved lambs access to this feed.
4. Vaccinate all lambs to prevent enterotoxemia (overeating disease) with both C and D toxoid.
5. Keep a constant supply of complete feed available to lambs. Do not allow fine material to accumulate in feeders.
6. Provide adequate bunk space for each animal. Bunks should be well protected and well managed to prevent feed from becoming wet and moldy.
7. When fed from a self-feeder, adjust feeder to minimize quantity of feed accumulating in the trough.
8. Provide free choice salt at all times.
9. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times.

In groups of lambs there are certain animals who experience chronic bloat, or other digestive disturbances, and consequently, are poor performers. In addition, excess feed consumption, severe weather changes resulting in erratic feed consumption, and poorly managed feeding practices can increase the incidence of bloat in all lambs. If bloating does occur, the above management practices should be reviewed.

Best Results

Thoroughly mix 667 lbs of this Type B Medicated feed into 1333 lbs of non-medicated feed to obtain one ton of Type C medicated feed containing 30 g/ton lasalocid.

Feed the resulting Type C Medicated feed continuously at a rate of 1 to 4.66 lbs to provide 15 to 70 mg lasalocid per head per day depending on body weight.

Caution

Feeding undiluted or mixing errors may result in an excess lasalocid concentration which could be fatal to cattle and sheep. Do not allow horses or other equines access to Type A articles or Type B feeds containing lasalocid as ingestion may be fatal. Safety of lasalocid for use in unapproved species has not been established. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.
