This high-protein creep feed maximizes skeletal growth in lambs. Manufactured into a 1/8” mini-pellet, this feed extremely palatable — young lambs devour this feed.
Use it in breeding sheep that need the added stretch and frame during a long show season. Or in market lambs that are early maturing or will be fed longer before their local show.
When it comes to nourishing and nurturing your animals, quality matters. That’s why Purina’s high-quality, research-proven products are formulated for optimal nutrition with the best ingredients that meet our stringent quality and nutritional standards.

Feed at a rate of 0.3 lbs to lambs weighing 20 lbs to provide 22.7 mg decoquinate per 100 lb of bodyweight (0.5 mg/kg) per day. Feed at least 28 days during period of exposure to coccidiosis or when it is likely to be a hazard.
Store in a dry area away from insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed.
Use as directed.
Do not feed to sheep producing milk for food.
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.
