Ewe Conditioner 14 should generally be fed with good quality forages (e.g. alfalfa-grass hay) that are offered free choice so that they will adequately supply the remainder of the animal's protein and energy needs. The following are suggested feeding levels which may be varied according to the quality of forage and body condition score of the animals. 

Stage of production

Lbs. per head

Flushing/breeding

0.5-1.0

First 15 weeks gestation

0.33-0.5

Last 6 weeks gestation

0.5-1.0

Lactation

1.5-2.5

Free choice salt and fresh, clean water should be available at all times. The need for supplemental free choice mineral feeding will depend upon the kind and amount of forage being consumed.

Flush ewes (2-3 weeks prior to the breeding season): feed 0.25 pounds of Ewe Conditioner 38 per head daily. Feed 0.25 to 0.5 pounds of grain per head daily depending on the condition of the animals and/or the quality of pasture available.

First 15 weeks of gestation: feed 0.20 to 0.33 pounds of Ewe Conditioner 38 per head daily. Offer good quality forage free choice. If hay or pasture is of only fair to poor quality, and ewes are not being maintained in good condition, feed 0.25 to 0.5 pounds of grain per head daily.

Last 6 weeks of gestation: feed 0.25 to 0.5 pounds of Ewe Conditioner 38 and 1.0 to 2.0 pounds of grain per head daily. Continue feeding until lambs are weaned or until ewes are on good pasture.

Ewes and lambs should have access to fresh, clean water at all times. The need for supplemental free choice mineral feeding will depend upon the kind and amount of forage being consumed.
