Target Animals:
Feed to dry and late lactating cattle, moderate performance steers and bullocks on high roughage/dry pasture diets or other regimens where protein supply is marginal.
Product Description:
StockGro – EconoPro is similar in some way to StockGro – HiPro but lower in specification of certain nutrients and cost. Intake control may not be good as HiPro.
StockGro – EconoPro is a palatable Liquid Feed Supplement (LFS) designed to be fed free access to cattle under dry pasture, roughage, stubble and drought conditions.
StockGro - EconoPro contains 26% crude protein together with essential minerals, trace elements and vitamins.
Intake is controlled to promote little and often to maximise microbial performance.
Feeding Instructions:
Offer StockGro – EconoPro free access in polypropylene 600 litre tubs. The duration of supplementation will depend on the quality and quantity of pasture and roughage available.
Use one tub for 40 – 50 animals. ANP can supply tubs at reasonable cost.
It is advisable to place tubs of StockGro - EconoPro in positions in the paddock that are well away from or diametrically opposite to the water source.
Roughage in the paddock must be available and plentiful.
