| Feeding rates | Triplet bearing ewes 200 grams per head per day. Do not feed to single or twin-bearing ewes. Optimum feeding rates depend on pasture availability and quality and the age and condition of the sheep. Start feeding Triplet Nuts five weeks prior to lambing. Continue feeding after lambing if grass quality or supply is inadequate to help support milk production or where older ewes need extra support. Transition onto Triplet Nuts by starting with 50 g per head per day for a week before building up to 200 g per head per day over the following week. |
| Major nutrients | Typical analysis (approximate on a dry matter basis): Energy 12.8 MJ/kg DM, protein 25%, fat (min) 2% and selenium 1 mg/kg. |
