Formulated as a complete, fully balanced compound ration, these easy-to-feed nuts are engineered to provide optimal nutrition for sheep of all ages—including growing lambs, breeding rams, and pregnant or lactating ewes.

Crafted with highly digestible micronised wheat and quality fibre sources, this premium feed delivers a safe, high-energy boost to meet the rigorous metabolic demands of late pregnancy and peak lactation.

📋 Sheep Feeding & Management Guide

Recommended Daily Feed Rates:

• Growing Lambs: Introduce carefully as soon as lambs show an initial interest in hard feed. Step up rations gradually to a maximum of 0.5kg per head, per day.
• Adult Maintenance (Ewes & Rams): Feed between 0.5kg and 0.75kg per day depending on size and weather conditions.
• In-Lamb & Lactating Ewes: Feed between 0.5kg and 1.25kg per day split across multiple meals.

Critical Management Guidelines:

1. Forage Priority: Always ensure your flock has ad-libitum access to clean, high-quality forage (pasture grazing, hay, or straw) to support a healthy digestive tract line.
2. Introduce Step-by-Step: Ruminate systems are incredibly sensitive to carbohydrate shifts. Always introduce Badminton Sheep Nuts gradually over a 10 to 14-day window to prevent acidosis.
3. Hydration Support: Lactating ewes and growing lambs require massive amounts of water. Maintain constant access to clean, fresh, frost-free drinking water 24/7.
4. ⭐ Top Tip: If managing orphan lambs or senior sheep with severely worn teeth, simply add warm water to these nuts at a 1:2 ratio. They will soften almost instantly into a highly palatable, easily swallowed warm mash!
