bk Sheep Nutrition Services

 

All rations will give a complete printout of trace mineral levels.  I concentrated on providing the legal limit of selenium and feeding higher levels of vitamin E.  I will balance to insure a proper copper to molybdenum ration to help prevent copper toxicity.  Other micro nutrients of concern will be zinc, cobalt and iodine levels.  When comparing for the first time, I can show you how a custom blended mineral mix designed by me would compare to what your sheep are receiving now.  You will know all vitamin and trace mineral levels.  I do not hide information from my customers.

These products do not have any added copper.

Products Available:

FOUNDATION PRODUCT
bk Sheep Base 25 (25 lbs.)
Vitamin and Trace mineral package that you blend with white salt, other macro minerals, and dical, as formulated by the rations.
Depending on stage of production, sheep base will provide between 40-90 units of vitamin E per head.


PRODUCT WITH NO ADDED MOLYBDENUM
bk Sheep & Goat Base (25 lbs.)
Similar product to bk Sheep Base 25 except that it has no added molybdenum.
Balanced for higher inclusion rates.
The use of bk Sheep w/o moly is for flocks that have naturally occurring molybdenum levels present in feed tests.

The most profitable mineral is the one that keeps your sheep healthy and productive.

 

FOR SHOW FLOCKS AND HIGH PRODUCTION FLOCKS
bk Sheep Base II 50 lbs.
Vitamin and Trace mineral package with added chelated trace minerals.
Designed for high production, high stressed sheep that can benefit from elevated chelated trace minerals.
Sheep Base II provides between 70-140 units of Vitamin E per head.

FOR LARGE FLOCKS:
I can also design new vitamin and trace mineral packages for areas requiring unique nutritional needs due to soil or forage factors.
It is because of this variability that we need to start with forage analysis that are tested for the trace minerals.

One bag of bk Sheep Base will feed approximately 20-25 ewes for six months.
