Feeding sheep and goats for reproductive success
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 20 Mar 2020
Many factors go into a herd’s reproductive success, but there’s one specific aspect of nutrition you may be overlooking: fat.
Fat’s not just a key ingredient for energy and maintaining body condition score, but it’s also a key ingredient for reproduction. Fat is a precursor for cholesterol, and cholesterol is a precursor for reproductive hormones. If sheep and goats don’t have supplemental fat, they may not have enough energy to sustain them through gestation and achieve reproductive success.
Purina® Accuration® Sheep & Goat Hi-Fat Block provides supplemental fat and should be used year-round to ensure your flock and herd always has what it needs – even when forages may be nutrient deficient.
