Sheep Feeds

Nutrition is paramount in the overall productivity, health and well-being of any sheep flock and that is why we stock a comprehensive range of ewe, lamb and hogget feeds both in course ration and cube form. Our focus is on top quality products and ingredients to compliment farm forages rather than act as a substitute. The requirements of each herd vary due to differing production objectives, the genetic potential of the livestock and the quality and availability of other feeds on the farm.

Listed below are just a few of the products we have to offer from leading brands. Our Cooney Furlong farm representatives are now available to discuss your specific sheep nutrition requirements.

Sheep and Lamb Nut Range

Nugget Super Ewe & Lamb 18%

Top class energy dense nut for in-lamb ewes where pregnancy is limiting dry matter intakes shortly before lambing and for lactating ewes with high quality proteins to boost both quality and yield of colostrum and milk for suckling lambs. This, along with bypass nutrients will ensure vigorous lambs at birth. Lambs at foot should be offered a specific lamb creep feed once they reach 2 to 3 weeks of age.

Nugget Elite Ewe and Lamb 20%

Nut designed for the most prolific flocks where good lamb size and vigour at birth needs to be absolutely guaranteed, irrespective of litter size. Hi-pro soya and ground maize make up the foundation of this diet to support the ewe in delivering excellent milk yields. This very high energy nut can also be used to increase the ration energy density where the forage is less than top quality. Lambs at foot should be offered a specific lamb creep feed once they reach 2 to 3 weeks of age.

Nugget Intensive Lamb Nut

This is a high energy creep feed for lambs. Formulated to 17% protein with high levels of top-quality cereals to maximise both growth rates and kill outs. Its suitable for all ages, so can be fed as a starter diet or as a follow on. As with all high feeding regimes, careful management is essential. We have specifically formulated the mineral balance to greatly reduce the risk of urinary calculi and copper toxicity in intensively fed sheep.

Coarse Ration Range

Avoca Milking Ewe

A high energy feed for pregnant and milking ewes. Ensures good ewe condition while supporting milk yield and quality, and therefore promoting top lamb growth rates. This high energy feed is complemented with good quality protein sources such as soya, wheat distillers and beans

Avoca Lamb Creep 18%

An excellent way to introduce lambs to creep feed as it is suitable from first feed right through to intensive feeding of finishing lambs. Highly digestible and very palatable, it is an ideal ration for the support of early growth. A specialist top quality mineral package acts as an aid to reduce the risk of urinary calculi, making it suitable for pedigree rams to be used for breeding.

Avoca Hogget Finisher 14%

A high energy feed recommended for intensive finishing of older lambs and hoggets. It has a very high level of native cereals, balanced with digestible fibre sources to prevent acidosis when fed ad lib. Delivers high daily live-weight gains and excellent carcass conformation.
