Sheep Natural Energy – The Natural Choice for Tupping
Tupping can be considered as one of the most critical times of the sheep production cycle, setting the standard for a healthy lamb crop five months down the line.
The main aim at tupping time is to maximise ovulation rate and conception, which impacts on the number of lambs sold per ewe which has a direct effect on profitability.
It is well known that ewe body condition score has a profound effect on breeding success, which ultimately relies on getting nutrition right not just before, but also after mating. The current recommended optimal condition score for hill and lowland ewes is is 3.0 and 3.5 respectively, which should be maintained in the first 5 to 6 weeks after tupping, and don’t forget the rams who should start the season with a BCS of 3.4 – 4.Providing a high energy lick such as Sheep Natural Energy, containing high quality natural protein, will help support ewe fertility and tupping success, which will influence overall lamb output further down the line
The product also contains a range of essential minerals including; selenium to support fertility, iodine to support foetal development and cobalt to support fertility and lamb vigor plus vitamins required for good reproductive performance, in addition to fish oil which helps support ovulation and potential pregnancy rates.
Supporting tupping success with Sheep Natural Energy:
- 13.5ME to support ewe condition
- Fish oil as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids to support ewe and tup fertility
- Protected zinc to support healthy hooves
- Selenised yeast and ultra-high vitamin E to support pregnancy rates
- Offer from 2 weeks pre-tupping for a total of 8 weeks

New born calves – meeting their nutritional requirements.
After colostrum, the next critical feed for the new-born calf is milk. Like infants, new born calves have a requirement for milk in their diet until such time as their digestive system matures and they can digest more complex feeds. Young calves require energy for normal body functions such as digestion, respiration and heat production as well as for growth, and the energy available to the calf is directly proportionate to the supply of milk or milk replacer during the first few weeks.

MORE MILK
Studies have shown that treating with Eprinomectin can increase milk yield by more than 2 litres per cow per day.
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
Treating with Eprinomectin increases grazing for up to 50 minutes longer following treatment.
When to treat
Around calving time: The transition from late gestation to early lactation is when the cow’s nutritional demands are at their highest. Treating with Eprinomectin will maximise DMI intake at this crucial time; potentially improving fertility and milk production.3
At risk periods:
Treating cows against worms is vital in the run-up to winter housing, as this can weaken a cow’s ability to fend off other housing-related illnesses, such as pneumonia.
