Sheep nutrition

Through the centuries, sheep have been selected and bred to produce meat and fiber. Flock management, including nutrition, is essential in all niches of the market.
Sheep are exceptional grazers. While grass or legume pastures provide excellent forage, additional nutrients are needed for optimum production. Some of our products specifically geared for sheep are:

  • Lamb milk replacer – This ADM Alliance Nutrition milk replacer is a 24% protein, 35% fat powder designed to supplement those twins or triplets, or an orphan lamb. It is available in a 25# bag.

It is a 34% protein concentrate designed to be mixed with grains as a source of needed protein and energy for ewes during breeding, late gestation or lactation.
