Directions For Use
Feed one tub per 20-25 head of cattle and at least 2 tubs per pasture to ensure adequate intake by younger, timid animals. Place the tubs within 100 feet of where animals congregate (loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas). Feed tubs continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and fresh, clean water. Cattle will consume approximately 227 grams to 454 grams of this supplement per head daily. If additional mineral and vitamin fortification is needed, provide a nutritionally balanced mineral/vitamin supplement containing salt and no additional added selenium. This product does not contain added salt; therefore supplemental salt should be offered at all times.
MANAGEMENT TOOL NOTE
Placement of tubs can influence grazing distribution in large pasture situations. Place tubs in areas of under-utilization in order to entice cattle to specific locations within a pasture.
Introductory Period
During the first week of use, place tubs within 100 feet of the loafing and/or watering areas. As animals become accustomed to the presence of the tubs, some repositioning may be necessary. Move the tubs closer to increase consumption, further away to decrease consumption.
DO NOT PROVIDE STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS SUPPLEMENT.
CAUTIONS: 1) Directions for use must be carefully followed. 2) Do not use this feed in combination with other feeds containing added selenium. 3) Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death. 4) Do not feed this supplement to sheep. High levels of Copper may cause copper toxicosis in sheep. 5) Not recommended for horses.
