Feeding Instructions

CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED. Consumption of selenium should not exceed 3 mg per head daily.

WARNING: This product, which contains added copper, should not be fed to sheep or any species that have a low tolerance to supplemental copper.

Introductory Period: Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 1 to 2.5 pounds per head per day for horses with unrestricted forage supplies. Position the blocks 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some re-positioning of blocks may be necessary as animals become acclimated to the presence of the blocks. Move blocks closer to increase consumption; further away to decrease consumption. If over consumption occurs for more than two weeks and re-positioning of blocks does not correct the situation, remove blocks and evaluate the overall feeding program. DO NOT ALLOW STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS BLOCK.

Feeding Recommendations:

SWEETLIX Equine Pasture & Hay Balancer Tub is a complete protein and energy supplement block that also delivers essential minerals and vitamins.

1. Feed 1 tub per 5-10 head. All animals should have equal access to tubs. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
2. Place tubs where animals congregate. Locate tubs throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between tubs to minimize crowding - 10 feet minimum.
3. Feed tubs continuously along with a plentiful source of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of tubs. When a tub is two-thirds consumed, provide a new tub near it.
4. Horses should consume 1 to 2.5 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal.
5. Consumption of this supplement may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly, feeding locations of blocks with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
6. If additional mineral and vitamin fortification is desired, provide an appropriate SWEETLIX self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
