Sweetlix 20 Percent All Natural Tub, 200 lb.
This SWEETLIX 20% AN low-moisture tub is formulated to provide protein, vitamins and minerals as a free-choice supplement for beef cattle on pasture. These protein tubs are self-fed block supplements that deliver supplemental nutrition to animals that require additional protein in their diet and to help maintain a healthy and productive herd. In addition to protein, these tubs are fortified with key vitamins and trace minerals to provide added nutrition, including BIOPLEX organic/chelated trace minerals for improved mineral utilization. Protein tubs can be fed all year to provide continuous nutritional support. Most self-fed low-moisture supplements are designed to be placed in dry locations near water or in loafing areas that livestock frequent. For best results, feed them in the shade in the summer months and out of the wind in the winter months.

Feed at a rate of one block per 15 to 30 head. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share. 2. Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between blocks to prevent crowding - 10 feet minimum. 3. Feed blocks continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of blocks. When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near it. 4. Cattle should consume 0.5 to 1.1 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal. 5. Consumption of this block 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 vitamin and mineral fortification is desired, provide an appropriate SWEETLIX self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 0.5 to 1.1 pounds for mature cattle with unrestricted forage supplies. Position the blocks 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some repositioning 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 repositioning 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
