Feed The Right Mix!

The GOLD FORMULA difference… Formulated by Premier’s small ruminant nutritionist, Dr. Dan Morrical, Ph.D., The Shepherd's Choice ® Gold Formula Premixes (below) contains high levels of zinc and iodine to promote healthier hooves, animal growth and reproduction. (Hoof growth is a long term process so benefits may not be seen for several months of continuous feeding of this mixture.) Dr. Morrical builds on the work done by Dr. Kennedy of Pipestone Veterinary Services. In addition to increased levels of zinc and iodine, most contain additional selenium (to the maximum level allowed by the FDA), manganese, and cobalt to maximize flock health and immunity. Molybdenum has also been increased for more protection against copper accumulation in the liver—sheep absorb copper more efficiently than goats.

The “Natural” Choice…

Match Momma’s Milk Ewe’s milk is naturally high in casein—the same protein found in skim milk. Caseins are slowly absorbed after ingestion, whereas whey protein is quickly absorbed. That’s why cheaper, whey-based milk formulas often result in bloating and digestion problems in lambs or kids. It doesn’t pay to skimp on quality. Try Lamb & Kid Milk Replacer with your flock and see the difference!
