| Q: |
Is HP-40™ safe for sheep? |

SHEEP-LYX™ is recommended.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Should HP-40™ be fed to equine? |

is recommended.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Where does HP-40™ fit in a cow/calf
operation? |
| A: |
When cows are consuming excessively
low quality forages and/or when cows are in early
lactation, extra rumen degradable and bypass proteins
can help increase performance.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Does HP-40™ contain bypass protein? |
| A: |
Yes, the primary source is from hydrolyzed
feather meal. Providing bypass protein can enhance
rate of gain by stocker calves and milk production
by cows.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Can HP-40™ serve as a calf creep
program? |
| A: |
Calves can benefit from nutrients delivered
by HP-40™, but they will not consume enough
total nutrients in the form of protein and energy
to reach their genetic potential for growth. However,
HP-40™ can provide important minerals and vitamins
that will help calves during the stress of weaning
and assist in calves starting on feed more quickly
once they reach the feedlot.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Should I switch to HP-40™ during
the breeding season? |
| A: |
This can be a good management practice
if additional protein is required. HP-40™,
NATURAL-27™ and BGF-30™ are excellent
choices, especially if forage quality is low. |
