ProAgni ProTect ™ S Finish is a full cereal grain and protein pellet. Designed to provide the full dietary requirements for use in feedlots, drought lots, supplementary feeding or weaning.

Why use ProTect S Finish?

  • Provides balanced protein and energy nutrition for
    sheep
  • Provides buffering against lactic acidosis

    increased production

How do I use ProTect S Finish:

This complete feed pellet is designed for feeding at 1-2%
of bodyweight per day, fed out in troughs or self feeders,
in conjunction with fibre forage. Allow at least 20% of
the total intake of the animal to consist of a quality fibre
source such as cereal hay or straw.

Do not feed this pellet at 100% of diet. Fibre is required.
Induct animals carefully onto feed. Increase intake of
pellets to desired level for 7-10 days to minimise risk of
digestive upset.

Give special attention to controlling the introduction to
excessively hungry or drought-affected animals. Ensure
that access to cool, clean fresh water is always available.

  • Cereal grain, digestible fibre, oilseed protein & oil.
