Weaners in Southern Queensland and New England

At the time of weaning, young cattle may not have a fully functional rumen – it can be relatively small in capacity and with an immature supply of microbes used for digestion. To help augment this, weaners should have access to a supplement with the following attributes:

• Low levels of urea
• High levels of vegetable protein
• Highly palatable
• Balanced for calcium and phosphorus
• Contains monensin or lasalocid for prevention of coccidiosis. These products also have registered claims for growth rate and feed conversion.
