Enhancing the Rations

- coarsely rolling or grinding straw cereals
- finely grinding corn grain
- Reformlate the ration with your nutritionist, as the advised dose of treated cereals depends on the ration
Dose of treated cereal not to be exceeded per animal: 1.5-2kg/100kg live weight. Follow the expert’s recommendations.
For fattening cattle dry (no-silage) rations

Then increase to a complete dose over an eight day period.
You can increase to up to 6kg per animal depending on the ration. Ask your nutritionist for advice.
