GUIDELINES
- Deworming and vaccination program must be followed to ensure that proper results are observed
- Roughage must be ground to ± 25 – 30mm length
- An implant can be inserted behind the ear to ensure that feed conversion is improved
- Animals should be adapted as follows:
- Day 1 and 2: Provide complete feed at 1% of body weight.
- Day 3 and 4: Provide complete feed at 1,5% of body weight.
- Day 5 and 6: Provide complete feed at 2% of body weight.
- Day 7 and 8: Provide complete feed at 2,5% of body weight.
- Day 9 and 10: Provide complete feed at 3% of body weight.
- After the adaptation phase, the animal is properly adapted to the new diet and only the complete feed needs to be provided until the animal is slaughter-ready.
- Should you prefer to use a Zilmax phase as well in the completion process, please contact your Molatek salesperson.
