Typical analysis (approximate on a dry matter basis)
| Energy* | 12.5 MJ ME/kg DM |
| Protein | 20% |
| Moisture | 12% |
*Metabolisable Energy (ME) values are calculated by a registered laboratory from an equation and are not an actual measured value. Therefore they are only a guide for predicting the energy content of a feed.
Feeding recommendation to aid in the control of coccidiosis
To aid in the control of coccidiosis, minimum dose rate of 5mg Bovatec®/kg liveweight (1mg lasalocid sodium/kg liveweight) is required per day. Up to twice this dose rate is indicated where severe coccidial challenge is expected or a wide range of individual liveweights occur within a group.
Approximate feeding rate to deliver 1mg/kg of lasalocid sodium per kg calf liveweight.
| CALF WEIGHT (LIVEWEIGHT) | Quantity (kg) of GrowUp 20% feed/day/calf |
| 40kg | 0.4kg |
| 50kg | 0.5kg |
| 60kg | 0.6kg |
| 70kg | 0.65kg |
| 80kg | 0.75kg |
| 90kg | 0.83kg |
| 100kg | 0.93kg |
| 108kg | 1.0kg |
