Herbivore All-in-One Pellets
The Epol Herbivore All-in-One is a versatile, balanced production pellet designed for use across multiple ruminant species, including cattle, sheep, goats, and various game species. It is specifically formulated to be a "one-bag solution," supporting animals through various production stages such as growth, maintenance, pregnancy, and lactation. A key safety feature of this formula is the addition of ammonium sulphate, which helps provide protection against the development of bladder stones (urinary calculi), a common issue in male ruminants like rams and bulls.
Important Note: This product contains Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN) and is strictly intended for ruminants. It is not suitable for non-ruminant animals such as horses, zebras, or rhinos.

Key Features
The formula is built on a natural protein base and is scientifically balanced to boost performance and productivity. It is particularly effective as a production supplement for animals on green pastures or as a drought supplement when natural grazing is scarce. The high-quality mineral and vitamin profile supports healthy fetal growth in pregnant females and increased milk production in lactating animals.
Feeding Recommendations
For all species, it is recommended to introduce the feed gradually over a period of several days to allow the rumen to adapt to the NPN content.
- Cattle (Finishing): Adapt over three days and feed ad libitum (free choice) alongside roughage or grazing.
- Bulls: Feed approximately 1 kg to 6 kg per day, or up to 1% of body weight.
- Sheep and Goats (Finishing): Adapt slowly and feed ad libitum with roughage.
- Ewes and Does: Feed as a "flush" feed (3 weeks before and after mating) or as a supplement for lactating animals at no more than 1% of body weight.
- Game: Use as a protein supplement, feeding 1 kg to 3 kg per day for large game (e.g., Eland, Kudu) and 200 g to 600 g for smaller species.
