Ram, Lamb & Ewe 13 Pellets
The Epol Ram, Lamb & Ewe 13 is a versatile sheep production pellet designed for young sheep, dry and lactating ewes, rams, and wethers. It is formulated to provide a balanced nutrient profile that performs best when supplemented with high-quality roughage or grazing. This feed is particularly effective for maintaining body condition and supporting the high nutritional demands of lactation.

Key Features
This product contains a blend of grains, grain by-products, plant protein products, and added oils and fats. It is fully fortified with essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes to improve digestibility. As it contains Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN) in the form of feed-grade Urea, it is strictly for ruminants and requires a specific adaptation period to prevent digestive issues or poisoning.
Feeding Recommendations
For best results, this feed should be provided in addition to ad libitum roughage or pastures.
- Ewes and Young Sheep: 250 g to 500 g per day.
- Lactating Ewes: 500 g to 750 g per day.
- Rams and Wethers: Maximum 500 g per day.
Important Safety Warning (NPN/Urea)
Because this feed contains Urea, it must be protected from rain, as dissolved NPN can be toxic if consumed in liquid form. When transitioning from an NPN-free feed, animals should be adapted over a 4 to 6-day period using a 50/50 mixture. In the event of suspected NPN poisoning, vinegar mixed with an equal amount of water is a recommended emergency remedy (consult a veterinarian immediately).
