The
diets are based upon research by Professors Doug
Hogue and Mike Thonney that showed that including highly digestible fiber sources -
like soybean hulls, wheat midds, or corn gluten feed - in diets improved feed intake by meeting the
fiber needs of rumen microorganisms.
Since 2007 we have been including higher levels of vitamin E in our diets because blood levels in ewes were low and because there is research summarized in the recent edition of Nutrient Requiremenst of Ruminants suggest that higher levels than in the past are needed to support reproduction and growth. We thank Adisseo for providing the vitamin E.
