1 The optimum feeds for goats, deer and camelids

2 181 CAPRI mix Mix for the development and daily sustenance of goats and deer Tasty mix of concentrated pellets (65%) and grain flakes (corn and barley) Balanced protein pattern High levels of vitamins and minerals With molasses To be given in addition to roughage Suitable for show animals 20 kg and bulk IMPORTANT! 181 contains extra copper. Not suitable for sheep that are sensitive to copper! CODE PROTEIN% FAT % 181 Feeds for herbivores VIT.A CELLULOSE% ASH % 8,6 7, ZINC 126 VEM DVA OEB 10 p. 3-5 AVEVE always has suitable mixed feeds for goats and deer as well as camelids. Licks and lick pails 3,3 p. 6-7 The daily requirements of minerals needed varies from animal to animal. The daily requirements depend on age, body weight, pregnancy, lactation period, fluid loss and milk yield. Licks provide your animals with salt, minerals and trace elements. There is no danger of an overdose as the animal is able to lick as needed Milk goat pellets content 2 15 Feed for the milk production of goats and deer Easy to digest feed with quick absorption Guarantees high milk production and good constitution of the milk High energy content High protein content Balanced protein pattern High in vitamins and minerals 25 kg In addition to good quality roughage 0.5 kg per kg of milk produced Smaller amounts as a maintenance feed CODE 182 PROTEIN% FAT % 20 4,5 VIT.A CELLULOSE % ASH % 11,4 6, ZINC 58 VEM DVA OEB

3 Kubilam An important aid in all situations in which the mother does not produce enough colostrum Colostrum substitute for goat kids and fawns Provides antibodies essential for survival Is an important energy source that helps keep the body temperature of the young animals at the right level Can be combined with the mother s colostrum as an extra safety measure pouch 20 gr 228 Ovilac Artificial milk substitute for kids and fawns Soluble artificial milk powder To be given after having received colostrum or a colostrum substitute Suitable for orphaned animals As supplemental feed if there is insufficient milk yield, large litters or early weaning As a complete substitute for the mother s milk 5 kg and 25 kg Follow the instructions on the package carefully! Colostrum substitute may never be boiled! Feed the colostrum in a bottle or an oesophagus catheter Always be as hygienic as possible when giving milk! Clean all materials daily with warm water and disinfectant. 181 can be given from the second week. The kids can be weaned when they are absorbing 250gr of feed in addition to hay, grass or other roughage. Ensure that fresh drinking water is always available. CODE PROTEIN % FAT % CELLULOSE % VIT.A ASH % ,5 20,5 0, Feed for kids and fawns It is important that the rumen of lambs and calves begins to work gradually. Providing good-quality roughage at an early stage is very important. Feed lambs and calves Capri 181 as a supplement from the second week. Building up the daily amount of feed must occur gradually. Eating too much feed decreases the amount of roughage eaten, which can disrupt the functioning of the rumen. Kids can be weaned at 8 to 12 weeks.weight (15 kg) is often a better indicator than age in determining when to wean. In any case, weaning may only occur when the kids are taking in a sufficient amount of roughage and feed. Weaning is a stressful time for the kids and calves thus making them more susceptible to all types of germs. Ensure that the weaning period does not occur at the same time as other possible stressful situations. Giving roughage before feed promotes chewing and saliva production which prevents such problems as obstruction of the oesophagus and ruminal acidosis. 186 Well-being pellets for alpacas Supplemental animal feed for herbivores, specifically for camelids, such as alpacas, llamas and camels Tasty supplemental pellet Contains very high amounts of essential vitamins, such as vitamin A, D3 and E Contains a high fibre content for healthy digestion Give sparingly as a supplement to roughage 25 kg Maximum 150 to 200 g/day/adult animal (approx. ±50kg) 5 CODE PROTEIN % FAT% CELLULOSE % VIT.A ASH % KOPER ZINK ,

4 KNZ Wild Lick Mineral lick for deer Contains a high amount of trace elements required for optimum absorption of feed, a well-balanced ration and ideal growth of deer/ elk/moose 10 kg KNZ Multi Mineral lick for all animals Provides your animal with the daily requirements of vitamins/minerals, including animals with an iron deficiency Can also be given to sheep (contains no copper). Rumi Lik Lick pail for goats and sheep 7 licks & lick pails licks & lick pails 6 10 kg Vitamin and mineral mix as a supplement to the ration Beneficial to fertility In the pasture or stable 20 kg Gar Lik Lick pail to combat flies for all animals Based on plant extracts (garlic) Rich in minerals, trace elements and vitamins Without copper Do not give to milk-producing livestock as the milk odour & taste can change 20 kg Tip! Goats and deer are herd animals. Ensure they always have contact with a sufficient number of their own sort. Only roe deer are, in principle, solitary animals.
