Question: I just started adding Purina High Octane power drive to my lamb feed and now they will not eat it. How do I get them to eat the feed with the power drive mixed in?

Answer: Billie,

Thank you for your email and for choosing HONOR Show Chow showlamb products.

We do not have a product called Power Drive, we have two HIGH OCTANE products called Power Fuel, and Champion Drive.

I am not sure which one you are using. If you are topdressing with Champion Drive topdress, I suggest feeding 8 ounces per day per lamb. You should not have an intake problem with this product.

If you are feeding Power Fuel, that is a very high energy topdress. If this is the one you are attempting to use, I suggest starting very slowly at about 2 ounces per day, and then increase by 2 ounces per day about every 5 days, until you are up to the desired level. The feeding rate on this product is 4 to 8 ounces per day per lamb.

Thanks again,
