Sarah: Weight Gain

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Question: I have a 30 pound lamb that I would like to have gain 110 lbs in the next 70 days. How can I accomplish this?

Answer: Sarah,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in HONOR Show Chow Showlamb products.

110 lbs in 70 days equates to about 1.5 lbs per day gain. That is a lot. You can give it a shot by feeding our Showlamb Starter Pellet DX until the lamb is about 50 lbs or so, especially if it is not weaned yet.

If the lamb is still nursing, build a creep feeder and utilize the Showlamb Starter Pellet DX as a creep feed. When the lamb reaches about 50 lbs or so, transition it to our Showlamb Grower DX. This is a textured feed, and will do a great job on your lamb.

To increase growth, I suggest feeding 4% of the lambs bodyweight per day of the Showlamb Grower, and add 8 ounces per day of High Octane Power Fuel, and 8 ounces per day of High Octane Champion Drive.

This will be your best chance at getting the lamb to grow that fast. Also make sure to deworm the lamb effectively once every month.

Thanks again,

Dr. Kevin Burgoon
