Feeding Directions

  • Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets is suitable for feeding to cattle weighing greater than 120 kg liveweight. Cattle weighing less than 120 kg liveweight should be fed Barastoc Calf Rearer Pellets or Cubes until they reach this weight.
  • Before starting to feed Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets ensure that the appropriate animal husbandry procedures are completed – consult a veterinarian for advice. Cattle of similar size and age should be drafted into groups.
  • Before starting to feed Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets ensure that all cattle have been fed with palatable hay to appetite for the first day – ensure that all cattle are full with palatable hay.
  • Start feeding cattle with Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets at a rate of 0.5 kg per 100 kg liveweight per day. Gradually increase the rate of feeding each day for the next 21 days up to the desired level of feeding, or up to 2 kg per 100 kg liveweight per day.
  • Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets can either be fed in troughs or self-feeders.
  • When feeding Rumevite Beef Weaner Pellets in a self-feeder or trough, ensure that dry pasture, or palatable hay is readily available, and that cattle are able to eat this forage to appetite at all times.
  • When using self-feeders, adjust slide settings to regulate feed intake and achieve recommended feeding rates. The feeder slide should be set so that cattle have to lick the feed out from under the slide.
  • When feeding in self-feeders, weaners will require 7.5 – 15 cm of trough space per head.
  • When feeding in troughs, weaners will require up 25 – 30 cm of trough space per head, depending on their liveweight.
