SELEKT Off Feed 785g

Based on SELEKT Fresh Cow 500, SELEKT Off Feed contains potassium to compensate for anorexia, and gentian root to stimulate the appetite. Provides vital nutrients and supports the rumen flora.

The SELEKT formulae are designed for a range of conditions in which cows, sheep and goats benefit from oral fluids and electrolytes, and from clinical nutrition. Use them as soon as you see that the animal needs them. The sooner they are used, the better the results.

FOR COWS: There are important differences between the formulae, so it is essential to use the right one for a given condition.  For example, in some conditions, it is important to give a cow supplementary potassium. In others, supplementary potassium may increase the risk of disease. Farmers should take advice from their vet on which formula or formulae to use.

Some of the SELEKT formulae are powders, some are liquids.  The powders should be dissolved in warm water at a rate of one sachet per 20 litres. The volume of water used per sachet should never be less than this, as harmful effects could ensue. The liquid formulae may be used with solutions of the powder formulae without additional water.

Good dissolution of the powders in water is important. To achieve it, use warm water, and stir the powder in with an implement such as a SELEKT whisk.  If good dissolution is not achieved, undissolved powder will be left in the bucket when all the liquid has been pump-drenched. This means the cow has not received the intended quantity, and some of it has been wasted.

The SELEKT formulae are designed to meet the cow’s needs, not to trim costs. For example, SELEKT Fresh Cow 500 provides a full 500 g of calcium propionate.

Nimrod choose the ingredients carefully, to avoid dustiness and to allow good dissolution. Tests show that no other brand matches the SELEKT formulae for these criteria.

SELEKT Off Feed is 785g of powder packaged in a sachet available individually or in a box of 12 sachets.
