[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 7892871, member: 42308"] It seems they were feeding an 18% protein feed to all 3 groups with adjustments to the trace elements for each group. Unusual for concentrates to be fed to flush ewes here ( maybe not in Saudi Arabia??) [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (87).png"]1003935[/ATTACH] It doesn't say (unless I missed it) how much they were feeding but let's 'guess' at say, 0.5kg/hd/day. So, for female pre-selection, as a daily intake, they were getting 1.2% Ca = 6g (which would be about 15g of something like calcium carbonate) and 0.35% Mg = 1.75g (which would be about 6.25g of something like magnesite). I'm guessing that those types of daily intakes (assuming I've got the maths right) are going to rule out boluses. They also got 4 IU/g of Vit. D (double the male pre-selection ration and 30% more than the control ration). Looks like we need some pre-tupping tubs that have Ca, Mg and Vit. D if we're not going to flush ewes with concentrates.
