VOERMOL LANDELEK
Class Protein and Trace Mineral Supplement for Ruminants
VOERMOL LANDELEK has been developed to manage the feeding problems and deficiencies in crop residues of summer grains and stubble fields of small grains. Voermol Landelek is a protein-trace mineral supplement for sheep, cattle and goats:
- is already mixed (use as is);
- contains buffers to control acidosis;
- contains anionic salts to limit the forming of bladder stones;
- contains medium quality bypass protein and at least 32.7 % of the protein is derived from natural protein sources;
- supplies sufficient amounts of all seven essential trace minerals;
- is a molasses based product which is palatable and ensures good intakes. In addition, the lick will not blow away in the wind.
APPLICATION OF VOERMOL LANDELEK - Landelek is recommended for young growing animals, like weaners and weaner lambs. Landelek can also be used with success for cows with calves and ewes with lambs;
- is recommended for use on crop residues of maize, grain sorghum and sunflowers as well as stubble fields of small grains;
- it can be used with success to fatten lambs or ewes with lambs on unharvested maize.
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

NB Voermol Landelek in conjunction with the above-mentioned management principles will drastically decrease the risk of acidosis. However, since certain animals in a flock may eat little or no lick, it cannot be guaranteed that acidosis will not occur. Contains medicaments and must therefore not be fed to horses.
