As the days grow shorter and the temperatures start to drop, we need to be looking ahead to our winter stock management.
Hoggets can often struggle in the colder months, especially if they're pregnant. They should still be growing well to ensure they hit their full mature weight as early as possible.
For this reason, your hoggets must be considered priority stock. Now is the time to assess and plan for things like feed quality, any changes in feed, parasite burdens, and trace element supplementation. The product Vitamin ADE (containing vitamins A, D, and E) is a good supplement option – it’s sometimes nicknamed ‘Liquid Sunshine’.
Get in touch with your KeyVet to have a yarn about some of these factors, as well as potential product options, to ensure your hoggets come through wintertime in great condition.
