If you look at the ewes in the tunnel at the far end, you'll see they're eating out of walkthrough troughs at right angles to the feeding passage, they're 12 ft long and i can throw the meal from the feeding passage....can you put some in to your setuphttps://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/704803/404610.JPG

rangler1 wrote: Thanks, feeding meal instead of hay or silage reduces the hardship hugely, those ewes are only getting bedded plus .5kg meal/day at the moment but they'll go up to 1kgmeal/ day in february...
roosky wrote: » So no silage or hay??.. My ewes for example twins will get silage and then meal from 7 weeks out building from 200g to 700g How do you do it....just 500g every day housed and then build from a few weeks out ?
rangler1 wrote: » yea, count .5kg meal +straw as equal to silage and supplement from there, I need to be at 1.25 kgs for the last two weeks pregnancy, so they're fed 3 times a day then It sounds expensive compared to pit silage but not compared to average silage in round bales Just edited to say that they're on a high energy hogget finisher ration a the moment, 14%P.
