    What products are available to comply with Mineral supplementation under the scheme, must be supplemented post breeding for 60 days, and the product must specify this.

    Give them a bolus that's supposed to last sixty days, Animax or Mayohealthcare

    Any drench will do as long as it states how long they last. Some will say 4 weeks so will have to of bought enough to cover them twice to make up the 60 days and written down you’ve gave it to them twice 30 days apart

    You'd just like to be leaving them alone for a month after mating, the pregnancy isn't really settled for a month

    Ideally yes. Have trailered sheep in middle of tipping & never a issue. If sheep are used to being handled it doesn’t bother them

    I did say you need the minerals bought only!!

    Enough said, It's not what you do it's what you record. :rolleyes:
    The embryo isn't 'safe' for at least 40 - 50 days , even trough feeding can cause embryo loss

    Well if it's not written down it didn't happen. The natural corrollary is it is written down so it must have happened.

    If ewes were to get a bolus this week say, but the Rams weren't let out for another 3 weeks, would this cover the sheep welfare scheme? Or do they have to receive the bolus the day Rams go out to meet requirements?

    Animax lasts three mths or more, I presume so do others so the right ones can be got, Just make sure that's written on the tin
