WARNING
- When changing from an NPN-free ration to a ration containing NPN, it is suggested that the two feeds are mixed in a 50/50 ratio for 4 to 6 days.
- Protect this feed against rain. NPN is very soluble and animals that drink such a solution might be poisoned.
- Do not feed this feed indiscriminately with other NPN containing farm feeds. Consult an Animal Nutritionist.
- Vinegar is an effective remedy against NPN poisoning. Mix with an equal amount of water and dose half a bottle per calf or large sheep or between 2 to 4 bottles per head of cattle (1 bottle = 750ml).
