SHEEP: What do you recommend for...

…providing sheep with a broad range of minerals?

One of the easiest ways is to provide a durable free access lick. Tub S (Sheep) provides a comprehensive range of nutrients with particular emphasis on key elements such as cobalt and selenium. This Tubby is red in colour and is designed to withstand the harshest weather.

…maintaining a healthy animal appearance?

This can often be a problem, especially when thistles are present in pasture as they can puncture lambs’ lips & gums. We recommend that our best selling product – FRO-BUT is offered at a rate of 1 tub/25 head. Where lamb performance is also important, use FRO-BUT PLUS for its active yeast, hoof hardeners and enhanced levels of cobalt and vitamin B12. Suitable for all lambs from newly born to hoggets.

…maintaining the integrity of sheep’s feet?

This is a huge challenge to all sheep farmers. By feeding Tub SF (Sheep’s Feet) for a minimum of 6-8 weeks, you will provide high levels of Smart Zinc which is shown to help harden hoof structure. For best response it must be fed over a long period and be used in conjunction with good hoof husbandry. High cobalt, selenium and calcium will also support overall health. Now contains maximum recommended levels of biotin for further hoof integrity.

…the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis?

This condition is accepted as seriously affecting young lambs start to life, but can also have equally devastating effects on newly weaned stock. Our COXI-CLEAR family of medicated Tubbys contain a proven source of decoquinate to either treat infected lambs or help prevent the condition. They can also be offered to ewes pre-lambing to give a "window of protection" at lambing. Consider COXI-CLEAR 3in1 which will add the benefits of Fro-But (see above) or COXI-CLEAR 4in1 which has the action of cocci control, Fro-But and hoof hardeners. All versions contain a comprehensive mineral specification. » ORDER: COXI-CLEAR LAMB, COXI-CLEAR EWE, COXI-CLEAR 3in1, COXI-CLEAR 4in1

…maximising ewe fertility?

When energy levels are correct in the diet, Tub TUP provides the answer. It should be introduced 2 weeks prior to the rams going in to help fertility levels. A high concentration of pure phosphorus crystals combined with targeted trace elements ensure the ewe has ad-lib access to what she needs to help produce a tight and busy lambing. Contains ACETONA to boost energy metabolism and fertility.

…bring ewes in season more quickly?

If lambing is being brought forward, this may be a prime requirement. Orvec Super Tup should be fed to all ewes 3 weeks prior to the introduction of rams and should continue for a full 6 weeks. One tub covers a full course for 15 ewes and, like its sister product Quick Serve, will help stimulate sexual activity in stock by kick starting the reproductive cycle.

…an easy lambing that gets lambs up and suckling quickly?

This begins with correct ewe nutrition in the last 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. Tub PPL (Pre & Post Lambing) is one of our best. Supplying the industry recommended and proven levels of selenium and vitamin E to the unborn lamb via the placenta, this provides the lamb with an instant energy source before it first suckles. This is aided by balanced levels of calcium and magnesium to help ewe muscle tone for an easier lambing. Feed 6-8 weeks pre and 4 weeks post-lambing.

…helping lambs finish that bit quicker?

Lambs that aren’t thriving cost extra each day they are on farm. The ingredients in Tub LF (Lamb Finisher) can promote efficient feed conversion and improve live weight gains. High calcium will help build a good frame and aid muscle development along with yeast to enhance rumen function. A real benefit here is the inclusion of permitted Special Copper. Now contains the highest levels of vitamin B12 to further boost lamb growth and finishing efficiency.
» ORDER: TUB LF

…getting rams ready for work?

The ram is probably the most expensive animal in the flock, but the one that is nutritionally ignored the most. That is why we have produced Tub RAM. It is a multi-function product and finds a place with young or old, pedigree or commercial rams. Magnesium free, with anionic salts and Smart Zinc it is formulated to stimulate reproductive organs for the mating period and to encourage good development in young rams. The inclusion of nutrients which are key to hoof integrity is also an important feature.

…aiding the prevention of twin lamb (Acetonaemia)?

Twin Lamb Disease is a nutritional condition which can be addressed by feeding a dietetic feedstuff. Tub TL (Twin Lamb) is packed with energy catalysts, sugars, essential magnesium, vitamin D3 and our unique ingredient, Acetona™. This will help keep the liver functioning properly, convert body reserves into useable energy and keep the appetite sharp without extra stress being placed on the ewes’ rumen.
» ORDER: TUB TL

...reducing parasitic attack & irritation?

Bug-A-Tub has been formulated with Para-Guard, an inclusion that is absorbed into the blood stream, altering the blood palatability, making it unpalatable and hostile for blood sucking parasites such as Ticks & Lice. This will see the parasites leave the animal in search of another host.
Bug-A-Tub also contains Live Yeast-Ex and a full vitamin & mineral spectrum to improve feed efficiency and conversion, and to help balance any deficiencies in the grazing. This is combined with specific herbal ingredients to cleanse the gut and digestive system.
This tub has been designed for sheep, but can also be used for cattle when challenged.

CATTLE: What do you recommend for...

...maintaining nutritional levels for good coat condition and appearance?

Four of the key elements here are usually Iodine, Copper, Zinc and Selenium. If you are looking for higher levels of these, then look no further as Tub CC (Cattle Conditioning) has all 4 in abundance. This is an ideal product for calves and heifers to promote a rich, healthy appearance or for cows pre-calving that need to maintain iodine levels.
» ORDER: TUB CC

…adding essential trace elements to the diet?

All Tubby products come with a full mineral spectrum, but TUB CP (Cattle Protected) pays particular attention to Special Copper, Smart Zinc and Protected Selenium. The inclusion of Biotin will also have a positive effect on hoof structure. This is ideal to be fed to any class of stock, especially growing animals or breeding cows after service.

…reducing fly nuisance in cattle?

Research has found that fly distress can cost cattle up to 300g/day in lost weight gains. Tub FLY contains the unique fly dispersant “Repel-Ex™”. This blend of 15 ingredients works through the animals’ system to leave an odour barrier around the animal which flies find hostile, thus reducing the nuisance factor. All major minerals are included as well as a concentrated level of trace elements and vitamins making this a real dual-purpose Tubby. Not recommended for lactating dairy cows.
» ORDER: TUB FLY

…supplying correct nutrition pre-calving?

An unborn calf will grow by approximately 70% in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy, placing huge stress on any cow whether dairy or suckler. By feeding Tub EC (Easi-Calver) from 8 weeks pre-calving you will provide that cow with the best possible chance of an easy calving and a strong calf. A calcium free formulation with high iodine, selenium and vitamin E will support a stress free period. Tub EC is now also available with the choice of our hugely successful fly dispersant “Repel-Ex™” to help reduce the fly nuisance associated with summer calving.
» ORDER: TUB EC or EC+FLY

…help tighten up my calving period?

This is one of the biggest challenges as it cannot be addressed overnight. Tub QS (Quick Serve) is a unique fertility supplement that works by kick-starting the reproductive cycle. It promotes oestrus in cows by supplying unique ingredients which stimulate organs within the body. Feed for a period of 6 weeks, from 3 weeks prior to the bull being introduced. All other minerals should be withdrawn at this point, but ensure magnesium cover at critical times. One 14kg tub is a standard course for 5 cows.
» ORDER: ORVEC QUICK SERVE (TUB QS)

…stopping cows licking walls and drinking urine?

These symptoms show that the underlying problem is with the animals’ digestive process. Tub AUD (Anti-Urine Drinking) will help balance rumen acidity as well as improve digestion. Feed alongside the current mineral programme until improvements are seen.
» ORDER: TUB AUD

…giving calves the best possible start in life?

Every calf should be given the best nutrition as a lifetime of production starts here. Tub CF (Calf Tubby) is full of ingredients to aid rumen development, growth rate, coat condition and skeletal frame. Now with the inclusion of Breath-Ezee, it will help maintain a healthy respiratory system and reduce coughing. This is a must for all young stock.
» ORDER: TUB CF

…treating and preventing coccidiosis in calves?

Over 80% of dairy and suckler calves suffer from clinical or sub-clinical coccidiosis. COXI-CLEAR CALF will ensure that this scouring disease will not be allowed to affect growth rates or let condition suffer. Containing a concentrated coccidiostat, it also has gut conditioners to assist rumen development. All young stock whether housed or at grass should have access to this product.
» ORDER: COXI-CLEAR CALF

…supplying nutrients to cows and calves?

The best of both worlds is needed here as cows and calves have different requirements. Tub SLS (Suckler Licking Stone) contains 10% magnesium as well as selenium, copper and vitamin E which matches a cows needs. When calves have access, the inclusion of yeast will aid rumen function which has a positive effect on growth rates as well as calcium to help build a strong frame. This is a dual-action Tubby that has become the standard for suckler herds.
