Product overview

Start with forage. Adjust for the species and stage.

Sheep and goats share ruminant biology, but they should not automatically share one mineral programme.

Greenagro small-ruminant programmes are developed for the specific needs of sheep and goats across maintenance, growth, pregnancy and lactation. Local forage quality and production objectives guide each recommendation.

The Sheep & Goat Premix Programme is considered within the complete diet and the farm system—not as a stand-alone recipe. Each recommendation connects the species and animal group with forage quality, season, actual intake, management and a defined production objective.

Starting point

Forage & season

Build from the pasture, browse and conserved forage the group can realistically consume at this point in the year.

Mineral responsibility

Species awareness

Use species-appropriate products and prevent unsuitable cross-feeding, especially where sheep mineral sensitivity narrows the safety margin.

Biological context

Stage & objective

Change the programme as growth, breeding, pregnancy, lactation or meat production changes the demand.

Programme areas

One forage-first method. Five changing priorities.

The animal group, condition, forage, measured intake, season and production plan determine when the programme moves from one priority to the next.

01 · Growth & replacement

Young stock

Supports feed discovery, rumen development, weaning and controlled growth according to future breeding or meat-production objectives.

Lambs & kids · Development
02 · Condition & preparation

Breeding

Connects body condition, liveweight trend, forage quality and the breeding plan before reproductive demand rises.

Ewes & does · Preparation
03 · Changing gestational demand

Pregnancy

Develops from condition maintenance into the more concentrated priorities of late pregnancy as intake capacity and fetal demand change.

Early to late pregnancy
04 · Milk & recovery

Lactation

Relates milk demand, number of young, forage intake, clean water and body-reserve change to the feeding programme.

Milk production · Dam condition
05 · Growth & finishing

Meat production

Aligns controlled growth and finishing with forage value, intake, health, feed efficiency and the farm’s market objective.

Growing stock · Market target
Species-specific planning

The five areas provide the structure. Final recommendations depend on the intended species, analysed feeds, mineral context, health and farm conditions.

Whole-system perspective

Close the nutritional gap—not every possible gap.

The purpose is to identify what this group requires beyond its forage base, then confirm that access and management allow the programme to work.

Forage supply

Know the feed base

Inventory and analysis turn seasonal pasture, browse and stored forage into a usable nutritional starting point.

Access & grouping

Reach every animal

Trough space, dominance, grouping, water and mineral access determine whether the intended programme reaches the whole group.

Animal response

Review what changes

Condition, liveweight, growth, milk, reproduction and health observations guide the next decision.

Technical selection

The framework is shared. The recommendation remains farm-specific.

Selected according to species, physiological stage, forage analysis and farm management.

Request technical guidance
01

Species & group

Sheep or goats, breed, liveweight, physiological stage, body condition, health status and group variation.

02

Forage basis

Pasture, browse, hay, silage and purchased feeds reviewed through current availability, analysis and realistic intake.

03

Mineral context

Existing mineral products, water, access, storage and any cross-feeding risk between sheep, goats and other ruminants.

04

Farm objective

Replacement, reproduction, milk, growth or meat targets together with the records used to review animal response.

General information—never a complete formulation.

Exact composition, inclusion, mineral specifications and feeding directions are established through Greenagro technical consultation using the relevant species, animal, forage, feed and farm information.
