Help your lambs shiver! 🐑❄️

Did you know - selenium is essential for muscle function which allows newborn lambs to shiver, accounting for 50% of their heat production which is essential on a cold spring day.

Our Energyze Vitality buckets and ewe compounds contain Sel-Plex, an organic, yeast based selenium that is readily absorbed and utilised.

Ketosis is one of the most common metabolic diseases affecting dairy cows in the UK and Ireland. It typically occurs when a cow is unable to meet the energy demands of early lactation. Ketosis causes her to go off her feed, resulting in weight loss and a drop in milk production. 🐄
