Energy requirements rise noticeably in sheep and goats during the final weeks of pregnancy and the start of lactation. Insufficient energy intake during this period raises the risk of pregnancy toxaemia — a serious condition that threatens the health of both the mother and offspring.
In multiple pregnancies (ewes/does carrying twins or triplets), the energy gap forms faster, since reduced abdominal space also limits feed intake. A dense, easily accessible energy source becomes especially important at this point.
Gold Sheep & Goat Energy provides a dosage and balanced mineral profile tailored to small ruminants during this critical period, helping reduce the risk of pregnancy toxaemia while also supporting post-partum milk yield and lamb/kid growth.
Offered free-choice to the flock from late pregnancy through the first 6 weeks of lactation, the bucket delivers consistent energy support without requiring extra labour.
