In developing our Herd Health 365 block we studied the common issues that all herds face, such as nutrient deficiencies & reproductive issues, while focusing on the five requirements for healthy cattle- roughage, protein, vitamins, minerals & energy. With this in mind we created the Herd Health 365 block for cattle, designed to be used all year round in all pasture conditions for ongoing maintenance, correcting deficiencies & improving productivity.

Our Ewe Beauty 365 block was developed using the same principles; however it is specifically designed to provide optimal nutrition for sheep. We studied the common issues that all flocks face, such as nutrient deficiencies, reproductive issues, lambing survival rates, milk production, and wool growth. Building on this foundation, we created the Ewe Beauty 365 block, a supplement containing a balanced array of trace elements, vitamins, minerals & live probiotics to be used all year round in all pasture conditions.

We’ve recently taken the Herd Health 365 and Ewe Beauty 365 blocks to the next level with the addition of natural and easily digestible microproteins and our new direct-fed microbials (DFMs).

Microproteins are single cell proteins (SCPs), meaning they are made up of edible unicellular microorganisms. It is a fermented biomass of dry matter, bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae. This is a highly digestible protein source that supports gastrointestinal function and animal growth. Most of the protein is rumen bypass, which get delivered to the intestine where it can be absorbed directly as an energy source. The microproteins provide a safe and supportive protein source for young stock.

Olsson’s direct fed microbials (DFMs) are a new all-natural probiotic blend of Bacillus Subtilis and Bacillus Lichenformis. These probiotics are developed to support overall digestive health.

For best results the Herd Health 365 and Ewe Beauty 365 blocks need to be available 365 days of the year. Because the animals self-regulate their nutritional requirements and the blocks are weather resistant, the blocks are cost effective with minimal wastage.

Olsson’s Ewe Beauty 365 gives breeding ewes the best possible nutritional advantage, however due to the increased energy demand during pregnancy and lactation we also recommend supplementing with our Ewe Little Beauty Pre Lambing block. This block is a high-energy block formulated for breeding ewes, designed to support energy levels & nutritional requirements during pregnancy.
