FAQ

Q. Can you feed CMR's to lambs?
A. It is not recommended that CMR's are fed to lambs due to the lower amount of fat that is in a CMR. This will lead to reduced growth rates and could cause severe animal health issues.

Q. Can I measure the powder out with a cup?
A. We strongly recommend using scales to weigh the powder as the density of the CMR and LMR can change significantly enough between batches that a standard measuring device, like a cup, will not consistently be accurate.

Q. How many grams do the scoops hold in the Anlamb bags?
A. They are designed as 40 gram scoops. However, we strongly recommend weighing your powder to achieve the best results.

Q. How should I store left over CMR and LMR?
A. The CMR and LMR should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry environment free from rodents and birds to avoid contamination or spoiling.

Q. How many litres does a 20kg bag of CMR make?
A. It depends strongly on the feed rate that is been used. If the CMR is mixed at a rate of 150 grams/litre then you will get 133 litres of solution/bag. If the CMR is mixed at 125 grams/litre then you will get 160 litres of solution/bag.

Q. What is the recommended mixing rate of Brutus for weaners and mature pigs?
A. The mixing rate is 200 grams per litre. It can be added to dry feed also.

Q. Can I feed Brutus to piglets?
