TMR Transition Protocol:
1- The sale and purchase of animals should be on a live weight basis because it can influence the overall profitability/viability of the fattening project.
2- Ideally, at the time of purchase, a fattening animal should weigh 14-16kg and its age should be around 4 months.
3- Newly purchased animals should be quarantined for at least 14 days.
4-Fresh and clean water should always be available in the enclosure.
5-During quarantine, the following vaccination protocol should be adopted: Animals should be vaccinated against prevalent diseases like PPR, Entero Toxemia, and Pleuropneumonia after consultation with the local veterinarian
Benefits of using TMR:
The following are the benefits of the TMR pellet diet developed by modern scientific research:
1. TMR-fed goats achieve an average daily gain of more than 200g per day.
2. Fattening lambs achieve an average daily gain of more than 250g per day.
3. Feeding TMR in pellet form reduces the chances of feed selection by animals. It also reduces issues related to feed selection like acidosis, digestive upsets, and future production performance.
4. Each pellet provides balanced proteins, energy, and vitamins necessary for the growth, production, and reproduction of sheep and goats.
5. Animals reared on straw-based TMR do not require grazing or forage feeding.
6. TMR feeding significantly reduces labor costs.
7. Contrary to bulky straws, the TMR pellets are dense and therefore require less space for storage and transportation.
8. TMR pellet ensures high meat production at a low cost in a shorter period of time.
Research-based TMR formula includes:
Wheat straw, corn grain, wheat bran, soy hulls, sugarcane molasses, soybean meal, canola meal, corn gluten 30%, rapeseed cake, sodium bicarbonate, salt, sheep and goat vitamin-mineral premix, toxin binder, and anti-fungal agent.
