Small ruminants are not created equal. Often, companies lump sheep and goats in the same category when it comes to care and management. However, they have different nutritional needs, and therefore, BioZyme® creates targeted nutritional supplements for each species.
DuraFerm ® is a line of nutritional supplements for sheep and goats that supports optimal digestion and nutrition for maximized performance at every stage of production. DuraFerm has created species-specific formulas designed to meet the nutritional requirements for each of these small species.
“We understand that sheep and goats require various nutrients to thrive. For example, our goat mineral contains the copper they need, while our sheep mineral does not,” said Sam Silvers, BioZyme Senior Manager of Small Ruminant Technical Sales Support. “Our nutrition team understands the needs of each species and works to ensure that each formula is targeted to the unique needs.”
DuraFerm For Sheep
DuraFerm offers four products specifically formulated for sheep. The flagship product, DuraFerm® Concept•Aid® Sheep is a free-choice vitamin and mineral supplement for sheep designed to support reproductive success. Like all DuraFerm products, it contains AO-Biotics® Amaferm®, a prebiotic research-proven to enhance digestibility, to ensure that animals get the most nutrients from every bite. It also contains high levels of vitamin E for reproductive tract repair and supports embryo production and conception using organic trace minerals, including zinc, manganese, and selenium.
DuraFerm® Concept•Aid® HEAT® Sheep is a similar formula designed for when temperatures exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It contains proprietary HEAT® technology, a combination of essential oils and garlic, to support animals when heat and insects are a challenge.
DuraFerm® Concept•Aid® Sheep Protein Tub is also designed to ensure reproductive success. It includes the Concept•Aid sheep mineral package in a 16% natural protein tub.
DuraFerm® ONE Sheep is a free-choice vitamin and mineral supplement for sheep designed to promote performance year-round. It meets or exceeds nutrient requirements throughout the production cycle and is formulated with research-proven organic zinc for enhanced bioavailability.
DuraFerm for Goats
BioZyme makes two products for goats. Once again, both products contain Amaferm, a prebiotic research-proven to increase digestibility.
DuraFerm® Concept•Aid® Goat is a free-choice vitamin and mineral supplement for goats designed to support reproductive success. It contains high levels of vitamin E for reproductive tract repair. This goat supplement supports embryo production and conception using organic trace minerals, including copper, zinc, manganese, and selenium.
DuraFerm® Concept•Aid® Goat Protein Tub contains the Concept•Aid goat mineral package in a 20% natural protein tub.
New Look, Same Great Mineral
In an effort to distinguish between our species-specific products, DuraFerm products recently took on a new look. New bags were designed with either a goat or sheep to differentiate the products. Products are now being packaged in new bags for both 50- and 12- pound DuraFerm Concept•Aid Sheep and DuraFerm Concept•Aid Goat Products.
