High in protein, energy and with a full complement of minerals, trace elements and vitamins, Extra High Energy and forage can be all you need to operate a highly effective and profitable sheep rearing system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eFlushing and Tupping: Crystalyx Extra High Energy has been proven by Newcastle University and Kansas State University to increase forage intake by 15% and forage digestion by 10%, the increased intake and digestion is key in ensuring that ewes reach the correct body condition score quickly before mating with the ram. Over fat or thin ewes take longer to come on heat when rams are turned in, and the oestrus period is erratic with fewer eggs shed and are thus more likely to be barren.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eMid Pregnancy Feeding: Should aim to keep ewes in top condition, loss of condition while pregnant will jeopardise placental development and reduce body reserves available for milk production. Trials conducted at Newcastle University found that ewes with access to  Crystalyx Extra High Energy maintained better condition than ewes on grass alone, and their lambs subsequently had a 5% higher growth rate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eWeaning and Finishing Lambs: Weaning can often be a stressful time for lamb’s and many can lose condition due to no longer receiving the nutrients once contained within their mothers milk. Providing lambs with Crystalyx Extra High Energy after weaning provides all the supplementary nutrients necessary to balance grass and make up for the loss of the ewes milk. The high levels of sugar present in Crystalyx stimulates the rumen allowing the lamb to consume and digest more forage resulting in improved growth rates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eOptimises performance by stimulating forage intakes and digestibility while providing all essential mineral, trace elements and vitamins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eIncreases ovulation rates and lamb numbers at scanning\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaintains body condition during pregnancy to maximise lamb vitality and health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReduces the risk of twin lamb disease\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptimises lamb birth weight to produce healthy vigorous lambs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhances ewe milk production for improved lamb daily weight gain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eFeeding Guidelines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eRates:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003e2x 80kg tubs\/100 sheep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003e2x 22.5kg tubs\/40 sheep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eAlways place a minimum of 2 tubs per group to avoid bullying\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-mark=\"1\"\u003eTypical intakes: 40-60g\/ewe\/day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystalyx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53600144687441,"sku":"CRYSTALYX 9501201","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/8229\/1793\/files\/download-2026-04-22T141047.390.jpg?v=1776863491","url":"https:\/\/www.deesidecountrystore.ie\/products\/crystalyx-extra-high-energy-sheep-22-5kg","provider":"Deeside Country Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
