Rabbits and rodents

• Provide sufficient drinking water, preferably from a water bottle.
• If subjected to a change of scenery (show, moving house), reduce feed to avoid intestinal problems.
• Have regular feeding times, e.g. in the morning and evening.
• Make sure the feed does not go off and it does not show the first stages of decomposition. This may cause diarrhoea.

Chickens

• Put separate bowls of Teurlings Maagkiezel (Gizzard Grit) and Teurlings Oesterschelpengrit (Shell Pieces) in the coop. The gizzard grit stones are to help grind the food in the gizzard, while the grit provides extra mineral nourishment (calcium).
• Feed max. 10% cereal in addition to complete feed. The evening is the best time to do this.
• Give your chickens fresh, leafy greens in small quantities.
• Cat litter may be used instead of sand in the coop. Cat litter is highly absorbent, which can help to prevent coccidiosis and worm infections.
• Make sure there is always a supply of fresh clean drinking water.
• Clean feeders/troughs and bottles regularly.
• During the breeding season, make sure that the eggs produced cannot cool too quickly. This will have an adverse effect on fertility.
• In cold periods (and when the temperature drops below freezing) collect eggs several times a day.
• Keep eggs between 10°C and 15°C.

Ornamental wildfowl

• At specific times of the year, Teurlings waterbird grain can be added to the feed. The amount depends on the type of wildfowl (up to 1/3).
• Do not make any rapid changes to the feed pattern – mix feeds for the first few days.
• Feed wildfowl grit and gizzard stones as well.

Horses

• Horses are sensitive to colic. Feed and feeding methods must therefore attempt to prevent colic, so:
• Provide fresh, lukewarm drinking water.
• Give horses three 'main meals' a day.
• Give them fresh, good-quality hay, paying attention to the balance of raw food/concentrates in their food. Never put mouldy or dusty hay in the stable.
• Never give horses frozen feed.
• Give horses an hour to digest a ‘main meal’.
• Worm your horses regularly with a good wormer.
• If necessary, have your horses’ manure checked for the presence of worm eggs.
• If the feed is stored in a bulk-bin feeder, make sure it is cleaned regularly. Mould may, over time, be created in the bulk bin.
• Pay attention to the horses’ condition.

Sheep and goats

• Make sure that goats have enough clean, fresh drinking water.
• The amounts of feed stated above are approximations only; consider first the weather conditions and the condition of your animals.
• Goats allowed outside in frost and snow need extra raw food and concentrate.
• Teurlings sheep feed contains no copper.
• Goats have a greater need for copper than sheep, Feed goats goat pellets rather than sheep pellets.
