Fungus Prevention - Helpful Hints
Prevent Show Lamb Fungus Before It Starts
- Stop-N-Grow Feed all natural Stop-N-Grow fungus prevention feed additive and wool restorer.
This will help prevent fungus and ringworm by building immunity through the internal side of the lamb. A pellet organic iodine and black walnut oil is easy to feed once a day as a top-dress. Lambs consume all the ingredients since it is in pellet form vs. picking through other granular additives. (Contains black walnut oil.) Start feeding when the lamb is 60 lbs or larger & feed “Stop-N-Grow” for at least 3-4 weeks to get ingredients in the lambs system to have an effect.
