DuraFerm Sheep Concept Aid

A reproductive-focused sheep mineral system designed to support cycling, embryo production, conception, and breeding success—especially when fed in the key window prior to lambing through breeding (commonly referenced as ~30 days pre-lambing through ~30 days post-breeding, depending on program).

DuraFerm Sheep Concept Aid is positioned as a flagship sheep mineral because it pairs targeted reproductive nutrition (including elevated vitamin support and organic trace minerals) with Amaferm®, a research-backed prebiotic used to support digestion and utilization of the forage-based diet typical in sheep systems.

What Makes DuraFerm Sheep Concept•Aid Different

  • Repro-first design: specifically described as targeting cycling, embryo production, and conception when fed prior to lambing through breeding.

  • Includes Amaferm®, positioned as improving energy availability from feed/forage and supporting fertility and milk production outcomes.

  • Includes higher vitamin support (notably Vitamin E) and organic trace minerals in the Concept•Aid positioning for reproductive support.

  • HEAT® option for summer conditions when ewes commonly struggle to maintain intake and stay bred.

  • Tub option provides a low-labor delivery format for operations that prefer cooked tubs over loose mineral.

Best Fit For

Best fit:

  • Ewes entering the reproductive window where conception and keeping ewes bred matters most

  • Summer breeding programs that struggle with heat and low intake (use the HEAT® option)

  • Flocks needing a dependable, free-choice mineral with repro-first positioning (not just maintenance)

  • Producers wanting the option of a tub format for convenience or where loose mineral management is difficult

NOT Ideal For

DuraFerm Sheep Concept•Aid may not be the best choice if:

  • You’re only looking for the lowest-cost maintenance mineral (this is designed around reproduction outcomes)

  • You won’t be able to maintain consistent access/intake (results depend on steady consumption)

  • You need a totally different supplementation strategy because forage access is inadequate (minerals/tubs complement forage, they don’t replace it)

Key Benefits

  • Supports reproductive success (cycling, conception, and keeping ewes bred)

  • Digestive/forage-utilization support with Amaferm®

  • HEAT® variation for hot weather reproductive challenges

  • Flexible delivery options: loose mineral or cooked protein tub

When to Choose DuraFerm Sheep Concept•Aid
