Moist Citrus Feed & PPH (Pyrexia Pruitis Haemorrhagic Syndrome)

Citrus Pulp has in the past been circumstantially linked to PPH (Pyrexia Pruitis Haemorrhagic Syndrome) which can lead to animal fatalities. Although the incidence of this is rare, care should always be taken when storing and feeding Moist Citrus Pulp to any and all classes of livestock. Because of the high acidity levels in Moist Citrus Pulp, feeding levels should not be exceeded.

N.B. Care should be taken to introduce Moist Citrus Feed slowly into all diets over a period of seven to ten days to achieve full intake level.
