Rick, Rick Rick,
the animal and fish proteins raise the flag for me. Sheep are herbivores. My
feeling is if they have good pasture and hay/alfalfa, they should not even need
the grain supplements. I do believe in a good SHEEP mineral for your area
though. They should have a plant/forage based diet in my opinion. Also you
have to worry about the copper content.
I don't know what the FDA mammalian means, I have never seen that.
And some poor people, and elderly have had to resort to eating cat food(canned)
due to $$. I saw this on a program somewhere. Which is so troubling to me.
I usually never take anything "free" as it usually costs too much.(ie dead
sheep) I tell this to the telemarketers anyway.
If you have a grain/feed elevator near you, they might have a animal
nutritionist on staff that could answer your questions.
I would doubt that they would endorse feeding your sheep fish food.

Liz, look at this label and tell me if you see anything that sheep should not
eat: Fish meal, plant protein products, animal protein products, dried yeast
culture, fish oil, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, riboflavin
supplement, niacin supplement, calcium pantothenate, vitamin B12 supplement,
choline chloride, d-biotin, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride,
vitamin E supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K
activity), folic acid, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, manganous sulfate,
potassium iodate, ethylenediamine dihydrodide, ascorbic acid, Not for Human
Consumption. Meets FDA requirements regarding restrictions on mammalian protein
sources.
Thanks,
