Make your own natural nutrient drench!

Do you wish you didn't have to rely on synthetic nutrient excito toxin storebought products?  Look no further!   I love making this for my does, alpacas and mares after they birth.  It's  easy to stir into warm water which most animals will readily slurp up.   Serve it immediately after birthing.  It can also be offered during prolonged birthing (in that case I also offer up Ewe-Ter-N(tm) which supplies what the body needs to enable it to have well timed efficient contractions and usually a faster expulsion of the afterbirth).

Combine Black Strap molasses, olive oil, cayenne and BetterDaze(tm) herb mix with enough hot water to make it easy to drench (or add it to their grain, mash or water).

The molasses needs to be Black Strap unsulphured.  The cheaper grades are primarily sugar and very little mineral, which will weaken your animal's muscular strength and remove some minerals from their body).  It provides valuable iron in a safe form as well as many other minerals and B vitamins to help support a tired or stressed body.  This is often a health food store item.    50 - 100 lb animals get 1/2 tablespoon,  100 to 200 lb animals get 1 tbsp, 200-400 lb animals get 2 tbsp (1/8 cup).  400 to 800 lb animals get 3 tbsp.   800- 1300 lb animals get 1/2 cup.

The olive oil provides easy to utilize calories as well as being soothing to the digestive system.   Give the same dose as the molasses.

Cayenne ideally should be 35,000 heat unit if organic to 40,000 heat unit potency.  I use a small pinch with animals under 100 lbs, a large pinch for 100 - 200 lb animals, 1/8 tsp for 200-400 lbs, 1/4 tsp for 400 - 800 lbs and 1/2 tsp for 800 - 1300 lb creatures.  It it another great source of B vitamins during stress as well as a high quality Vitamin C source.  It helps support animals that are shocky, will help the body stop bleeding or hemorrhaging (I give it orally mixed with water and give it vaginally mixed with water or olive oil) and helps supply endurance.

BetterDaze(tm) herb mix supplies a wide range of easy to utilize vitamins, minerals and nutrients which are perfect for supporting the dam and her tired body.  Follow dosages on the label.  It can be purchased here  https://www.firmeadowllc.com/store/p418/Herb_Mix_BetterDaze%E2%84%A2_Nutritional_Supplement_OG-WC_8_oz.html if you don't already have it on hand.  It's also a great product to support your babies towards reaching their genetic potential.

May all of you have the most beautiful and successful babies this year!
