Unless you know the plasma concentration of Vitamin B12 in your sheep, it is very difficult to tell if there will be increased growth rates from using B12 – sometimes the benefit can be small enough to pay for itself, however not noticeable enough in every sheep. The increase is often only 50-100g, therefore not shown by normal weighing equipment, therefore hard to actually measure. Comments from producers over time, often talk about “lifting the tail of the mob” as these even small increases in weight combined with an increase in appetite and overall energy, often lead to less of a “tail”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003eEg;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003eLet’s pretend that three glasses are our sheep, who have varying levels of currently available B12: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCup 1 (empty)- will benefit from a vaccination of B12 and you will see increased growth and production rates from this animal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003eCup 2- the vaccine will top this animal up and anything it doesn’t need it will excrete- mid range growth rates. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003eCup 3- Only needs a little bit, will probably excrete most of it, we might not see any changes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"csBE29F54\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csB2B83AB\"\u003eAcross a farm there will be varying levels of “full or empty cups”.
