Animal Dietary Advice

 

Our range of rations are formulated to maximise animal performance and minimise any digestive problems in high feeding level situations.  Our range is constantly expanding as performance levels and efficiencies and demand for custom made rations increases.

  

Our team of professional nutritionists gather all information on feeds and forages included in a herds diet and from the analysis of these feeds we can then put together a diet to maximise animal performance and ensuring animal health and rumen function are optimised.

 

In TMR diets a specific custom formulated ration is manufactured for the customer to balance the range of other feed being fed.

 

The basics of these rations revolve around

 

  • Energy
    • Starch
      • Wheat
      • Barley
      • Maize
    • Sugar & Digestible Fibre
      • Beetpulp
      • Citrus pulp
      • Mollasses
    • Oils
  • Protein
    •  
      • Soya
      • Distillers
      • Rapeseed
      • Cottonseed
  • Protein/Energy Sources
    •  
      • Maize Gluten
      • Soya Hulls
      • Palm Kernel
  • Minerals & Vitamins
  • Yeasts
  • Buffers

 

Starch levels are maximised in all diets but at levels that will not risk acidosis and related problems.

Pulps are an intrinsic part of all of our diets to optimise rumen function and consequently minimise any animal health problems.

Oils are used in cubed feed to boost energy levels and improve pellet quality

Protein sources depend on the crude protein level required

Minerals and Vitamins are included in all diets at recommended feeding levels

Protected Copper and Zinc are included where required

Yeasts increase the ruminant's ability to utilise starch and deal with increased acidity in the rumen.  They do this by increasing the numbers of lactic acid eating bacteria in the rumen through enhancing anaerobic conditions in the rumen.
