Customised cattle feed rations
The quality, quantity and composition of your herd’s feed inputs have a direct effect upon your herd’s performance. Our consultants can develop a personalised programme that meets the needs of your individual farm. While we do not have a feed mill and remain totally independent of all suppliers, we can source and supply commodity feeds, customised feed mixes and mineral premixes as you may require. Feeding these supplements, as advised by our consultants, will boost dairy cow performance.
