Blend Range
Parlour Blend
This highly palatable, fully mineralised
blend of pelleted raw materials is screened and is both flowable
and consistent in pellet size allowing its use in parlour
feeders. The level of molassed sugar beet pellets and grass
pellets offer a high degree of digestible fibre and are an
excellent source of rumen available energy that promotes rumen
function and gut stability. Balanced starch and sugars stimulate
this balanced fermentation and microbial growth in a healthy
rumen. The high energy of the feed makes it capable of supporting
high levels of milk production. Parlour blend has a low oil
content which also contributes to stable rumen function and
helps to maximise forage intakes. This blend has been found
to be particularly good in the following situations:
•Where a high level of rolled cereals
is to be fed out of parlour.
•Where grass silage is of low pH and acid conditions
are affecting feed intake.
•Where cows are turned out to high nitrogen, lush spring
grass, parlour blend has been found to slow rumen outflow
and help with gut stability, reducing nitrogen imbalance
in the gut.
Dairy Blend
The specification of this product is nearly
identical to parlour blend, but with a molasses coating and
not screened. The blend offers many of the same advantages.
More suitable for feeding as part of an out of parlour ration
with silage and other forages. This product is also safe for
feeding to other cattle and has been found to be particularly
good in combination with rolled cereals. Highly palatable
due to its molasses coating this blend when fed in combination
with poor quality grass silage will help intakes.
Hogg Blend
Our most popular product to date. This blend
is suitable for feeding to both lambs , ewes, dairy cows and
beef cattle. Its most impressive application is for the ad-lib
feeding of fattening lambs. The key to this success is the
balance of high quality proteins, starch and sugars and digestible
fibre combined with excellent palatability which encourages
high daily feed intakes, through its molasses coating and
ability to promote rumen stability. Lambs when fed high levels
of this product will convert feed intake to meat efficiently
and quickly. We believe that the product is able to promote
lean meat production on the carcass, improving killing out percentage.
Beef Blend
This product is most suitable for fattening
beef animals, but can also be used as a mid-day feed for dairy
cows and as a youngstock feed for dairy replacements.. This
feed has given best results when fed along side grass silage
in beef growing and finishing systems. The buffering capacity
of the digestible fibre from sugar beet helps with the digestion
of grass silage, maximising rumen function. For stronger cattle
this product can be mixed with rolled cereals to lower the
protein level thus reducing the products growing potential
and increasing dietary starch level to improve fattening capability.
Langthorne Blend
This blend has been specially developed
for the changeover of cattle from grass based systems to cereal
based diets. This product is not mineralised however cattle
are not kept on the product for a long length of time and
the need for a full mineral specification is reduced, this
frees space in the diet for improved nutrient levels. The
key to the success of this product is the ability of the animal
to continue to perform even in the transition period. Many
cheaper mineralised changeover type diets leave the animal
losing ground during the transition period because they are
not high enough in available energy for adequate rumen function.
The digestible fibre in this diet allows the rumen to function
properly while the animal adapts to the new diet.
