We are having a lot of very seasonal enquiries, so please read on....
June Seasonal Advice
Welcome to the June edition of the Mineral Clinic. So far the weather has been a near carbon copy of last year.

Please read on for what we would advise.......
April Seasonal Advice
The weather has been much improved towards the end of March, which has been a welcome relief. Fingers crossed that it lasts and it is a sign that we may at long last get a decent summer. We have been getting a lot of calls about several different animal health issues affecting stock this spring. Please read on for further advice......
March Seasonal Advice
When the weather is as unpredictable as it has been this February, it can play havoc with animal health and performance, particularly coupled with the poor quality forage that many farms have been left with.

December Seasonal Advice
We are now well into winter feeding , and for many it is a stark reminder of the wet summer we have had. Maize is looking like being of poor quality and of very low feed value; many rations are being reformulated to address the shortfalls that may be found in the diet this year. We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
