Shepherds have known for years that fishmeal has been a valuable supplement for sheep but it is only in recent years that scientists have really understood why it is so effective, especially at tupping time and before lambing.

In his speech to the 2010 Oxford Farming Conference the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Rt. Hon. Hilary Benn MP, stated that The Voluntary Action Plan, on which the Government and the industry are working together, has an aim that in the next 10 years agriculture will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3 million tonnes a year.

Coccidia are tiny parasites that live in the cells of sheep intestines. The tiny oocysts containing the infective stages are passed out in the animals' faeces and are picked up by other sheep through contaminated feed and water. 

Improved nutritional specifications, feeding versatility and excellent palatability are the central benefits on offer from a comprehensive new vitamin and mineral product range being launched by the Denis Brinicombe Group.

The Denis Brinicombe Group has just completed a one million pound update of their entire fleet of 14 TransAg dedicated distribution vehicles.
