...aiding sheep fertility?

Reliable intakes can be challenging at tupping as quality grazing is often on offer. Fertility Tup is a technically advanced supplement, with its black molassine meal base eliminating any palatability problem. Intakes should range between 15-30g depending on bodyweight and this will ensure the ewes rising plane of nutrition is supported and demand for additional elements are met.

...ensuring ewes and lambs get what they need?

There are times of the year that sheep can be nutritionally ignored which can have a detrimental effect on performance at a later date.

...dry cows, to help calving and to prime them for lactation?

An easy calving and healthy calf are the results required for pre-calving cows. Ensure their nutritional status is looked after by using DBG Pre-Calver. Zero calcium and high magnesium is the ratio required to aid the prevention of milk fever. We recommend this granular mineral unreservedly for feeding throughout the dry period.

...balancing moist feeds, roots or straw?

Cattle that are fed moist feeds such as crimped grain, brewers' grains etc need a high input of vitamin E and vitamin A. This is due to the vitamin in the feed being destroyed by the fermentation and oxidation process. DBG Moist Feeds, Roots & Straw contains essential levels of vitamins E & A in addition to normal requirements and should be mixed in-feed or top-dressed for best results. Also suitable for cattle fed straw or root crops.

...reducing rumen acidity?

When the pH drops in the rumen it will have an adverse effect on animal performance and ultimately may lead to acidosis. This can happen in high cereal diets or those including wet, acidic silage. The simple inclusion of Rumen Buffer will buffer excess acidity, and will support sound feet, which can be a problem associated with acid overload. Includes high levels of Zinc.

...improve feed conversion efficiency?

In the diets of growing and fattening cattle, the better feed is converted and utilised, the better the resulting DLWG will be. Cattle Standard + Yeast will provide the entire necessary mineral required for frame and muscle development but the important inclusion of live yeast enables fibre digestion to increase by up to 10%.

...providing all round cover in cattle diets?

When a more universal approach is needed to suit a farm situation, Cattle Standard is ideal! There is an economic broad spectrum of minerals, trace elements and vitamins that would put some "specialist" mineral analyses to shame.

...good quality growing stock?

An animal that starts on the right track is more likely to reach its full potential. Access to Beef Rearer takes out the guess work and ensures that the animal is well catered for.
