Bulk Straights

With Dairy Farms under enormous pressure for milk quality and financially, it is vital we supply the farmer with the most efficient feed to achieve the milk yield and quality targets the farmer needs at the best price for the quality product. 

Our nutritionist looks beyond the protein, starch, oil and fiber sourced from the different raw materials and incorporates quality minerals along with other additives which may be needed to get the best out of the herd.  As a small firm we are small enough to care but big enough to cope.  We give each of our customers the full attention they deserve to ensure that requirements of their herd are met.

Corn Distillers

  • U.S. Maize Distillers’ Grains is a by-product from the processing of maize grain to produce industrial alcohol. This is usually in the form of ethanol used as a replacer for fossil fuels. The grain is processed to release starch, which is cooked to convert it into sugars and then fermented with yeast to produce the alcohol. The grain residue is then dried to produce Maize Distillers’ Grains.

    Used for many years in a wide range of feeding situations, U.S. Maize Distillers’ Grains is another alternative which can be used to replace expensive concentrates.

    Dairy

    Whilst normal levels are 1 – 4 kg per head per day, Maize Distillers’ Grains can be used at up to 6kg per day where other feeds are very low in oil.

    Youngstock

    Can be used in the diets of growing stock at up to 25% inclusive.

High Pro Soya

  • A protein is a high quality mix of essential amino acids providing an important feedstuff for both human and domestic animal consumption. Soya beans are grown in many parts of the world, particularly North & South America, and crushing of the beans is also widespread throughout the globe. Usually a portion of the oil is removed by crushing (expeller process) and then the remaining available oil is removed by solvent extraction. A Cream, or fawn coloured gritty meal.
    • Provides a rich source of protein
    • Suitable for all livestock
    • Favoured in pig rations
  • Feeding

    Extremely rich in digestible fibre. Soya Hulls are excellent for maintaining rumen conditions and an ideal substitute for sugar beet feeds. The product is a useful energy inclusion in all diets for most ruminant stock.

+

Soya Hulls

  • The initial co-product of the crushing and oil extraction from Soya Beans, Soya Hulls are the outer coating of the beans which is removed prior to milling, oil expelling and subsequent extraction. Soya Hulls are either sold as a meal or pelleted to facilitate handling.
