Dairy Blends
Customised blends for all stages of the production cycle
Overview
The blends use a combination of chopped forages, co-products and pelleted feeds to provide nutrient packages in a convenient, easy to feed form for your dairy heifers and cows.
Designed to be fed as a total mixed ration (TMR) or partial mixed ration (PMR), the blends remove the need for mixing facilities on the farm.
The proportions of chopped forages are adjusted according to individual farm requirements, with additional nutrients supplied as pellets. The pellet range includes energy, protein, mineral or transition feed formulations.
Molasses is used in the blends to help reduce separation of the individual ingredients.
