Jill Hunter, our Beef & Sheep Nutritionist, talks all things colostrum—why it’s vital for calf health and how the right pre-calving nutrition can make all the difference.
For suckler cow units, the first hurdle in the back end of the year is weaning the calves with as little weaning check as possible. Calves which become very stressed at weaning can experience a growth check, which not only has a negative impact on meat quality as gristle...
Housing animals can cause a reduction in growth rate, which is likely to be because of stress and a change in diet. As this is already a stressful time for the animals, the added impact of handling for treatment at this time is small.
RumiTech works by altering which rumen microbes (bugs) thrive. This means the rumen ends up with more bugs which are good at digesting fibre, so more energy is gained from the feed.
Brassicas such as rape, kale or hybrids of the two as well as swedes and turnips are a fantastic way of extending cattle and sheep grazing into the back end of the year and through the winter months. It's cost-effective, while also maximising animal growth rates and fleshing.
