Hello everyone this is a hot topic with quite a few people, this year especially with a lot of wet silages being ensiled, some nutritionist are already looking ahead the potential effect that will have on palatability and increased acidity of first cut silages. is this something you guys on...

just to reply to this, there are mills that are now doing a 6mm nut for wheatfeed pellets which makes it feedable. The only thing about wheatfeed that i hear from nutritionist to be aware of is that the protein quality isnt the best but it will do a job. Wheatfeed also has a good level of fibre...

because of many story's similar to yours i hear quite a few people are moving away from feeding dry blends in the TMR's and going back to straights and home grown cereals (for those that can grow them). I know they say a variety of ingredients is better for the animal but for those traditional...

I bet they dont and in your case comparing any feed offered against wheat and soya is exactly right. And also in your case, as an example, a moist feed like a Trafford gold etc would only play a part as a forage replacer really. out of curiosity does it make a difference to the cows if you roll...

Thats a big price shift but yes and no. it depends on what you are currently feeding. if you are feeding a 18% dry blend and KW have offered you Trafford Gold, those two products are comparable to each other because they have the same protein. With cost if they have offered you it at £150/tn...

so if wheat is £194/tn at 90% DM what are you paying for you oopf blend and parlour cake?

My answer would be no, and the people who use moist feeds all year round would mostly agree because you are still going to ger waste with a dry blend, you are going to spill some on the floor and drive over it. in regards to waste It depends on a couple things. First thing would be how quickly...

if anyone is looking for a cheaper alternative to blends to feed buffer feed at grass or to replace some parlour cake, i hear Duynie Feed are selling a new blend. it would be an equivalent to a 15%CP dry blend but moist. Good value for money if you are in the midlands or south west. sharing this...

Hows everyones silage stocks looking ?

I believe the DM is same as all their standard blends 45%. I don't have a spec, its not on their website so i would say its a brand new thing, you would have to speak with the local reps. depending on how deep in the south west you are or how close you are to Northampton, that's were their mill...

Hello just thought id jump on here and let you guys know some info. I know many are in desperate need of feed alternatives and looking to cut costs and available options are slim. but also with forage replacers in desperate need and looking into spring, for some, finding what is cost...

From what I've seen and experience, when looking at solution and cost effectiveness of available feeds, Brewers grains seem to solve that problem very well (high fibre feed, full of yeast and easily digestible, good bypass protein) you can balance the protein in the ration by going for a lower...

are you sure that is corrent? historically Wheatfeed has always been 87-88% DM and stores very well on farm

Either Northampton or Manchester

all over the west midlands and north west into Wales

Hello We are in a tough season across all industry's and choosing what to feed to complement home grown forages is becoming more and more crucial for that end margin. From what we are seeing many out there are relying on their cake reps or some independent nutritionist who aren't fully aware...

£75-78/tn i hear for an artic for brewers grains

taking 20p off the price of Lurpak would cost them an income of £11million a year. Think that is quite considerable

wow thats crazy, do you knw what brewery that is as i have friends up there who are on grains. also is it a brwery or distillery?

depends on the individual farm and who is advising i would guess. I've seen quite a few systems grouping cows on high meds and lows on robots than cows and heifer groups. it just depends on how one sets things up. that's the beauty of farming not one glove fits all and for some something may...
