brewers grains

I’m after making a ad lib feeder for brewers grains I wouldn’t have thought they’d flow in a normal ad-lib barley feeder any suggestions appreciated cheers

Hi just wanting peoples advice. We usually fed our dry cows bale silage but nearly out this year. We have plenty average clamp first cut and maize silage and brewers grains. What mix would people recommend?

I've been offered a smallish quantity of brewers Grains from a local brewer. Somewhere between 1 and 1.5t per week. I'd like to feed them to our jerseys. Is there a maximum rate they should be feed at and is it possible to clamp them through the summer? Or would I be better feeding them to...

Anyone recommend a fattening ration to feed store lambs. I’ve got a lot of fresh brewers grains and wheat and barley. Would be good to use the brewers grains as it get it very cheap. Tia

Currently feed our cows in an old brick trough built against the wall of the shed. The current trough is way too high and they struggle to eat the last 25% and feeding inside the shed is a PITA. Planning to pull the trough and wall out as part of some shed upgrades and put some locking yokes in...

Losing 100 acres of silage ground to our landlord, flipping our cow grazing acres and a bit more grazing ground into silage ground, keeping them in 365 tho, what silage replacers could I use? I’m thinking fodder beet, crush it on farm and buy cleaned, 7kgs a day would save roughly 300 ton of...

Hi I am looking into bed and breakfast cattle, and looking for any help/advice as I am new to it all. I will be getting them in around 150kg and taking them to around 550-600kg. I am scratching my head on what will be best for wait gain while keeping costs down, I am wanting them in and out...

Cows are mammals. A mammal feeds its baby on milk, until the digestive system of the baby has developed sufficiently to allow it to eat other foods. This is why in the countryside you will see a big cow and a little cow side by side in a field. The big cow is the mother, the little cow - known...

Got some limison x Galloway 6 month old cattle putting them on a diet of herbal ley haylage and brewers grains, wondering what a good rate of brewers grains would be per head ? There on 1kg a head a day at the moment and I know this is light but I’m weaning them on just wondering what the max...

Tossing the idea around for next year of giving the cows free choice access to pasture and feeding tmr still as the available acres for grazing is not enough to fully supply enough forage for the herd. My question is how do you go about keeping a “balanced ration” in that situation? This is a...

At our county NFU AGM yesterday, in a discussion of the merit (!) of Red Tractor, Kit Papworth (RT crop sector chair) claimed that RT was responsible for up to £20/t of the wheat price due to the RED declaration- can this possibly hold any truth?

Hi, I'm a student, and not directly related to farming. You see a lot these days about plant based diets and the like, in common media, so I just wanted to do some fact checking with you guys. Anyone grown animals and crops on the same fields (perhaps in rotation)? Does it produce better...

I am getting some waste gluten free bread products at the minute. I'm feeding them to a few beef cattle I'm finishing. Is there a maximum amount I can give them, they are getting about 3kg of beef meal, 3kg of the bread and adlib silage. What would that mix sound like? I hope to have them...

Had the chance to have some brewers grain! Never used them before are they worth having? how are they best fed? We have feeding cattle in all year round? Thanks

I'm short of silage for the winter rather than grazing. for Suckler cows so my current plan is to mix silage and straw but for 75 cows I'm not quite going to have 2 bales silage per day + straw (they would normally eat 3 per day) ideally want to drill winter wheat into the stubbles. maybe into...

if they allowing this then maybe? (if you still read it anyway!!)

We’ve had a couple of feeding cattle who’ve had temperatures, which we have managed to treat, however after they are losing condition - they are still eating normally. After discussions with our vet they seem to think that this may be the result of secondary fermentation of Trafford Gold in the...

Currently feeding maize, barley soya and straw and urea to beef cattle. But the maize is going fast and im looking at options to bridge the gap til next maize harvest. Usual options of Hay more straw etc. but is there another cost effective route? I appreciate different parts of the country...

I know it's very early still, but looks like my neighbour is making a bit of hay on a small field that he lets people camp on. Couple of others seem to be underway with haylage. I've just been and mowed 8 acres that is going to be haylage for a chap this evening. It will be at least 10...
