In this special edition of KW Feedcast join Dr Michael Marsden, Product Development Director, Paul Mortimer, Sales Specialist and Richard Slack Reginal Sales Manager as they discuss why and when you should feed C*Traffordgold.
This episode focuses on how farmers are utilising the unique moist feed C*Traffordgold on farm and the years of trial work that proved it is a moist concentrate feed and very much not a forage replacer. In dairy this means increased margin over concentrates, while maintaining milk yield, butter fat and protein contents as well as yields with no differences in health and fertility albeit the high yeast content will have a positive impact on the rumen. In beef, it acts as a perfectly balanced finisher feed, in conjunction with feeds such as bread, sugar beet feed, and can also be fed to young stock in a simple straw / forage and minerals system.
It has all the brilliant benefits of a moist feed – increasing palatability, decreasing sorting and boosting intakes. As well as being packed full of yeast fragments shown to keep the rumen happy, with high energy content between barley and wheat (13.4 MJ ME/Kg DM), 20 percent protein in the dry matter plus a good available phosphorous content, and increasingly important a low carbon footprint.
As Paul says; Why wouldn’t you feed it?
