I use home and dry alkagrain, (practically same product in the end?) and feed it on its own with minerals onto grass silage and maize. Fattens our cattle anyway! Can’t get any bi-products my way, too far from the factories

Do you feed it adlib or do you feed rationed amount?

 

[cull cows]

Iv just priced some up.
10tonne maximum £205
10tonne rolled barley £150
I don’t think it’s worth a extra £55

Easy enough to make your own. Buy in the rolled barley, mix the pellets with it (c.£30/treated t), sheet for a fortnight and away you go. Surely the protein lift and pH buffering is worth £30?

Rationed amount once a day on top of silage

7kg?

How much is it for contractor/lorry to come in and roll barley and add Maxammon

7kg?

Around 5kg normally onto grass and maize

Depending on tonnage £8-£12 tonne.

Nearer £14/16

Presumably that is for doing the job, how much in addition is the Maxammon ?
By how much does the Maxammon r@ise the protein level of the grain when treated ?
Thanks MGH

The Home’n’Dry product (which is essentially the same) raises CP in the treated Barley to around 15%, with the product required to treat it costing £25-30/t iirc. You can add more to increase the protein further.

I don't know About cattle, but it makes a great (& safe) ad-lib lamb finishing ration, with the addition of minerals.

Do you feed that whole or milled to lambs?

Whole. There’s no need to process grains for sheep, which helps slow digestion.

Yes just wondering because we process it for cattle, thought maybe we could add a little to finishing lambs or in lambers

You could certainly add a little I'd have thought, and even ad-lib, it would be a lot safer than untreated barley due to the pH after treatment.

Grain treated this year straight off the combine. A little wetter than I would have liked but the weather didn't play ball. Got a good reaction between the products and the results are very pleasing. This was treated with 25kgs urea rather than the standard 15kgs.

Our man charges £18/19 with wagon and mixer.
Guy with tractor mill £12

Last we got 2 tears ago around £18er ton IIRC
