With Soya in the £500s a tonne are there any cheaper alternatives to increase protein to mix with rolled oats/barley?
What sort of price is Maize gluten?Maize gluten?!
I could process them any idea on the price if them? How long would they last after grinding down?Beans if you can process them
The one's I bought were about £220/t which was about the same as wheat at the time. I was led to believe that they more or less mirror the wheat price but not sure what they'd be now.I could process them any idea on the price if them? How long would they last after grinding down?
Last price I saw was around £260. They haven't really moved up at all in the current crisis.The one's I bought were about £220/t which was about the same as wheat at the time. I was led to believe that they more or less mirror the wheat price but not sure what they'd be now.
I roll enough for a fortnight each time, been perfectly okay so far. Don't know how long they would keep beyond that sorry, possibly would depend on dry matter maybe
Serious. I was quoted £385 todayWhat sort of price is Maize gluten?
I use molasses mixed with urea. It’s not anywhere as good as soya and in my opinion shouldn’t be the sole replacement protein source as it’s not a true protein but it can reduce your soya use to make the figures stack up. I buy it ready mixed so just add it to the ration.With Soya in the £500s a tonne are there any cheaper alternatives to increase protein to mix with rolled oats/barley?

The answer is apart from beans there is no cheap protein. Rapemeal is £475, distillers mid £300’s, feed grade urea back over £1000.Not sure myself. But have seen @Full of bull(s) has given a price. Maybe too dear at that?!
Urea is far better used to treat the grain, maxammon /alpha etc in my experience with the added benefit of the alkali result. Safer too with no chance of poisoning due to lumps or uneven mixingbeans usually feed better than quoted. Presume they can be crimped, or treated to last all winter.
Urea, is a good source of protein, and while price is rocketing, av use would be 100gms/head/day.
No doubt like us, this equation is under discussion on many farms.
mixing is critical, we go up to max 200gms/day, in a TMR for dairy cows. But it is a very cheap source of protein.Urea is far better used to treat the grain, maxammon /alpha etc in my experience with the added benefit of the alkali result.

Not so cheap today, spot price now £2000/tonmixing is critical, we go up to max 200gms/day, in a TMR for dairy cows. But it is a very cheap source of protein.
Egyptian has replaced Russian, or 'conflict stuff', £1100, more per ton. Timber will go up 30%, 1 apr, and so forth.Not so cheap today, spot price now £2000/ton
