[QUOTE="happycows, post: 2311864, member: 722"] About £125 a ton. It doesn't seem to effect intakes, 2kgs of nis will take a small space in the rumen compared to 2kgs of fresh straw and will pass through in a day where unprocessed can take several days and take up space that could be depressing for intakes of grass. Also it has a great rumen buffering effect too. 2kgs of NIS topped on top fresh grass has yielded lifts of 2 to 3 litres before. I don't feed if if I can get a bit of structure in the grass but at times it's not easy and as it keeps for ages so handy to have at hand if needed to boost butterfat and firm them up a bit. I certainly wouldn't feed it with silage. At 12.5p a kg if it creates better rumen function and lifts fats I'd rather buy 2 kgs of that at 25p than a bleedy C16 at £1250 a pallet that will be more likely to add a oil slick to the rumen and potentially depress fats further. remember oils in grass can be quite high already.
