Good forage is the foundation of profitable beef production, not just filler. When silage quality varies, balancing energy and digestibility is key. Improving forage utilisation lifts daily gain, cuts bought in feed and improves margin per head. Feed smarter, not more.
#BeefFarming #FeedConversion
In suckler and finishing systems, poor fertility quietly erodes margins through delayed calving and higher costs. Balanced energy and omega 3 fatty acids support reproduction and embryo survival. Fertility is not a statistic, it is future productivity. #BeefFarming #BeefEfficiency
Two cattle can eat the same ration but grow at very different rates. The difference is feed conversion efficiency. Improving energy density and nutrient balance helps cattle get more gain from the same inputs. #BeefFarming #FeedEfficiency #BeefProduction #LivestockNutrition
We’ve seen more Long Bone Deformity (LBD) cases in spring-born calves — linked to Mn deficiency in cows mid-pregnancy.
Now’s the time to act:
🩸Check Mn levels
🥣Limit silage to 75%
🚫Avoid wet pit silages
💊Use high-Mn minerals or injectables
