Cattle nutrition and solutions
We could talk technical details around ruminant physiology until the bovis come home. And if that’s a conversion you would like to have, great! But we suspect you’d rather hear about a practical, easy-to-understand plan that you can implement today, that will help you reap the rewards of your labours tomorrow.
Transition Stress
GENERADE
Cattle and sheep are highly sensitive to rapid changes in environment and diet. Yarding, transport, calving and lambing, weaning and even severe weather events are all triggers for stress. Under these circumstances, cattle and sheep can become agitated and lose appetite. Loss of appetite diminishes critical rumen microbial growth and activity.
Regardless of the type of stress event, your challenge is to help your animals maintain (or, in the event of an emergency, regrow) the critical microbial populations their rumens need. Generade delivers a rich source of carbohydrates, key minerals and vitamins, specifically designed to help stimulate rumen microbial activity and support the healthy functioning of your animals' underlying energy, immune and metabolic systems.
Green Feeding
GRAZEMAX
Tired of watching feed go in one end and straight out the other? Frustrated by scours, bloat and grass tetany? Fast growing pastures and fodder crops often lack the mineral and carbohydrate profile required to optimise ruminant growth and health. This can lead to reduced potential returns.
Grazemax is suitable for ruminants grazing green, fast-growing pasture/fodder crops where the supply of certain critical nutrients - including Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Sulphur, Copper, Selenium and Zinc - may be limited.
Grain Feeding
CONVERTER
Grain or grain-based rations often lack the sophisticated nutrient profile required to optimise animal growth, health and feed efficiency, leading to significantly reduced returns from either feedlot or supplementary feeding programs.
Designed by Australian experts for Australian conditions, Converter is a range of concentrated nutritional supplements in Powder Additive and concentrated Pellet forms, containing an advanced blend of macro and micro minerals, Vitamins, Buffers and rumen modifiers and engineered for ready inclusion into high performance feedlot or supplementary diets. Includes Ionophore-free pellet options.
Dry Feeding
STUBBLEMAX
Dry standing feeds and crop residues often lack the sophisticated nutrient profile required to optimise animal growth, health and feed efficiency. This can lead to significantly reduced performance.
Stubblemax is a concentrated blend of macro and micro minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and protein sources comprehensively formulated to help optimise the supply of those key nutrients animals require to maintain health and productivity when grazing poorly balanced, low quality dry feeds.
Calving
PROGENX
Cattle undergo significant metabolic changes in the period leading up to and during calving or lambing. Those changes increase demand for a range of key nutrients that are essential to giving birth efficiently and producing high levels of quality colostrum and milk.
Designed by Australian experts for Australian conditions, ProgenX is a rich source of many of these minerals and other critical nutrients.
Advanced Weaning
WEANERMAX
When and how you wean can have a dramatic impact on the lifetime health, growth, feed conversion and reproductive efficiency of calves and lambs.
It's also an important factor in determining both the potential stocking rate of your enterprise and the fertility of your breeding herd or flock.
Apart from saving you time and stress, weaning at the right time can also help significantly reduce your cost of production.
