Moist Feeds
Brewers Grains
Description
Brewers Grains are the solid residue left after the extraction
of malt in the production of beer. Principally, Brewers Grains
are used as a protein source that boosts the value of rations
based on maize silage, straw and other low protein
roughages.
Feeding
As a rule of thumb, 4kg of Brewers Grains will replace 1kg of
traditional concentrates
Suitable for:
Dairy can be fed up to 12- 15kg / head / day
Beef Brewers Grains can support liveweight gains of up to 1kg / head / day
Sheep Valuable source of protein and energy for lamb finishing diets and for ewes
at tupping and pre and post lambing.
As a mineral source, Brewers Grains have a high phosphorus content, and the feed
can be a valuable source of this expensive mineral. Specially formulated mineral
supplements may be needed in order to maximise this benefit when large quantities
of Brewers Grains are fed.
Key Features
Value for money
Good feed source for protein and energy
Highly versatile and easy-to-feed
Storage and Availability
Brewers Grains can be fed fresh from the day of arrival, or ensiled for feeding some
months later in both cases the feed is attractive to stock. When taking
advantage of the seasonal prices for ensiling, grains should be properly clamped.
Brewers Grains can also be ensiled with sugar beet, known as Grainbeet,
this process allowing the juices and their accompanying nutrients to be retained.
It should be noted that with freshly delivered loads, water may drain off the grains
during the first 2-3 days after delivery. As a result, DM may increase to about 30%,
which should be used when formulating rations.

Vitagold
Description
Vitagold is produced in the production of spirit alcohol from
mainly wheat. The grain is mixed with malt and water in a
pressure cooker type operation to release sugars from the
cereal. Yeast is then added to ferment the sugars into
alcohol. This is then distilled out of the solids still in situ. The
solids are then pressed to extract excess moisture leaving a
friable moist feed as Vitagold.
Key Features
Succulent concentrate
High protein mainly from yeast
High energy level from cooked cereal
Very palatable and can enhance dry matter intakes
Ideal for inclusion in dairy feeds
Excellent supplement to cereals for beef cattle
Bulk density 700-800 kg per cubic meter
Storage
Whether fed fresh or ensiled, it is essential to exclude all air and water from the silo to
successfully store the product. Failure to ensile properly may result in mould growth,
loss of dry matter and a reduction in the nutritive value of the clamp.

Whether used as part of a TMR ration or as a sole concentrate feed, care should be
taken to ensure a good long fibre source is present and that adequate mineral and
vitamin supplementation is available.
Moist Feeds
Supergrains
Description
Supergrains is the moist co-product from the manufacture of
grain spirit at the Cameronbridge Distillery, comprising the
non starchy components of the wheat grains plus the yeast.
Feeding
Dairy 10 - 15kg / head / day
Beef 5 - 10kg / head / day
Sheep the high copper content makes Supergrains
generally unsuitable for feeding to sheep
Key Features
Good feed source for protein and energy
Highly versatile and easy-to-feed
Storage
Supergrains can be fed fresh from the day of arrival, or ensiled for feeding some
months later in both cases the feed is attractive to stock. When taking
advantage of the seasonal prices for ensiling, Supergrains should be properly
clamped in anaerobic conditions by excluding the air and tightly sheeting.

Pressed Apple Pulp

Description
Pressed Apple Pulp is a good form of silage extender or
replacer. Apples are pressed in the manufacturing of apple
juice. The remaining skins are high in digestible fibre and are
therefore a valuable and nutritious feed.
Key Features
Good source of digestible fibre
Highly palatable
Cheaper energy source than grass silage
Ideal forage replacer or extender
Economical source of energy
Stimulates feed intake
Natural and traceable British sourced feed material
As a moist feed, Pressed Apple Pulp should be stored in a sealed clamp.

Description
New early maturing varieties now allow maize to be used as
a concentrate feed source rather than as a forage crop as in
the past. Crimped maize grain complements all forms of
silage, whole crop cereals and conventional cereals by
providing a high energy source of by-pass starch.
Optimum rumen function is critical for high yielding dairy
cows and high levels of rapidly digested cereal starch from
wheat and barley reduces rumen pH, impairs rumen
microbial function, and increases the risk of acidosis. The
type of starch present in maize differs in structure to that of wheat and barley, and
crimping the maize grain results in a slower rate of starch digestion in the rumen. A
greater amount of undigested starch passes into the lower gut, where the increased
digestion improves the glucose supply to the tissue and improves the overall
efficiency of dietary energy to milk and meat.
Moist Feeds
Crimped Maize
Key Features
Suitable for all classes of ruminants
Crimped maize has highest bypass starch
Increases milk yield
Increases milk protein output
Improves fertility by reducing loss of body condition in early lactation
Crimped maize can be supplied as full loads through winter for clamping in large
quantities. It needs to be treated the same as any other moist feeds or silage,
and sheeted and vermin proofed. It can also be Ag Bagged for farms with limited or
no additional storage space.

Caustic Wheat
Description
Whole wheat grains treated with sodium hydroxide (caustic)
which ruptures the grain coat and makes the wheat more
digestible.
Feeding
Typical inclusion levels
Calf - 10%
Dairy - 25%
Beef - 25%
Lamb - 0%
Ewe - 20%
Key Features
High in starch and by pass starch
After processing high in rumen buffering capacity due to the conversion of caustic
to carbonate and bicarbonate
Palatable when fed as part of TMR
Better on farm option to grinding or rolling
Storage
Typically mixed by adding caustic at 3% mixing for 5 minutes then topping up with
water to make the mixture 65-70% DM. Mix for 10 minutes and let it sit for 10 hours,
during which time it will heat. Level it out to cool, feed after 3-4 days. The sodium
hydroxide converts to sodium bicarbonate and impregnates the grains surface
but will darken the longer it is stored.

Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp

Description
Pressed Pulp is produced during the processing of sugar
beet. Once the sugar has been diffused out from the beet,
excess water is removed by passing the material through
heavy presses. The resulting moist feed is known as Pressed
Sugar Beet Pulp and can be fed fresh or ensiled for future
use.
Key Features
High Energy succulent which can improve energy density of ration
Valuable source of digestible fibre to improve rumen fermentation
Very palatable and can enhance dry matter intake
Particularly suitable for milk production as it helps maintain optimum rumen
conditions
Easily stored and incorporated into many feeding systems
Ensures good rates of liveweight gain in beef cattle
Ideally the material should be stored on a clean dry concrete base. The material
should be compressed with a tractor loader shovel, sheeted and weighted to
exclude air. Failure to ensile properly may result in mould growth, loss of dry matter
and a reduction in the nutritive value of the clamp.

Feeding
Pressed Sugar Beet Pulp can be fed to most farm livestock in
a wide range of feeding situations. Whether used as part of a total mixed ration [TMR],
as a sole concentrate feed or as a forage replacer, care should be taken to ensure a
good long fibre source is present and that the minerals are correctly balanced,
particularly for phosphorus, which tends to be low in sugar beet products.
Dairy Cows - up to 20kg per head per day.
Beef Cattle - 20kg per head per day.
Sheep - up to 3kg per head per day can be used for ewes and fattening lambs.
Pigs - can be used as a source of fibre for sows up to 3kg per head per day.

Molasses
Economol
Description
Cane molasses is a dark brown, viscous liquid produced as a
co-product of the production of sugar from the sugar cane
plant. After dissolving sugars out of the fibrous cane at high
temperature, the crystals of sugar settle out as the liquid
cools leaving the Cane molasses, sometimes called Black
Strap, behind. Economol is produced by mixing water with
Cane Molasses to help flowability in all conditions.
Feeding
Economol is suitable for inclusion in the diets of all ruminant livestock and can offer a
very effective way to increase the palatability of feeds whilst contributing high levels
of energy from sugars.

Golden Malt Syrup

Description
A cost-effective blend of co-products from the distillery and
fermentation industries. Due to cost pressures, many of
todays livestock rations are making more use of home grown
products such as whole crop wheat, straw, maize silage,
wheat, barley and oats. These feeds, however, still
require balancing with some rumen degradable protein. Also
a source of sugar is useful to balance the starch in the other
feeds and help feed the rumen bugs. Golden Malt Syrup
provides the perfect solution at a highly competitive price.
Feeding
An ideal well-balanced, low cost liquid feed for any farm mixed ration. Can be fed in
free access lick-wheel feeders, poured on forage or used as an ingredient in TMR
rations. Can also be used as a replacer for pot ale syrup.

Rapeseed Meal
Description
A by-product from crushing, expelling and extracting oil
from Oilseed rape and is normally available in meal form,
available all the year round.
Feeding
Dairy - 2-4kg / head / day have been used successfully in
high yielding diets.
Beef - up to 25 to 30% of the concentrate fraction of the
ration.
Sheep - The meal content and palatability generally restricts usage in ewe diets to a
maximum of 10%.
Pigs - can be included in sow and finishing diets to a maximum of 5%.
New varieties of rape have resulted in Rapemeal ext becoming a popular feed to
supply ruminant animals, and to a lesser extent, pigs, as a cost effective source of
protein. Good levels of rumen degraded protein makes it a useful addition to diets
containing low protein grass and maize silage.
53
Key Features
High levels of energy and degradable protein
Low Palatability
Complements Soya bean ext in ruminant diets
Consistent analysis
Rapemeal ext should as with other dry straights be stored in cool, dry conditions.
Because of its tendency to draw moisture it should not be stored for more than 2
months.

Rapeplus
Description
Rapeplus is an extracted rapeseed meal which has
undergone a unique treatment process to protect and
enhance its nutritive value.
It is well recognized that high yielding cows have a
requirement for high quality by pass protein (DUP), and that
this requirement increases as milk yield increases.The unique
treatment used in the production of Rapeplus protects the
protein from rumen degradation and results in a product
with an 80% increase in DUP content. Rapeplus supplements the protein and DUP
content of low protein feeds such as maize silage, low protein grass silage and
cereals, thereby maximising milk production and quality.
Feeding
Dairy - 2-4kg / head / day have been used successfully in high yielding diets
Beef - up to 25 to 30% of the concentrate fraction of the ration
Sheep - the meal content and palatability generally restricts usage in ewe diets to a
maximum of 10%

Processed Bread
Description
Processed Bread is largely yesterdays bread, removed from
the food supply to be replaced by a freshly-baked product,
but also includes a proportion of todays production
which failed to satisfy QA checks at the bakery. Before it
reaches the farm it will have been shredded and sieved to
remove a majority of the wrappings.
Feeding
Dairy - feeding should be introduced over a period of time
i.e. 10 14 days and included in diets at up to 6g / head / day
Beef - when feeding beef cattle, feeding rates must not exceed the total DM intake of
the animal, and again like dairy cattle feed rates, should be built up over a period of
time (10-14 days)
Pigs - feeding rates in pigs can be as much as 30% of DM intake. As there is a low
fibre content in the bread a balancer should also be used i.e. Wheatfeed or SugarBeet Pulp
71
Key Features
High starch and energy values
Highly digestible
Fresh product
Competitively priced against cereals
Processed bread should ideally be stored in dry conditions, preferably under cover,
as bread will quickly absorb water. The product has a shelf life of 20-30 days and, if
fed in this time, then there is no need to ensile. However, if product is well
consolidated and properly sheeted, then the shelf life can be extended up to several
months. As bread can be quite sticky, ensure adequate tipping height to ensure load
is offloaded satisfactorily.

Energiser 65 Dry (FWT)

Description
A unique dry form of propylene glycol (65%) to bridge
energy gap in dairy cows around calving. Propylene glycol
stimulates insulin and glucose production in the dairy cow.
Pre-calving increases of insulin improves egg follicle
development, leading to larger follicles at ovulation and a
more definitive oestrus. Insulin also reduces fat mobilisation
and prevents fatty liver, improving liver function to allow the
cow to better meet requirements for high milk yield.
Key Features
Reduces risk of fatty livers
improves liver function
Feeding
Feed 3 - 4 weeks pre - calving and up to 12 weeks post calving at up to 150g per
cow per day, mixed in home mix
95
Poor weather at harvesting of grass silage, maize silage,

whole crop silage, and cereals can lead to greater mould
growth and a consequently greater risk of mycotoxin
presence in feeds. Mycotoxins can impair animal health and
performance through reduced feed conversion and reduced nutrient absorption,
impaired reproductive performance, and depressed immune responses.
Indicators of mycotoxin challenges include, under performing animals, rough coats
and listlessness, sporadic scouring and loose manure, mucous tags in fresh manure,
swollen hocks and teats, and poor fertility.
Feeding
Dairy, beef - 150g / head / day for one week included in the TMR or sprinkled over
the feed, followed by reduced levels of 100g or 50g / day depending on the level of

SoyPass / Sopralin
Description
SoyPass is a high quality protein feed,rich in digestible
protein (DUP), produced using a patented process, which
doubles the amount of by-pass protein in Soya Bean meal.
The process takes advantage of naturally occurring wood
sugar which, when mixed with soya binds to part of the
protein, protecting it from digestion in the rumen. During the
production of SoyPass, careful process control procedures
ensure that the proteins become highly un-degradable but
retain the intestinal digestibility of untreated Soya Bean meal.
SoyPass supplies this protein in a highly digestible form, providing the right profile of
amino acids for milk and tissue production. The high proportion of bypass protein
ensures that the total protein content of the ration does not increase, thereby
reducing problems with fertility and pollution. Supplementing SoyPass in transition
period rations has shown to improve milk production over the following lactation.
Feeding
SoyPass is best suited to medium and high performance cows fed farm mixed rations
or home grown bulk feeds.
Typical inclusion rates:
Dairy cows 0.5-2kg / head / day
Calves up to 10% of diet
Beef cattle up to 1kg / head / day
Ewes up to 10% of the concentrate

Silage Additives
We supply a range of Additives that are researched and proven to help you make the
most of your silage. Good
management practice combined with
the appropriate silage product will
reduce the loss of valuable silage dry
matter, and help you manage the
silage fermentation. A controlled more
efficient silage fermentation, can
improve palatability and silage intake,
and most importantly has been shown
to produce significant increases in
milk yield and live weight gain. We
recommend specific products
for grass, wholecrop cereals,
maize, legumes and haylage,
with options for clamp or baled
silage. Most products are
available as either a liquid,
or a dry powder application,
and for those who have changed
to ultra low volume
application we have the
products to suit. We supply a
range of over 10 additive
applicators, with equipment for
trailed or selfpropelled harvesters,
conventional or minibalers, and
options for the newer forage
wagons. For the farmer or the
contractor we aim to have the
products, equipment and package
to meet your requirements.

biodegradable carrier, impregnated with a revolutionary disinfectant system.
It is soft and dry, and has proven to be effective in the control of mastitis causing
bacteria
The benefits of efficient mastitis control cannot be stressed too highly; not only from
the aspect of minimising reduced milk yields / quality, high culling rates and
veterinary costs, but also from the improved health of the herd.
Benefits
Absorbs many times its own weight in moisture
Clean, hygenic, dry area for cattle
Non-abrasive to skin and hocks
Low dusting during application (not irritant to eyes, nostrils and skin)
Highly active, proven biocide system
Lower bacterial count on stall beds
Easily spread and handled
No capping or blocking of slurry systems or slats
Easy storage
Reduced bacterial transfer to udders
Reduction in the occurence of environmental mastitis
Usage
Use ANTIBACTA at the rear of cattle beds (where the udders touch) to kill bacteria.
Combine this with frequent cleaning of the beds and you have an extremely effective
weapon and direct control of the causative bacteria.
