Moist & Liquid Feed
Our highly nutritious and complete moist and liquid feeds sourced directly from breweries and distilleries are the perfect alternative or addition to your homegrown forage to power your dairy farm’s results.
These are primarily wet distillers’ and brewers’ grains, and condensed distillers’ syrup. The grain products have had excess water removed but have not been through a drying process, maximising nutritional value as well as giving farmers more value for money.
Rich in protein, energy and fibre, our moist and liquid feeds can be used for livestock in a wide range of feeding situations, as part of a total mixed ration (TMR), or to replace part of the concentrate of a simple feed regime. Moist feeds can also be used as part of a forage replacement strategy.
Our feeds are delivered fresh daily to ensure you are getting the maximum nutritional value.
Speak to our team today about integrating moist and liquid feeds into your farm’s dietary system to improve your results. Our specialists can also advise on how to best store and preserve moist and liquid feeds for long periods to ensure your fodder supplies are always optimal.
Our feeds carry the Bord Bia Quality Mark and have UFAS accreditation.
Benefits of Moist & Liquid Feeds to Your Farm
Increase intakes
Moist and liquid feeds are rich in degradable protein, energy and fibre. They are fully traceable for easy compliance and offer high-quality, low-cost alternative feed ingredients.
Reduce sorting
Moist and liquid feeds help to make feed rations more palatable. They also, in turn, reduce competition during feeding for more consistent performance across your herd.
Reduce feed costs
Moist and liquid feeds are a more cost-effective feeding option in a mixed ration diet than dried feeds.
Promote sustainability
All our feeds are sourced as local as possible to your farm, resulting in a substantially lower carbon footprint.
Increase performance
Nutrients are more readily available and digestible which, in turn, improves condition and live weight gain. Farmers report a reduction in acidosis and lameness.
Easier handling and feeding
Moist and liquid feeds are easy to store and easily incorporated into rations.
Get a highly nutritious and palatable feed
Moist and liquid feeds are highly palatable and offer an excellent source of protein and energy for your animals. With plenty of digestible fibre they can be used as part of your forage replacement strategy.
Improve rumen fermentation
Moist and liquid feeds are ideally suited for milk production, helping maintain healthy and optimum rumen function.
