Goldenflake Protected Fat for energy boost

Goldenflake Protected Fat for energy boost

Goldenflake Protected Fat for energy boost

GOLDENFLAKE is an energy-dense feed that is used to drive milk yield, support butterfat levels, and improve body condition, which in turn, can boost herd fertility.

Fats comprise approximately 2.25 times more energy compared to carbohydrates or protein.

Maintaining butterfat levels is one of the main challenges facing milk producers during the grazing season. It is a particular issue for spring calving herds, where cows are also hitting peak yield and need to retain sufficient condition for good fertility.

Protected fats are essential for beef cattle as they help body condition scores and lower the risk for acidosis while increasing the energy density of the diet.

Key Features

Extremely high content of rumen-protected, highly digestible energy

- Allows the energy density of the diet to be increased for high-performing stock without impairing rumen function. Additional energy can be portioned for milk production and improved fertility.

  • increase milk

ReaShure PRECISION RELEASE CHOLINE is proven to help dairy animals transition more smoothly, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders, supporting higher milk production, reproductive efficiency and overall animal health.


Benefits of choline

Choline plays an essential role in ruminant health, supporting metabolism, milk and milk fat synthesis and reducing fatty liver and ketosis

Once in the liver it can support the metabolism of non esterified fatty acids (NEFA) to energy for use by the cow to maintain body condition and improve milk production

The result is healthier cows, improved reproduction and increased milk production throughout the whole lactation

ReaShure ensures all the choline makes it through the rumen to the liver

ReaShure microencapsulated choline protects choline on its journey through the rough-and-tumble rumen and releases it in the small intestine

Lipid (fat) layers, applied using a proprietary process, encapsulate the choline.

Key Features

  • Used in the transition period to boost milk production (up to 5%) supporting milk fat synthesis
  • Reduces metabolic disorders
  • Supports fat metabolism
  • Reduces ketosis by increasing fat utilisation from the liver
  • Increases butterfat and milk protein

Hoofcare Package - Biotin

Hoofcare Package - Biotin

Hoofcare Package - Biotin

Hoofcare Package - Biotin

BIOTIN is a B-group vitamin and an essential nutrient for the animal's production cycle. Though it is synthesized in the rumen of all ruminants, its bioavailability depends upon the ration formulated.

Biotin is essential for the production of Keratin and the epidermal tissues of the hoof-horn, as well as other metabolic effects that influence milk production.

Studies have shown that a deficiency of biotin could be a limiting nutrient for high producing cows.

Biotin can be added to any existing SN mineral as an optional extra, to support hoof health and development.

Key Facts

  • Improves hoof strength
  • Increases the production of glucose, meaning higher milk yields

Feeding Rate

15-20g/head/day

Handling and Storage

Store in secure cool dry conditions. Care should be taken to ensure correct amounts are weighed and that the straight material is kept away from animal contact

UltraSorb Mycotoxin Absorbent

UltraSorb Mycotoxin Absorbent

UltraSorb Mycotoxin Absorbent

UltraSorb Mycotoxin Absorbent

ULTRASORB MYCOTOXIN ABSORBENT is used to combat the negative effects of moulds found in feed.

Mycotoxins are poisons produced from the secondary metabolic processes which occur naturally in a variety of moulds that grow on food crops. The amount and type of mycotoxin produced varies by the type of mould prevalent during different environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

Stress on crops from insects, weeds and weather also influence mould growth and mycotoxin production.

Mycotoxins can lower feed consumption and feed conversion, reduce disease resistance, increase reproductive problems, reduce performance, and restrict genetic expression of traits.

Key Features

When Mycotoxins and moulds are present in feed, treating with UltraSorb can result in:

  • Increased intakes
  • Increased milk production
  • Increased growth rates
  • Improved fertility
  • Reduced litter and flock mortality
  • Better herd, flock and litter health

Feeding Rates

Dairy: 20g/hd/day as a top dress or added to TMR

Beef: 10g/hd/day as a top dress or added to TMR

Calves, Sheep & Goats: 6-10g/hd/day as a top dress or added to TMR

Horse: Add to rations at 40g/hd/day

Handling Rates

Store in secure cool dry conditions. Care should be taken to ensure correct amounts are weighed and that the straight material is kept away from animal contact.
