KW Forage Systems: for the Dairy Farmer

KW Forage Systems: for the Beef Farmer

Michael Cleary, Nutritionist, KW Forage Systems

03INTRODUCTION

This year presents a very different challenge and will require using feeding strategies to maximise the intake of silage and make the most of what farmers have in stock.

The key to maximising silage intakes is to use the most palatable feeds with the lowest substitution rates. Concentrates fed with silage will have high substitution rates. This means that for every kilo of concentrate fed, stock eat less silage. Because moist feeds are so palatable it is possible to balance them in a diet which will actually increase intakes and make more use of silage stocks, reducing daily feed costs.

While quantity is up, some of the silage sampled so far this year is not the most palatable. If not addressed, stock will not thrive over the winter and cow health can be affected limiting next year’s performance. Moist feeds have

At KW Forage Systems we work to reducing overall feed costs over the winter period. With beef prices unsustainable at the present moment for most farmers, it causes uncertainty and reluctance for farmers to decide what way to approach beef production this year. However, with due attention, good advice and quality feed at great value, KW Forage Systems can get you well on your way to having a �nished beef product that can demand the highest of value in any market.

KW Forage Systems provide the knowledge and ingredients to fully balance your entire beef nutritional

proven very useful in this situation as their palatability will mask the silage, and stock will still achieve good intakes. The energy levels and quality protein in our moist feeds will ensure good health and performance.

Many dairy farmers are not pushing for yield until after April 2015. In the mean-time the priority must be to have cows in excellent condition and as healthy as possible so they are set up for when yield becomes priority.

When it comes to health matters, the team at KW Forage Systems continue to work on a preventative basis but also offer a troubleshooting service to deal with issues such as ketosis, milk fever, retained placenta, DA’s body condition, milk quality, etc. With our Optimin range, we formulate and supply special mineral mixes in which we can include products such as biotin, yeast, chelated minerals, rumen enhancers,

protected fats, mycotoxin binders, among other specialised ingredients.

When it comes to the 2015 grazing season, our range of moist feeds as well as our use of wholecrop and maize allows us to provide high energy, very palatable buffer rations. These buffer rations are �exible and can incorporate structural �bre giving greater control and be used to compliment grass, control farm covers, milk quality and cow condition. They act as a means of getting extra energy into cows where yield is high, promoting a �atter lactation curve to promote health and fertility early on.

requirements and maximise all your home produced feeds so as to get every kilogram of live weight gain achieved at the best value possible.

Along with nutritional advice we provide a range of supplement feeds which will complement all feeding systems, whether you have a suckler herd, grow-ing weanling or �nishing unit, we challenge how to maximise every feed produced on the farm. We supply moist co-product feeds to complement your feeding system with regard to increasing palatability, digestion, and all round live weight gain performance. Along with the consideration of the

macro ingredients in the beef diet, we consider the requirement for micro feeds such as minerals, live yeasts, feed grade urea, and protected fats. As important as all macro feeds are on farm, getting the most value from those feeds in terms of production, without running into health issues such as lameness, it is extremely important to balance a diet with the relevant minerals, growth supplements and rumen buffering ingredients.

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 in�uence mould growth and mycotoxin production.

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

MOLASSES

LIQUID FEEDS

MOLASSES is a dark brown, viscous liquid produced as a co-product of the production of sugar. After dissolving sugars out at high temperature, the crystals of sugar settle out as the liquid cools leaving the molasses, much of which was traditionally mixed back with the pulped �bres to produce molassed sugar beet feed.


Molasses is delivered in bulk liquid tankers with discounts available for full artic load.Tanks should be built to hold and dispatch bulk liquids and care should be taken to ensure they are cleaned out from time to time to ensure no build up of sediment. 4 inch diameter pipework, or the metric equivalent, is adequate to handle Molasses.Tanks need to be located and equipped so that �lling them can be carried out in safe conditions and surroundings.
