Need A More Cost Effective Way Of Feeding Minerals This Spring?

With breeding season only a few weeks away and the high cost of concentrates this spring, farmers will be looking for a more cost effective way to get minerals into their cows’ diet ahead of breeding this year.

We’re all familiar with cows licking gates and eating stones this time of year.  Known as Pica, this is when cows are trying to overcome a mineral deficiency in their diet, by trying to ingest this from other sources.  Usually we try to overcome this by increasing concentrates in the parlour, but with the pressure to keep ahead of rising costs across the business, high quality non-molassed blocks can offer you a more cost effective way to meet the additional mineral and trace element demand ahead of breeding.

Costing less than 11p/cow/day, our Calseablocks can support and improve herd submission and conception rates.

For the Spring block we recommend our Calsea Mag or Oligo block, and for the Organic spring calvers the Calsea Nature block.
