THE ROLE OF CONCENTRATE SUPPLEMENTATION THIS SPRING

COPRICE recognises that favourable conditions are predicted for our beef and sheep producers with anticipated good pasture availability and affordable grain. However, even the best pastures can’t provide all the nutrients sheep and cattle require for optimal health, fertility and performance.

It is critical balance a ration to mitigate risks of:

• Mycotoxins from recent wetter conditions
• Protein deficiency from grains averaging lower protein composition
• Acidosis and urinary calculi from phosphorus and calcium ratio imbalances
• Mineral imbalances in fresh forages, which if left uncorrected, may result in performance issues such as lower feed efficiencies, milk fever, fertility issues and lameness

COPRICE NUTRITION SOLUTIONS OFFER SUPERIOR BALANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

* Results from an on-farm demonstration trial conducted at the Boyd family sheep feedlot in NSW. The trial compared the performance of two pens of 80 lambs fed a barley-lupin ration containing either COPRICE VITAMINBUF or a conventional sheep feedlot concentrate over 56 days. Lambs fed VITAMINBUF recorded +11.2% higher average daily gains, +13.1% higher daily feed intakes, and overall performance improvements of +2.06kg and higher gross margins per lamb of +$2.06/head compared to lambs fed the conventional concentrate. Lambs fed VITAMINBUF had no recorded deaths from urinary calculi verses three deaths for lambs fed the conventional concentrate.
