Actisaf maintains rumen health for pedigree herd

It is not a secret that rumen health is critical to dry matter intake, which in turn is critical to milk yield and, ultimately, profitability. And that’s why Bryan  Purdy places so much importance on ensuring that his cows maintain proper rumen function.

Actisaf helps achieve milk quality targets

The Pye family run the Bay Herd of 240 pedigree Jerseys from their farm in Arkholme, Lancashire. Husband and  wife, Geoff and Deb, along with their son Matt, and daughter Sarah, supply milk to Garstang-based Dewlay Cheesemakers.
