Case Studies

The cows have always been good at utilising forage at Brook House Farm near Whitchurch, Shropshire, and, when a problem arose with silage quality, introducing Actisaf live yeast significantly improved cow performance across both silage and grazed grass.

Although Harvey and his siblings are the sixth generation to live and work on the family farm, it was Harvey who established the pig enterprise, diversifying into this area to allow the farm to remain sustainable on his return from college.

The inclusion of Actisaf and Safmannan in the calf diet at Little Hook Farm in Haverfordwest, South Wales has contributed to significant young stock improvements.

Many sheep farmers are looking to reduce costs and improve profitability, and that is certainly the route that husband and wife team, John and Louise Hastings, have followed.

Adding live yeast to the diet at Hare Appletree Farm has helped farmer, Andrew Metcalfe, improve milk yields whilst achieving more milk from forage.

Low milk prices last year led Yorkshire dairy farmers, Gary & Steven Swires, to question the inclusion of yeast in their dairy cow rations, despite having fed yeast for a long time.
