Case Studies

Diet changes are a fact of life on 
livestock farms. A clamp of silage is
 made up from many fields that vary in terms of quality of ley and harvesting conditions.

Whilst Cumbrian dairy farmer, Malcolm Errington, was generally pleased with the yield and milk quality from his herd of 200 cows, he was concerned that lameness and fertility levels were higher than they should be.

Like many other farmers, Chris and Catherine Chappelhow had very acidic silage as a result of the poor weather during 2012.

Denis Connell’s dairy heifers are thriving and he puts this down to the inclusion of Actisaf Farm Pack Plus in their ration.

Last year dairy farmer, David Walker, was concerned about milk yields and fertility performance, but couldn’t get to the bottom of what was causing the issues with his herd.

If you want to see beef cattle at their best then the Jalex herd is a good place to start.
