The Heygates approach to feeding dairy cows is to look at all the feeds available on the farm together with the target performance and produce a bespoke ration to suit. Heygates produce dairy compounds, blends, meals for TMRs and supplements such as
Biosprint Yeast which will increase yields by up to 2 litres per day.
The Heygates team of trained advisors will look at the feeds available on the farm and use ration formulation software to optimise the feeding. A computerised farm costing service is available to customers.
THE FORAGER RANGE
The forager range of dairy feeds have been formulated for balanced forage utilisation. High protein diets are ideal for rations based on maize silage or fermented whole crop silages which are generally low in protein. The summer range of forager feeds are designed to meet the needs of high yielding herds that utilize grazing. High levels of digestible fibre and DUP are used to complement grass.
Vitamins and trace elements required for herd health and milk production are included in the forager range.
THE SPECIALIST RANGE
These cereal based rations supply energy in the form of starch; the feeds are balanced by supplying RDP and by-pass proteins. Specialist dairy feeds can be selected to suit a variety of production systems and can be used to maximise milk yield or to manipulate compositional quality. A range of feeds are available which contain C16 fats. All diets are supplemented with vitamins and trace elements to ensure that the cow’s requirements are met.
