Simon Butler - The calf decision that pays off in the vat two years on
from CountryWide CONNECT · host CountryWide Media
SealesWinslow Nutrition Extension Specialist Simon Butler says recent research from the BSI is helping the industry put firm numbers on calf feeding gains. "We're starting to actually be able to, with some confidence, quantify the benefit of things like accelerated growth programmes, and high milk allowance systems early in the weaning period.” He says a sharper rearing system might cost a bit more for a season or two before it delivers. “All of a sudden, the cost doesn't seem so much.” Whether it’s a custom blend or dairy pellet, smart modelling tools, or advice tailored for your farm, SealesWinslow is about nutrition that delivers measurable benefits. Through science, teamwork, and practical guidance, we make sure what you do today sets your herd up for better performance tomorrow. WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SHOW LIVE (11am-1pm NZST) ON THE GO?
