Feeds for a better future

A well-designed and implemented diet is at the heart of all profitable livestock systems. Whether you are milking a high yielding dairy herd, finishing beef on an intensive system or rearing sheep on an extensive outdoor system you will want the same thing from your diet:

• A ration designed to deliver the necessary performance levels
• A ration that will promote good health in your stock
• A ration based on the best possible ingredients
• A ration that is cost-effective and allows you to achieve good margins.

Feeding livestock is a complex business, balancing the demands of the marketplace with the need to generate a sensible margin. As farming systems have evolved, so we have extended the range of feeds we offer to ensure we can meet your requirements. Whatever your system, you can be confident NWF will provide the feeds for a better future.

A team approach

To us, the first time we visit your farm is vital. We find our about your current farming practices, how you feed your livestock, production targets you may have and your preferences when it comes to a feeding regime. More importantly, we look into what is not happening but should be!

Our Feed Specialist will then sit down with you and discuss not only what to feed, but more crucially, when to feed it. We aim to feed our customers’ animals the optimum diet for their target performance level, combining precise nutrition with a cost-effective and practical approach.

We work closely with our customers on an on-going basis to monitor the success of the diet and where necessary will fine tune the ration to ensure you get the results you expect. We are conscious that each farm we deal with is unique, and we place a great emphasis on building relationships with our customers, from the initial detailed appraisal to follow-up visits to check that your animals are responding as expected.

Our feeds are designed to fit specific situations and do specific jobs.

Compounds – we offer a wide range of compounds to suit all management systems. All our compounds are formulated to deliver exceptional nutritional balance and meet the demands of your system. They are manufactured in our UFAS approved mills so you can be confident in the quality and integrity of the feeds you are buying.

Blends – from our four blends sheds we can supply you with a blend tailored to your requirements. Blends offer much of the flexibility of straights but without many of the practical drawbacks.

Straights – for farmers on TMR and mixed diets we can provide a range of straights and speciality ingredients to help you deliver the best ration to your stock.
