Profitable beef production depends on maximising growth rates and carcase composition at all stages of the production cycle from the calf through to the finished animal. Whatever your production system, NWF beef compounds can help you get the best from your animals.
To constantly supply the correct product we need to understand the market you are supplying, suggest the best animals and systems for these markets, and then produce optimal rations to deliver cost- effective feed conversion to give maximum returns based on the EUROP carcass classification, boost fertility and maintain health.
