Today’s high-yielding dairy cows require precise feeding to support milk production, calving and health. We will work with you and your herd to maximise performance through quality nutrition and technical services to allow for an efficient, sustainable herd.
Dairy compounds continue to offer significant advantages to farmers whether you:

The use of blends in ruminant systems can offer significant benefits to farmers looking to feed their livestock a nutritionally balanced, cost-effective diet, while reducing the overall costs of feeding their stock. We can formulate specific blends making use of a wide variety of top quality raw materials, sourced from around the world which are then accurately blended together in our fully UFAS approved facilities.
Blends offer the flexibility of straights yet have the requirement of only one storage bin. NWF’s bespoke formulations mean our feed specialist can provide a tailor made feed plan, unique to each of our customers.
NWF Blends can be manipulated to carry a range of feed supplements including:

In addition to compounds and blends, NWF Agriculture supplies a comprehensive range of associated products to help maximise herd production and health. From milk powders to minerals we offer products to support and enhance milk production, calving and health.
The range includes products to support forage production with a wide portfolio of seed, fertiliser and silage additives. Our advice and technical services offer the additional support required to ensure you are growing the best quality forage, harvested at the right time and fed in conjunction with ration plans for your herd.
A high digestible fibre, extremely palatable be used as a forage extender or concentrate feed. It is widely recognised for its ability to enhance the physical nature and ‘open up’ total mixed rations. Pressed Sugar Beet Feed is produced during the processing of Sugar Beet. Once the sugar has been washed out from the beet, excess water is removed from the fibrous residue by passing the material through heavy presses.
Can stimulate intake while providing building blocks for milk fat synthesis.
• A highly palatable and succulent feed

• Provides slowly fermentable energy similar to forage
• Can be used in complete diets or ensiled with other feeds e.g. distillers
• Available in articulated vehicles whilst factories are producing normally between October and February
• Milking Cows Up to 20 (typically 8)kg
• Dry Cows Up to 4 kg
• Replacement Heifers Up to 10 kg and up to 50% of the DMI

• Finishing Cattle Up to 20 kg and up to 50% of the DMI
• Suckler Cows Up to 10 (typically 5)kg

• Hoggets and Lambs Up to 5 kg and up to 50% of the DMI
The new innovative range has been specifically designed to extend forage stocks, increase palatability and drive intakes to allow herds to perform to their potential. Within the range, we have carefully formulated the diets to include NWF’s protected protein, Ultra Pro-R; to increase bypass protein, protein efficiency and improve cow performance.
Designed to replace forage and drive yields.
• A highly palatable moist feed.
• Designed to drive milk yields.
• Helps support forage utilisation and forage stocks.
Crimped maize grain complements all forms of silage, whole crop cereals and conventional cereals by providing a high energy source of bypass starch. Optimum rumen function is critical for high yielding dairy cows and high levels of rapidly digested cereal starch from wheat and barley reduces rumen pH, impairs rumen microbial
function, and increases the risk of acidosis.
The type of starch present in maize differs in structure to that of wheat and barley, and crimping the maize grain results in a slower rate of starch digestion in the rumen. A greater amount of undigested starch passes into the lower gut, where the increased digestion improves the glucose supply to the tissue and improves the overall efficiency of dietary energy to milk and meat.
Can be used to replace maize silage, increase energy density of ration, particularly early lactation and supports milk proteins.
• Suitable for all classes of ruminants
• Crimped maize has highest bypass starch
• Increases milk yield
• Increases milk protein output
• Improves fertility by reducing loss of body condition in early lactation
A highly palatable and succulent moist feed providing a rich source of digestible fibre and protein.
A moist by-product from the brewing industry made up of spent grains, widely fed to ruminant animals. They are commonly used in the dairy industry as a buffer feed or as a forage or concentrate replacer.
High in fibre and good quality protein which is quite undegradable due to the heat process in manufacture. Ideal for mixing with other forage rations to stimulate dry matter intake and an excellent feed for dairy cows, cattle and sheep.
• Highly palatable moist feed
• Brewery products contain high levels of yeast fragments
• High digestible fibre and low starch content
• Milking Cows Up to 20 (typically 8)kg
• Dry Cows Up to 4 kg
• Replacement Heifers Up to 10 kg and up to 30% of the DMI
• Calves (to 12 weeks) Up to 5 kg and up to 50% of the DMI
• Growing Cattle Can be fed ad lib and up to 50% of the DMI
• Finishing Cattle Can be fed ad lib and up to 50% of the DMI
• Suckler Cows Up to 15 (typically 6)kg
• Ewes and Rams Up to 3 (typically 2)kg
• Hoggets and Lambs Can be fed ad lib and up to 50% of the DMI
• Cost-effective alternative protein source
• Useful feed to use as forage enhancer or extender
• Easy to feed in either TMR, or as a straight
• Very palatable feed that stimulates dry matter intake
• High in digestible fibre with good slow release protein content
• Generally good all year round availability
• Dairy Cows Up to 15 kg
• Beef Up to 20 kg
• Ewes Up to 2 kg
When fed on its own in a trough, stock find Mash Pro 30 a little less easy to consume than traditional Brewers grains so should be given the opportunity to acclimatise to its physical nature. The best feeding method is to include in a mixture, usually in a total mixed ration.
Mash Pro 30 is nutritionally similar to Brewers grains but substantially higher in Crude Protein. It has a different appearance due to the malted barley being ground rather than left whole prior to the brewing process. This results in a product slightly higher in dry matter. Mash Pro 30 also undergoes more heat treatment during production than traditional Brewer’s grains, giving a higher level of quality bypass protein (DUP).
• Dairy Cows Up to 15 kg depending on the total diet status
• Beef Up to 40% of the total dry matter intake depending on diet status, particularly the protein level

Maximising cow health and performance through improved infrastructure

Utilising the cow signals diamonds, we can identify six key freedoms of a cow; Feed, Water, Light, Air, Rest and Space. The concept is simple; understanding and rearing yours cows’ behaviour with the aim to improve surroundings, leading to increased yields, improve herd health and improved fertility rates.

Located within the grounds of Dunham Massey National Trust, just outside of Altrincham, tenant farmer Stuart Royale runs Home Farm and the Dunham herd, a 213-acre award-winning farm. Stuart and the team milk the 130 Pedigree Dairy Shorthorns twice a day, with a rolling average of 6,800 litres, 4.6% fat and 3.25% protein. The herd is grazed between Spring and Autumn, with 110 acres used for grass silage and 40 acres for spring barley, which is reseeded after harvest in August ready for the following spring.

As yield per cow increases, sustaining high yields at grass becomes more difficult. Grazed grass is still a cheap way of feeding dairy cows as long as a strict grazing policy is in place along with excellent grassland management and appropriate supplementary feeding to high yielding cows. The key to good grassland management is matching grass growth with grazing time and stocking rate. Measuring grass heights with a grass stick or plate meter will give a guide to grass availability over the grazing season and allow for better planning of the grazing cycle. Research has shown that milk from grass could be as high as 29 litres. However this requires the cow to consume almost 20kg of grass dry matter per day! More realistically we should expect between 15 to 18 litres from grass in good grazing conditions. This milk yield requires a cow to consume 15kg dry matter of grass per day. With grass at 18% dry matter, this equates to 83kg fresh grass per day. As milk yield and supplementary feeding increases the opportunity to consume grass decreases.
