quality ingredients ensures a highly palatable mix maximising intakes.

• High cereal levels top-up lower starch rations.

• Very high energy density means less blend can be fed to achieve

the same finishing period.

farm livestock including extensive beef cattle, in calf

heifers, stores and youngstock at grass

• Also suitable for balancing winter rations

Countrywide Intensive Beef Minerals

• Designed for inclusion in rations for intensive and

semiintensive beef cattle where cereal intakes are high

Benefits of including a mineral in your blend

• Enhances your blend and saves time

• Minerals can be included at the right

levels to meet feeding requirements

Product profile

• High specication, carefully formulated to meet the

requirements of modern, high genetic merit stock

• Feeding minerals helps to correct deciencies in grazing,

forages and straights to maximise health, fertility and

performance

• Palatable

Intensive Beef Production Systems

Feeding System

Maximised daily intakes of high-density concentrates fed

alongside clean straw and fresh water

Liveweight at start 90 – 110 kg

Liveweight at finish 480 – 540 kg

Target daily liveweight gain 1.3 – 1.4 kg/d

Age at finish 11 – 13 months

Killing out % Dairy type 51 – 57

Continental type 54 – 60

Total concentrate use 2.0 – 2.2 tonnes

Typical conversion rate 4:5 – 5:1

Common Problems in Intensive Systems

Cereal bloat – fresh straw is vital – provide in racks on a dailybasis and do not rely on bedding alone

Acidosis – a degree of acidosis is acceptable in a barley bull

system, but to prevent clinical signs, change feeds gradually –

including individual blend deliveries – provide some fibre and

consider using a rumen buffer

Preventatives

• Introduce high cereal content rations gradually over time to

allow rumen bugs to adjust

• Ensure plenty of clean straw and fresh water are available

• Allow plenty of feeding space to prevent gorging

• Consider including a yeast in your blend to stabilise rumen

conditions

• Never allow feeders to run empty
