Beef Feed

Coarse Beef Finishing Rations

Super Bull Finisher

  • Designed for intensive ad-lib finishing of cattle and bull beef.
  • High levels of toasted flaked maize maximize weight gain, kill-out percentage, and improve carcass quality.
  • Feed up to ad-lib, ensuring livestock are gradually adjusted to the ration and built up in feed levels over time.
  • Levucell Rumen Specific Yeast can be added to maintain a healthy rumen, stabilize pH, and improve digestion.
  • Ensure fresh clean water and straw are available at all times.

Golden Barley Beef

  • Beef finishing ration containing optimal levels of toasted flaked cereals.
  • Formulated to promote exceptional live weight gain and prime body condition in conventional rearing systems.
  • Includes toasted flaked beans for a native, high-starch, high-quality protein source.
  • Maximum feed rate: 1.5kg per 100kg live weight per day.

50:50 Cereal Balancer

  • A blend of toasted flaked maize, beet pulp, and high-quality proteins.
  • Suitable for mixing with barley or wheat to create a high-quality finishing ration while utilizing home-produced cereals.
  • Mixing at 50% cereal and 50% balancer results in an overall 13% protein content in the ration.

Summer Maize Beef

  • Ration formulated specifically for feeding on grass.
  • Low-protein, high-energy ration.
  • Contains maximum levels of toasted flaked barley, wheat, maize, and beans.
  • Molasses beet pulp nuts added to ensure adequate digestible levels.
  • Designed for once-a-day feeding, up to 4kg per head per day, once cattle are adequately introduced to the feed.
  • Formulated as a complement to grass, not a replacement.

Maize/Beet Balancer

  • Designed to be fed with forage maize or fodder beet.
  • Contains toasted flaked barley and wheat, combined with high-quality protein feeds to balance the low protein content of maize and beet.
  • Balances fodder beet at a ratio of 5 parts beet to 1 part concentrate.
  • Balances maize at a ratio of 3 parts maize to 1 part concentrate.
  • Includes a mineral pack with added phosphorus to prevent deficiencies caused by these forages.

Maintaining Rumen Health

Maintaining rumen health is key to optimal animal performance in dairy, beef, or young stock. Levucell SC (I-1077), the rumen-specific live yeast from Lallemand Animal Nutrition, has been selected from over 1,000 strains for its ability to stabilize rumen pH and improve digestion. This results in significantly better growth performance and a higher return on investment.

In high-starch diets, recent trials in Ireland have shown consistent performance improvements of up to 200g per head per day in daily live weight gain when Levucell SC is fed. In trials conducted last winter on forage-based diets, Levucell SC consistently delivered higher intake and performance by stimulating the growth of fiber-digesting bacteria and fungi in the rumen. Using Levucell SC ensures that growing stock reach their growth targets while maintaining good rumen health.
