Base Feeds
Hi-Fibre Feed
Hi-Fibre Feed is a low FEI feed produced from the chemical extraction of oil from palm fruit. It differs from mechanically extracted PKE with a lower oil, but higher protein content.
Feeding Recommendations
Hi-Fibre Feed can be fed in the paddock, feed pad, or as a component of in-shed blends. Ruminants will readily switch from PKE to Hi Fibre Feed.
In an on-farm trial, Hi Fibre Feed were fed up to 8kg/cow/day without exceeding FEI levels. The cost advantage vs other feed supplements make it a vital component to manage feed supply risk during droughts. Its higher protein content allows for the partial reduction of other higher priced protein sources.
Note: Consult your milk supply company for FEI guidelines

Nutritional Benefits
Hi-Fibre Feed is ideally suited for periods when pastures are limited and production needs to be maintained and supported with higher levels of supplementary feed. Due to its low impact on FEI, feed rates up to 3 or 4 times that of PKE are feasible.
It is an excellent source of highly digestible fibre and provides higher levels of protein, which is normally performance-limiting during drought periods.
Hi-Fibre Feed is GM-free.

Cattle Feed Storage on Farm
As with any grain or meal feed products need to be kept dry as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products the better your storage facilities need to be.
