Energy Feeds
High Starch Pellet
Nutrinza’s High Starch Pellet is a grain pellet and an excellent source of energy.
Feeding Recommendations
Due to the high starch content a gradual introduction is required. Once animals have adapted to a higher starch diet, the High Starch Pellet can be fed at between 2kg to 4kg per cow per day to maximise production. Due to its low protein content it must be properly complemented with a protein source from pasture/other protein feed options, as well as fibre.
Note: Consult your milk supply company for FEI guidelines

Nutritional Benefits
Providing adequate amounts of starch promotes rumen bacterial growth that will enhance forage digestibility, rumen contractions and subsequent feed intakes. It is an ideal choice to increase and maintain peak production during spring. It is pelletised, reducing wastage and improve flow in silos.

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.
