Our Products Dairy Cows

Summit Gold 19 & 21
and the summer version Privilege 16

are designed to support high performing dairy cows achieving up to 11,0000 litres on a compound-based or partial TMR system. They contain yeast and protected proteins for extra by-pass protein in the rumen. These are released in the abomasum and hind gut giving a greater DUP in the diet and subsequent improvement in performance. These are particularly beneficial with grazed grass and grass silage based diets and reduces the need for excess soya in the diets to achieve such DUP levels.

Evolution 18

is a fixed formula diet originally designed as a 'base' diet in partial TMR or forage box systems where the parlour ration is fixed for 12 months of the year and all changes to balance the diets are done in the outside feeds. Thus there are no additives such as yeast etc. but a very high specification with energy from a unique combination of starch, sugar and digestible fibre. As such it has been very successful, but has since found a great following as a very high energy product in its' own right which sits neatly above our high energy HDF and High Starch feeds and below those with added oils such as the Gold range.

Summit HS Range

HS is high starch, and these diets are proven over many years to support yields typically up to 10000 litres. Besides high starch, all these diets contain good levels of DUP from soya and maize distillers, which is a critical part of balancing these diets.

HDF Range

Some 'HDF's are better than others! We have kept faith with a specification of over 13MJ/kg DM and high DUP content while others have removed soya altogether and allowed energy to drift down. We believe these are some of the best diets on the market for balancing grazed grass and high starch outside feeds. Beet pulp remains an integral part of these rations.

Medallion 25

Might have once been named 'Maize Balancer' but with whole-crop, ground ear maize, Alkalage and other low protein forages now being fed, this is a staple for those wanting to add protein to the parlour ration to balance the ration.

Extra 22

Perfect for a 20-40% maize silage diet as a compound balancer. HDF base and high protein matches a high starch low protein outside feed.

Medallion 18 & 20

These are often under rated as they are excellent diets capable of supporting milk yields up to, say, 7500 litres and they are at a very competitive price and still contain soya.

Energizer 18 & 20

These are formulated for a low cost option and represent very good value. These diets often outperform expectations because they are very palatable and can be fed at high levels without risk of digestive upset.

Non-GM Feeds

We have a dedicated non-GM mill at Congleton which is capable of supplying a full range of non-GM and organic feeds should the need arise. We offer New Gold Medal 18 and 20 as non-GM dairy rations from Aston, plus Fast Beef Nuts as a non-GM beef ration. Beef 38 Protein concentrate pellets are non-GM.
