Forage Balancer® – Drought

Making the most of available feed in a  drought is imperative.

Standing dry feed is a good feed resource, but on its own it is really just a filler, lacking key nutrients that allow the rumen to turn that dry feed into protein and energy for your animals. 

Stock often look really good when grazing this type of feed, with high NDF they look full and without the challenges of lush green feed their coats look shiny. Unfortunately this doesn't turn into performance and weighing them can be a disappointing time. 

Forage Balancer® – Drought is designed to allow the rumen microbes to unlock the feed value in dry standing forage or hay. Concentrated carbohydrates 'kick start' rumen fermentation and when combined with some NPN (non protein nitrogen) it allows rumen microbes to grow.  

This combination allows the rumen to increase the digestibility of dry fibrous feeds and thereby increase protein and energy supply.

Dose rate:

Cattle 100g  |  Sheep 30g

It’s so easy to use.

Simply pour the correct amount into a long open trough. You can use PK trailers, culvert pipes cut in half, make your own with timber or buy ready made troughs.

The key is to have lots of space for easy access, we recommend 30 – 50 cm for cattle and 5 – 10cm for sheep.

Ideally you would put out a daily dose but in situations where you're not there daily, like runoffs for example, you can put out 2 – 3 days at a time.
