Why the need for Protein Supplements?
In ruminants, the rumen fulfils the need for a fermentation cask. The volume of an adult rumen varies from animal to animal, but it is usually in the vicinity of 4 to 10 litres in sheep and 100 to 300 litres in cattle.
In as early as 1891, researchers indicated that a lack of protein in the feed brings about a decrease in digestibility of particularly the fibrous parts of feed. Ruminants, and not single-stomach animals, use microbes (bacteria and protozoa) to help them digest food to a certain extent, and later the animal digests the more easily… Read More

Fosfaat- en proteïenlekaanvulling is deel van suksesvolle rooivleisproduksie in Namibië. Fosfaataanvulling in die vorm van Futterfos P6 is baie goedkoop en diere kry dit meestal net gedurende 4 maande op groen weiding. Die produsent moet dus alles in sy vermoë doen om sy diere maksimum toegang tot fosfaat te gee. Verwyder ook klipsout by beide skaap- en beestroppe om optimale fosfaatinnames te verseker.Feedmaster se proteïenlekreeks bevat derhalwe ook deurgaans hoër vlakke fosfaat om die weiding se lae vlakke en diere se fosfaatbehoeftes aan te vul.
Hoeveel Futterfos P6 moet in die… Read More

During the dry season from July to December, there is a huge drop in the nutritional value of natural pastures. Animals need more time and spend more energy to satisfy their nutritional needs. Most ewes struggle to raise twins which are common during this time of year. Fortunately, animals that are kraaled every night allow the owner to assist his animals daily.
The following feeding guidelines will contribute to better production:
1. Treatment of Ewes which also contribute to better growth of Kids and Lambs
Start supplementing ewes within the last 3 weeks before lambing!
Ewes with twins… Read More

Introduction
As winter approaches fast or in some parts it has already arrived, a change from a phosphate lick to a high protein lick is needed. The changeover period is a crucial part of ensuring that animals in production do not lose body condition. Losing body condition at the beginning of the dry season will force a producer to spend valuable capital later in the season to recover the lost weight.
Pasture and the storage of reserves
As perennial grass species starts to go dormant when seed forming is initiated, the plant produces more nutrients than needed and these nutrients are moved… Read More
