Agrifeeds

Welcome to Agrifeeds, a leading establishment in Hamilton, New Zealand. Located at 18 Rostrevor Street, Agrifeeds is a point of interest for all food enthusiasts and individuals interested in quality animal feed. As a store specializing in providing high-quality supplementary feed for cows, Agrifeeds has gained a reputation for its commitment to animal health and profitability.

One of the key factors contributing to Agrifeeds' success is their use of molasses mixed into supplementary feed. Despite the dry weather conditions, milk production has remained consistent, thanks to the proper feeding of their high-producing cows. This approach has not only reduced animal health issues but has also increased profitability.

The use of molasses in feed budgeting has proven to be easier, especially during cold weather. The cows are kept warmer and have more energy, resulting in earlier cycling and easier condition management for calving. Additionally, the Riordans, who run Agrifeeds, use Rumol 600 in combination with cereal grain, maize, grass silage, or straw. This balanced feed budget ensures good cow condition throughout the year and helps keep animal health costs down.

Molasses has also had a positive impact on the overall performance of the farm. By including molasses in their feedplan, Agrifeeds has experienced a decrease in empty rates, an increase in herd energy and feed consumption, and improved cow flow. This not only helps to keep farm working expenses down but also boosts profitability.

Other farmers, such as Kent and Anna, have found success using Rumol 300® for most of the season, along with other supplements during specific periods. Their aim is to maximize production in the first half of the season and increase condition score while maintaining milk production for the rest of the season. Using Rumol® pre-calving has also reduced cases of ketosis.

Stuart, another satisfied customer, attests to the ease of achieving energy levels and condition scores using molasses after calving and premating. The treat-like nature of molasses in the feed bins has also improved cow flow and heifer introductions.

Justin, yet another farmer benefiting from Agrifeeds' molasses, highlights the positive impact it has on milk production and feed budgets. In summer, when high fiber pasture can be challenging for cows to digest, the high metabolizable energy (ME) of molasses helps maintain condition and energy levels.

At Agrifeeds, we believe in the power of molasses to improve animal health, increase profitability, and ensure good cow condition all year round.
