About the Product Pages
The pages under this Animal Feeds section contain product information about the standard products and commodities that Riverina produce or offer for sale. The tiles represent different species groups but other indexes are also available (eg: Dry Stockfeed or Liquid Stockfeed).
Periodically Riverina publish a full colour Product Manual covering all of our core products. There is an index available that matches our most recent issue (October 2015 Product Manual Index).
The web page contains all the relevant details for the product. Typically product information is split into a number of sections. Not all sections are relevant to each product so don’t be concerned if a section you have seen on other pages isn’t there. It just means that there is nothing specific to say for this product under that section. Warnings are a good example of this. Any of our medicated feeds require specific warnings to ensure that you use them correctly. Non-medicated feeds typically do not require these types of warnings so that section will not be present. See the Teminology Used section below for details about the various sections you may encounter.
There is a link on each page to download the current PDF version of that page. This is typically a full colour A4 page that sets out the information neatly.
Printing Product Information
Please consider printing the PDF version of the page. It is designed for printing. It will give a higher quality, compact printout that is superior to using the print button in your browser.
