  • Clients using MILK MAKER SPRINGER PELLETS have commented on the marked improvement in the health of their lactating cows and a reduction in calving and post calving problems. The cost of treating these problems has been significantly reduced.
  • Manufactured to strict quality control standards for incoming raw materials and the finished product.
  • Formulated in accordance with current research into dairy nutrition and mixed using a variety of quality raw materials.

Typical Composition

Barley, sorghum, wheat, bran and pollard, anionic salts, flavouring, Yea-Sacc®, mould inhibitor, Riverina ruminant vitamin & mineral premix.

Base raw materials may gradually change seasonally.

 

Feeding Guide

  • MILK MAKER SPRINGER PELLETS are designed to be fed at 3 kilograms / head / day for the 4 week period prior to calving in conjunction with pasture.
  • Feed only to dry, pregnant dairy cows.
  • Individual feeding is ideal but can be offered in a self-feeder. Slides need to be adjusted so feed intakes do not exceed 3kg / head / day.
  • Dry pregnant cows & heifers should be kept on an unfertilised late vegetative/ mature pasture or cereal hay.
  • Avoid pastures high in potassium as this will reduce the effectiveness of the product. This includes lucerne, maize silage, tropical pastures, molasses & short lush pasture.
  • DO NOT FEED AFTER CALVING.
  • Ensure cool, fresh, clean water is available at all times.
