Annual Consultancy

Aim

Productive Nutrition aims to integrate livestock into profitable and sustainable farming systems and to help producers optimise livestock productivity to suit individual conditions.  Use of available feed in conjunction with the most cost efficient and effective complementary and supplementary feeding strategies are key objectives in delivering solutions.

Understanding

We endeavour to fine tune your existing enterprise and make recommendations in line with your goals and aspirations.

Targets

Working with you, we establish a range of targets.  Targets for sheep production systems are generally considered for wool quality and yield, ewe productivity (as measured by pregnancy rates, lamb marking and weaning percentage), stocking rates and weaner growth rates.

Pasture growth rate measurements

Targets for cattle production systems include in-calf rate with a focus on replacement heifer productivity.

Plan

Once information has been collected and discussed a plan for 12 months is developed.

Service

Ongoing communication throughout the year will ensure that strategic feeding requirements are considered at the appropriate times.  Nutritional advice is provided for problems as they arise.  Adjustments to feeding recommendations are provided in response to changing conditions.

Newsletter
Our seasonal newsletter, PN Livestock Update, is a source of strategic information presented in a brief, easy-to-read style and is provided exclusively to our annual clients.
