  • The Immunity Boosters - Management, Minerals and Phytonutrients

    The Immunity Boosters - Management, Minerals and Phytonutrients
    Oct 3 2025
    The immune system is complex and constantly changing. In this episode, Alex chats with Hanna on how the immune system is like an elite military force with specialist snipers, foot soldiers and communications and strategy personelle all working off databases of information collected in the field to keep us alive and healthy.

    We apply this knowledge to how we can best bolster the immune response of the production animals that we care for. Minerals, Selenium, Zinc, Manganese and copper are all critical. Glucose partitioning in the body can make or break profits. The exciting field of phytonutrients also holds great opportunity to move away from a dependence on antibiotics to a more natural way of supporting our animals.

    Flavours and Sweeteners in Animal Feeds

    Flavours, Smells and Sweeteners.

    These products are used extensively in animal nutrition to draw animals to the feed bunk, drive aggressive eating and to mask unpleasant tastes and smells.

    In this episode we discuss the use of flavours to achieve certain nutritional goals. We also dive into the practical application of sweeteners to diets in order to drive intake and we have a look at the surprising gut response to artificial sweeteners which might make you reconsider that diet soda with your next burger.

  • Dry Silage Toolkit - Amaferm and Acid Buf

    Dry Silage Toolkit - Amaferm and Acid Buf
    May 30 2025
    Silage is a key ingredient that drives profitability on most dairy farms.
    Making good silage requires careful timing to ensure that the crop is harvested at the optimal moisture content.

    Of the many management activities around silage, the weather is one factor which is completely out of our control. Heavy rains can cause delays in harvest and, even though the crop is standing in water, it dries out beyond the optimal point for silage making.

    Dry silage may not be our fault but it is our problem to solve.

    In this episode, we discuss what can be done in order to make the most of very dry silage. We look at how Amaferm can be successfully used to increase digestibility of the hard fibres and how Acid Buf can protect your herd against the risk of acidosis and rumen scarring.

    Join us as we dive into the practical challenges of working with a key ingredient that is not what we ideally want to use.
