Britmilk products

Britmilk Calf Defender is a transition milk powder designed to be fed after colostrum in the first 7-10 days of a calf’s life before moving on to milk replacer. However it can be used throughout the entire milk feeding period. It is based on 100% all milk protein with the highest quality skim milk powder together with a health package designed to get the calf off to a good healthy start. Calf Defender has a higher oil to protein ratio more closely resembling that of cows milk. 

Bio-Ferm Gold is one of the best selling inoculants in the UK and Ireland. It is a unique combination of multi-strain bacteria. This unique combination of lactic acid bacteria producing bacteria are able to quickly dominate the less efficient natural bacteria present on grass. This domination produces a rapid fermentation with a stable pH achieved in 24 hours. Bio-Ferm Gold will help to drive feed efficiency, stability and lower the carbon footprint in animal production. Bio-Ferm Gold is using ONLY homofermentative bacteria with their unique ability to convert sugars to lactic acid with minimal loss. Bio-Ferm Gold also contains enzymes which release additional sugars in challenging conditions in order for bacteria to complete the fermentation.

Ultra-Cool unique combination of Heterofermentative bacteria and Bacillus spp, supplying 1 X 106 cfu per gram of treated forage ( 1 million cfu/gram). Heterofermentative bacteria produce stable acids and metabolytes with a  broad spectrum of activity against moulds and yeasts. If not controlled these can lead to considerable spoilage and loss of nutrients.The rapid drop in pH restricts the growth of detrimental bacteria. Bacteriocins are also produced which are capable of killing many undesirable organisms that are responsible for spoilage. The presence of Bacillus spp. enhances fibre digestion via the production of digestive enzymes. The hydrolytic enzyme system in Ultra-Cool is designed to breakdown fibre and produce a more open structure to enhance digestion by the rumen microbes. The inclusion of Bacillus spp has the added benefit of continuing to produce digestive enzymes in the rumen when fed.This increases the utilization of the  cellulytic components of the whole crop

Whole crop should be harvested when grain is at the thick cheesy stage and bottom 1/3 of the plant is green. It is beneficial to put a layer of direct cut grass on top to aid consolidation and reduce gaseous exchange. High dry matter silage is particularly prone to heating especially if it is lower quality (low ‘D’ Value). In situation were high dry matter grass silages are made the use of Cool-store XL would be recommended. Try to aim for a dry matter of 25%-30% as quickly as possible depending on the leafiness of the crop. Cool-store XL contains a unique blend of non corrosive preservative salts used widely in the food industry. These salts are proven to reduce the growth of yeasts and moulds which can cause loss of nutrients and produce mycotoxins.

A Unique Product scientifically formulated to give  high performance ruminants a productive edge. Rumen Boosters powerful and long lasting rumen buffering effect is due to its combination of bicarbonate, calcified seaweed, live yeast and Tidal Gold. A range of “B” Vitamins including choline chloride have also been added to assist in reducing the acidity present due to modern high cereal diets. The synergy of the ingredients will enhance performance of all ruminants by helping to correct clinical and sub-clinical acidosis and stimulating rumen bacteria to help increase fibre digestion and ultimately more protein passing into the lower gut.

STABILIZER’S powerful and long lasting buffering effect is due to its unique combination of calcified seaweed, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, live yeast and stabilised whole yeast. It also contains Tidal Gold (green seaweed) which is a unique source of micronutruients to feed the Rumen bacteria. The synergy of the ingredients will enhance performance of all ruminants by correcting clinical and sub-clinical acidosis thereby increasing the numbers of rumen organisms which result in increased fibre digestion and ultimately more HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE PROTEIN entering the lower gut.
