THIS summer season’s extended dry climate is starting to trigger actual points for a lot of cattle and sheep producers throughout the UK as grazing turns into scarcer at a time when grass progress and subsequent livestock efficiency needs to be at its greatest, says Dr Alison Bond, ruminant nutritionist for Rumenco.
Though it might be tempting to carry off on supplementation, the price of feeding for an additional 1kg of liveweight achieve later within the animal’s life, and subsequently later within the season, could also be as a lot as double because the animal matures. Alternatively, the implications of promoting under-finished animals could cut back earnings by about £5 and £18 per lamb and steer offered respectively.
