What type of stock feed is best for cattle?
Cattle feed should be tailored to the animal’s age, purpose, and condition. Growing calves often need high-protein rations to support development, while lactating cows benefit from energy-dense feed that maintains milk production. Beef cattle require a balance of grain, fibre, and protein to support weight gain. Choosing a feed from a trusted brand ensures the correct balance of nutrients, and supplements such as minerals can be added to address local deficiencies common in the Northern Rivers.
How often should livestock be fed?
The frequency of feeding depends on the type of animal and the system they are managed under. For example, horses usually do best with smaller, more frequent meals, while ruminants like cattle and sheep can graze continuously but still benefit from supplementary feed. Regular feeding times help maintain digestive health and avoid problems such as colic in horses or bloat in cattle. Sticking to a consistent schedule also reduces animal stress and improves feed efficiency.
What should I look for in quality stock feed?
Good stock feed should have a clear ingredient list, be free from mould or contamination, and provide the right balance of protein, energy, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Reputable brands invest in research to ensure their feeds meet animal nutritional requirements. Packaging and storage also matter; the feed should be fresh and properly sealed to maintain its quality. Owners should always choose a feed that matches their specific animal type, life stage, and activity level.
