One of the latest is Forti-Min Hyfat. The product is a high-energy rumen protected bypass fat in the form of calcium salt of palm fatty acids. It is a dry, free-flowing granule and is safe to feed to lactating and non-lactating ruminants. Greg says that Foti-Min Hyfat should always be mixed with other ingredients, ideally a blend and in- troduced slowly over a few days to allow adaptation and acceptance to a new ingredient in the diet. “Our national blending service delivers consistent blends and reliable, safe mineral inclusion meaning every order is quality controlled and precision blended. “Agrifeeds is underpinned by a world class supply chain that securely, reliably and efficiently supplies feed products at competitive prices.” “The challenge with New Zealand’s pasture-based system is to stay ahead of the game. With rapidly changing composition and needing to efficiently feed cows, that’s easier said than done. In general in New Zealand we put a lot of focus on growing very good quality grass and then have a relatively low understanding of the fate of those nutrients through a cow.” Agrifeeds supplies an extensive range of quality imported and domestically- sourced animal feed and minerals New Zealand wide.
