Taking environmental factors into consideration enables us to make goal-orientated recommendations to our clients, therefore offering them maximum economic sustainability. BioMinerale’s objective is to achieve sustainable growth through the utilisation of optimal production processes, quality service and trustworthy suppliers. Livestock diets were supplemented with phosphates when the grass was young and green, and protein licks were added to diets when the veld was dry and ripe. However, licks are applied more strategically in modern feed regimes, which are drawn up in conjunction with reproduction programs in a holistic farm-management approach. It follows then that the lick formula that work best in these modern feed regimes are those determined by the nutritious value of the veld, which is dependent on the season. Not only does the veld’s nutrient content vary according to the season, the palatability and digestibility of the grass also fluctuate as the months pass. Research has shown, for instance, that intakes can decrease from between 10 and 12kg in the early summer, when the grass is green and growing, to as low as between 5 and 6kg from the middle to the end of winter. Another aspect that needs to be kept in mind when compiling a feed regime is that of the nutritious needs of the animals. The production cycle probably has the most significant impact on nutritious needs, specifically of female animals. Given all the aspects that need to be kept in mind, drawing up a feed regime can be a daunting and overwhelming task. By using our experience BioMinerale can determine specific shortages of each herd at specific times of the year, a tailor-made lick program can be compiled for a specific farming operation. In this way, the ideal combination of nutrients can be fed at the right time, to ensure maximum cost-efficiency.
