Why 80/20? Transition period refers to six weeks prior to calving and three weeks post calving. Although this accounts for only 20% of the production cycle, research across the globe has shown that it has a major influence on the subsequent 80% of the production cycle.

Transition Nutrition Products Wynnstay have a range of Transition related products designed to promote a healthy and profitable Transition.

Dairy Feeds

Transition Cow Feeds 8 weeks to 3 weeks pre-calving At drying off, cows should have a body condition score of 2.75 - 3.0, the goal is to maintain a healthy rumen with a bulky forage ration. Typical ration for dry cows from eight weeks to three weeks before calving:

Restricted grass silage or grazing 3 - 4kg chopped straw* Free choice dry cow Minpot Clean, fresh water

3 weeks pre-calving to calving The goal in the last three weeks before calving is to help reduce disorders around calving and ease the transition to a lactating programme. To meet all criteria, a correct amount of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and forage must be fed. Intake is also important because frequently there is a loss of appetite as calving time nears.

CALF SERVICES Wynnstay offer quality, nutritional, calf feeds for your chosen rearing system; whether for dairy heifers or beef calves. Our dedicated Calf Specialists can offer advice on any aspect of youngstock management, colostrum management, selecting the best milk replacer and advice on housing and equipment.

Colostrum Feeding The performance of calves on milk replacers is boosted significantly if they have received adequate quantities of high quality colostrum within the first six hours of birth. TM

• When a calf is born it has no antibodies to fight disease and is highly vulnerable to infection. Newborn calves need at least 3.5L of high quality colostrum within six hours of birth - ideally from the first milk. • Keep a supply of good quality frozen colostrum to defrost and feed in case none is available at the time of birth. • Consider feeding colostrum for as long as you can, as well as being absorbed into the blood, colostral antibodies also offer the calf local protection from viruses and bacteria in the gut.

Wynnstay are main agents for the supply of Holm & Laue, Urban and Foerster Technik computerised calf machines 6

CALF FEEDS Calf Starter Feeding Protocols Calves should be introduced to starter feed at three days of age. A good tip is to crumble a small amount of feed and place on the calf’s tongue after their milk feed - this will encourage calves to the feed and help early intakes. Offer starter feed ad lib but keep fresh. Ensure clean, fresh water, and good quality straw are always on offer.

Weaning Weaning can be a stressful time for the calf and if not carried out properly can set back progress within the rearing programme. Criteria for weaning heifer calves are as follows: • Target weaning age is eight weeks • Calves should have doubled their birthweight • C alves should be consuming at least 2kg per day of Start ‘n’ Wean nuts or Super Krunch + AlfAlfa for three consecutive days prior to weaning • Calves to be weaned are healthy and free of disease Heifer calves can be weaned in groups of 6 - 8 animals. The calves grouped together according to age and size from a few weeks after birth. This is carried out to help minimise stress associated with weaning. Weaning can either be over a period of 4 - 5 days whereby the amount of milk offered is gradually reduced or calves can be weaned abruptly, providing calves are consuming 2kg Start ‘n’ Wean nuts or Super Krunch + AlfAlfa for three consecutive days. Calves should be kept on the same forage and starter feed over the weaning period. After weaning, calves remain in the same pen for 1 - 2 weeks. The starter feed continuing to be offered ad lib until concentrate intakes of around 3kg per calf per day are achieved. The animals can then be moved to rearing accommodation.

Rearing the calf

(weaning - 4 months)

Calves at this stage are managed to achieve growth rates approaching 0.75 - 0.85kg per calf per day. This is achieved by maintaining calves on ad lib forage as well as introducing them at 10 - 12 weeks of age on to a quality AdVance™ rearing compound (Heifer 600, Rearer 18, Rearer 16). Typical feeding rates are between 1 - 4kg per calf per day depending on the quality of forage on offer.

HEIFER REARER FEEDS Goals of

Heifer Rearing Programme

The AdVanceTM Heifer Rearing Programme is geared to efficiently rear Heifers to meet critical development goals at optimum levels. The Heifers will reach puberty at approximately 10 - 11 months of age and weigh 270 - 295kg, before going on to develop to their most favourable breeding age of 14 - 15 months; standing at 50 - 52” tall at the hip and weighing 350 - 400kg. Sound development in this way will gear the Heifer up for calving at 24 months of age, weighing 610 - 630kg, with a BCS of 3.5. In summary, the programme supports a relatively constant rate of gain; 0.8kg/day from birth up to calving, whilst optimising feed costs.

Background/Economical Information • T he average cost of rearing heifers is over £1,400 - £1,500 and feed accounts for 60% of the cost from weaning to calving (versus 38% of the cost from birth until weaning) • L ifetime productivity is maximized when heifers calve at 23 - 24 months of age, provided they are of adequate size • D ecreasing the average age at first calving from 28 months to 24 months in a 120 cow dairy herd consisting of 33% heifers would result in an annual saving of £7,000-£8,000

Weaning to Six Months of Age • W ean heifers based upon dry feed consumption more so than age (most dairy calves are weaned between 4 - 8 weeks of age) • Feed a high quality calf starter • Once heifers are regularly consuming over 2kg of calf starter per day for three consecutive days, they can be weaned • Be certain to group calves according to body weight/size • Do not begin feeding silages until calves are weaned

Six Months to Breeding (13-16 months of age) • Utilise forages as the primary basis of rations during this period • Feed concentrates only in amounts needed to balance the ration for the desired amount of daily gain • Have forages analysed so that quality is known, not estimated • P uberty is a function of weight, not age. Expect Holstein heifers to reach puberty when they weigh 270 - 295kg

Breeding to Calving (23-25 months of age) • C ontinue to maximise forages, feeding only enough concentrate(s) to meet animals’ requirements. Usually 0.5 - 3.5kg of concentrate/head/day, depending on forage types available • I f fed on excellent quality hay, silage, or grazing, no supplemental concentrate may be needed for the majority of this period • Follow the Wynnstay 80/20 Dry Cow Programme in the last eight weeks before calving

LAMB FEEDS The LAMBMASTER™ range of compound feeds are a truly superb range of lamb diets for all systems from store lamb finishing to intensive early lamb production. Developed following extensive in-field experience and many University and College trials, these diets are the ones others look up to. All Wynnstay LAMBMASTER™ feeds are formulated to minimise the risk of urinary calculi and include ammonium chloride at the recommended level and buffers to prevent acidosis. A unique sweetener ensures excellent palatability and a quick uptake by lambs.

Creep Feeding The value of creep feeding for early lambing flocks to achieve rapid growth rates, to catch the early high priced lamb market, is proven. Creep fed lambs will potentially grow more than three times faster than non-creep fed lambs. In wet and cold late springs, some creep feeding will be invaluable for lamb survival. LAMBMASTER™ should be available from 4-5 days of age in a covered creep area.

Intensive Early Lamb Production Usually for December/January lambing flocks who wish to finish lambs on peak of spring price rise. Lambs are weaned at six weeks and remain indoors on pellets until finished. Provide a well lit, clean area to encourage lambs to creep feed. Provide dry bedding, good ventilation and fresh water at all times. Offer LAMBMASTER™ gradually, over a period of seven days and then ad lib.

Store Lamb Finishing - Concentrates All lamb breeds are used on this system where lambs are finished on a rising price, usually in the New Year. Aim for 0.75m2 lying area and 0.3m trough space/ lamb. Allow a maximum of 40 lambs/pen, with dry bedding. Good ventilation and adequate lighting. Provide fresh water at all times. It is advisable to vaccinate for clostridial diseases and pasteurella before housing.

Availability: 20kg bags, 500kg totes Gradually introduce LAMBMASTER™ over a period of seven days, then feed ad lib, ensuring availability at all times. If lambs are not bedded on straw, 100g/hd/day of hay should be available. • Typical DLWG of 150-250g/hd/day, finish in 10 days to six weeks from housing, FCR 5:1 - 7:1

Store Lamb Finishing - Roots, Forage Crops & Grass Strip graze to avoid wastage. Provide clean, fresh water at all times and offer a small quantity of hay or straw, or offer a grass runback. • Typical growth rates 400-500g/hd/day

Typical Performance • DLWG 350-420 g/hd/day • Finish in 12-14 wks from birth • FCR 3.5 - 4:1 • Mortality <5%

Always introduce pellets gradually over a period of seven days. Beware of pellet feeding with fodder beet as mineral imbalances can occur and lead to nutritional problems - speak with our Technical Department first. Wynnstay Group Plc

SHEEP FEEDS 4 million lambs are lost in the period just pre-lambing to a few days of age, costing the industry an estimated £120 million per annum, 55% of which are due to poor ewe feeding. The message is very clear - sheep farmers should feed the best possible ewe concentrate pre and post-lambing to maximize profitability. The lowest cost product will simply not do. The Cost Of Ewe Concentrate Feeding The MLC sheep yearbook shows an average annual concentrate usage of around 50kg per ewe. £20/tonne difference in the cost of concentrates is equivalent to £1.00/ewe. For an additional outlay of only £1.00 per ewe, significant improvements in aspects of health and productivity of ewes and lambs can be expected. These will be seen in the four basic and essential factors of profitable lamb production.

1. Healthy ewes produce healthy lambs a. Avoiding pregnancy toxaemia due to energy deficiency b. Avoid hypocalcaemia due to an imbalance of calcium and magnesium c. Ewes need sound feet and udders for optimum lamb rearing

Well fed ewes produce more colostrum and milk

All EWEMASTER® feeds are formulated to achieve these essential targets.


EWEMASTER® Sheep Feed Range EWEMASTER® feeds are quality, high energy concentrates with a

spread of raw materials including a balance of starch and sugars, digestible fibre and fat, enabling healthy rumen function. They contain: • High levels of quality protein thus encouraging the ewe to milk off her own back maximising milk production and improving lamb growth • Optimum levels of magnesium, phosphorus and calcium to avoid hypocalcaemia • A unique vitamin and trace element supplement including generous levels of:

- Cobalt - associated with lambs standing and suckling earlier - Iodine - required for the production of active brown adipose tissue which provides energy for shivering (in newborn lambs, 30% of heat generation comes from brown fat) - Zinc - active in immunity against disease and essential in the production of keratin, affecting both udder and foot health - Zinpro Availa Zinc - well proven to be more effective than all other sources of zinc - Vitamin E (110mg/kg) & Sel-Plex® Selenium - essential for lamb vigour, survivability and immunity to disease

PIG FEEDS Wynnstay have been manufacturing monogastric diets for over 50 years. Wynnstay have a policy of using high quality raw materials together with specially formulated supplements to ensure diets will perform to the requirements of today’s standards. The new Wynnstay High Quality Protein (HQP) pig feeds are formulated to amino acids, rather than crude protein, to ensure specific amino acid requirements are met and correctly balanced; this is required for optimum performance and growth of lean meat.

PROTEIN CONCENTRATES Many farmers who grow their own cereals want to feed them back to their stock. To ensure a balanced diet is fed, it is important to include protein and minerals and vitamins. Wynnstay have developed a range of balancers, with or without minerals and vitamins, to enable a fully balanced concentrate to be mixed on farm.

Protein Booster Pellets Manufactured from quality protein sources, these are high quality 3mm pellets. Non-mineralised, they can be mixed with cereals and safely fed to dairy cows, dairy youngstock, beef cattle or sheep. Some cereal can be replaced with sugar beet pulp, NIS or soya hulls pellets to add some digestible fibre to the concentrate (especially useful for younger stock). Minerals must then be added to the mix.

Supreme Protein 38 Pellets 38% protein

Protein Booster 38 + Urea Pellets 38% protein Feed from three months of age upwards (not with grass silage)

Sheep Concentrates EWEMASTER® 33 Pellets A very high quality 33% protein, fully mineralised sheep balancer concentrate for mixing with home-grown cereals, or other low protein concentrates, sugar beet pulp, NIS or soya bean hulls.

Cattle Concentrates Cattle Protein 35 + Biosprint® Pellets 35% protein from soya and rape, suitable for all beef and dairy cattle, from calves upwards, mineralised Biosprint® live yeast for + 10% daily live weight gain

LIQUID FEEDS Wynnstay are main agents for Quality Liquid Feeds (QLF) products So why choose QLF?

QLF uses British Beet Molasses This has 2.5 times the natural protein of imported cane molasses. This results in a higher natural protein element in all QLF’s blends and its use supports UK agriculture.

QLF Timed Release Protein Releases in the rumen in the same way as soya, thus providing a cost effective alternative to bought in proteins.

QLF Sucrose and Lactose QLF uses sugar from both sucrose and lactose and feeding a dual sugar mix can result in increased rumen bacteria and increased rumen efficiency.

QLF Energizer Products Use palm oil containing 98% C16 & C18 fatty acids. Feeding oil in a liquid increases the palatability of the feed, compared to solid oil (flake) which can reduce intakes.

QLF Custom made products QLF will manufacture any protein, sugar and oil ration that you require to match your feed requirements. By feeding what you need, feed wastage is minimised and feeding cost reduced. QLF manufactures molasses based liquid feeds on licence from Quality Liquid Feeds in the USA, the largest liquid feed company in the world. Quality Liquid Feeds have undergone 30 years of development in the USA and we are at the forefront of liquid feed technology today. We can also supply any equipment you may require ranging from 1,000L to 40,000L storage tanks and a variety of lick tanks enabling product to be fed to livestock ad-lib. All of our products are manufactured in our UFAS approved manufacturing plants and we are able to custom make product to suit your particular requirements.
