At Precision Feeds, we believe that every farm, every animal, and every production system is unique. For this reason, we do not rely on standardised formulas. Instead, we develop custom nutrition programs that consider the specific needs of your livestock, region, and production objectives.
Our solutions are built through continuous collaboration between the farmer, nutritionist, feedmill, and laboratory, ensuring that feeding programs evolve with changing conditions. This integrated system allows us to deliver precision supplementation designed for performance, efficiency, and profitability.
Supplementation programs designed to support livestock during periods of nutritional deficiency in natural grazing, particularly during dry seasons or low-quality veld conditions.
The focus of these solutions is to provide a stable intake pattern which supports maximum veld utilization by providing targeted protein, vitamin, mineral, and energy support to maintain animal condition and productivity.
During periods of active pasture growth, supplementation focuses on mineral balance, phosphorus supply, and metabolic support, ensuring animals maximise the nutritional value of available grazing.
Supplementation programs designed for:
Flush feeding of ewes before mating.
Early and late pregnancy
Lactation support both in grazing and confined/ “lamhokkie” systems
Growth of young replacement stock for optimum breeding herd entry and performanc.
Lamb creep feed.
Strategic supplements for unique situations. E.g. Lucerne grazing pastures where special attention is paid to the prevention of frothy and gaseous bloat.
These feeding strategies support reproductive performance, lamb growth, and flock productivity. Wool quality and clean fleece yield are at the centre of the nutritional ideology.
Nutrition programs tailored for:
Growth and development of replacement heifers for optimum breeding herd entry and performance.
Development of young bulls as well as bull preparation for mating season and
sales.
Calf backgrounding supplements.
Cow fattening supplements for cull or sale animals to improve condition.
Strategic supplements for unique situations. E.g. Stubble or stower grazing where special attention is paid to the prevention of acidosis.
Each program is designed to optimise young stock development, growth rates, feed eAiciency, and herd health.
Precision Feeds also provides complete feed options (Total Mixed Ration) for feedlotting of Cattle, Sheep and Goats. Special attention is paid to deliver balanced energy, protein, minerals, and functional nutrients for optimal growth and finishing performance. Our TMR solutions are renowned for not only very high ADG but also economic Feed: Gain rations. TMR’s are highly focussed on rumen health and include active buAers and adequate long fibre fractions.
For producers who prefer on-farm feed mixing, we provide carefully designed concentrate blends that allow flexibility while maintaining nutritional accuracy. This approach allows farmers to combine local ingredients (mielies, silage or lucerne/hay) that are locally grown by themselves or neighbors to reduce the reliance on outside inputs to achieve their nutritional goals. By using Precision Feeds concentrates farmers can still benefit from using scientifically formulated nutrient solutions and access to independent nutritionist services and laboratory testing to ensure the concentrates are being used with the correct ingredients.
Specialised supplementation programs designed for both high value and common wildlife species where natural grazing systems require additional mineral and protein support. Supplementation programs include registered insect repelling agents such as Garlium, which have been proven to aid in reducing active tick loads as well as other pesty insects.
