We are a one stop shop for 95% of your dairy animal requirement. We ensure the farmer is able to provide his cows with all necessary nutrients for body growth which translates to high milk production.
Cows need minimum daily amounts of energy and proteins to function, grow and produce milk. They also require a minimum amount of fibre in each meal and a small amount of vitamins and minerals.

Advantages of Maize Silage
• Maize silage is forage rich in energy for high yielding dairy cows.
• Maize silage is more nutritious and more palatable than hay so cows eat more and produce more milk.
• It makes the total ration cheaper as less dairy meal is required.
• Maize silage will give you more milk and improve on general body condition of the cow as a result a better return.
• It can easily be transported without losing any nutritional value.
• A long shelf life, the farmer does not have to invest a lot of cash in advance for stock because we can supply weekly or monthly.

Hay: Hay is a perfect product to stimulate the rumen activity. Ideal for feeding young stock and cows in transition. Boma Rhodes hay is available in our yards.
Concentrates:Contains high levels of proteins which are essential for growth & development of a cow. Pembe feeds superyielder and normal dairy meal are available at our shops. Calf pellets which is essential in triggering rumen development by ensuring the rumen microbial begins to grow and papillae development are available.
Minerals supplements/Feed additives: For a dairy animal, research has proven that dairy cattle require trace mineral supplementation daily. Lack of crucial mineral supplements in the animal’s diet is a major contributing factor in making a more profitable herd. Importance includes; an animal having fewer days post-calving to come on heat again and be served, takes care of lameness conditions
Vitamins and minerals are essential for bodily processes like bones, meat, skin, milk etc,.A poorly managed mineral program is just a waste of money
