® — Built to balance the feed you grow.

Your best paddock might be bloody good feed. But it's not a balanced diet.

We grow some exceptional grass here in New Zealand.
But look at that grass with the rumen in mind, and there's a lot more to the story.

The rumen is a biological engine and runs best when the microbes inside get a consistent supply of what they need, and in the right balance.

Modern pasture doesn't offer this.

While we love grass too, it is a moving target. What's in it shifts with season, growth stage and weather, and what reaches her rumen is never the same twice.

So the paddock can look outstanding while what arrives in the rumen underperforms.

That's where Forage Balancer® fits.

It's a loose lick mineral system built around New Zealand forage and the way we actually farm, helping balance the nutrition gaps as stock, feed and seasons change.

Check out this mob hooking straight into their freshly formulated Forage Balancer® with iodine built in, to help bridge the gap winter crops can strip. Dan and his vet called it, we built it.

Vet Services recommended Dan get some extra iodine into his ewes. We built a custom loose lick with the iodine he wanted. Dan reckons, "Ruminate sorted it, no dramas. Ewes were onto it straight away and they love it."

The next generation of in-paddock supplementation. Support your high performance Dairy Cows and other ruminants by filling in the nutritional gaps in grass and other forages. Add cost-effective Forage Balancer® loose licks to your herd's diet and improve their health and performance effectively and...

You can’t out-feed a rumen that isn’t firing.

When the rumen’s right, the good stuff follows.

Cows do more with what they’re eating. KgMS lifts. Condition holds. Repro has a better chance. Metabolic pressure eases.

That’s where we come in.

We interpret what the rumen needs, then build the diet around it.

Curious what that could unlock for your season?

Not because we don’t love farmers. Quite the opposite.

We’d rather talk with you properly, without shouting over the crowd or pretending a two-minute chat beside a pull-up banner counts as solid nutrition advice.

So while everyone's manning their stands harder than a bull in spring, we'll be here, ready for a yarn that's actually worth your time when you're back.

Call any one of us to lock in a time.

🔔Your next season's results are determined in the dry period.

The nutrition decisions made in the weeks before calving, set the bar for everything that follows.

Get it right and you're ahead before the season even starts. Get it wrong and you're managing the fallout...

Metabolic challenges, down cows, slow repro, production that peaks lower and stays low.

The cost doesn't always show up straight away. But it does show up.

Every year we work with farms across New Zealand to build straightforward, manageable plans that deliver fewer issues and better results.
