Green Feed Supplementation - Sheep & Cattle
RumenWorks Nutrition

Sheep & Cattle Production Gains with Green Feed Licks

The RumenWorks Nutrition Green Feed Lick (GFL) range of products aims to help the producer gain the most returns from their pasture investment. By supplementing livestock on green pastures the utilisation of the pasture will be improved and can lead to potential heavier stocking rates.

RumenWorks Nutrition GFLs are different from most others on offer as we believe that the soil type plays a large role in nutrient uptake within the plant and therefore the intake of the plant nutrition by the grazing animal. RumenWorks Nutrition GFLs are designed according to specific soil types and aim to give your grazing animal the best supplementary support whilst grazing on green feed or planted fodder crops such as oats, winter wheat, ryegrass, forage sorghum and lucerne.

The RumenWorks Nutrition Green Feed Licks aim to help the producer manage the differing problems of green pastures such as Grass Tetany, Bloat and poorly producing animals.

Improved Feed Conversion

The single biggest contributor to sheep and cattle profitability is increasing the feed conversion rates on pasture.
