Tom Moir speaks with Milne Feeds Business Development Manager, Brett Blanchett, about our new sheep feed, Easy2Gro LM. Formulated with our Hyfibe and patent-pending LM technologies, Easy2Gro LM is designed to maximise performance while reducing methane emissions.

Brett explains how it differs from other products, outlines the expected performance benefits and shares figures on cost per kilo of liveweight gain.

He also provides an overview of our purpose-built feedlot trial facility in Mount Barker, detailing what can be measured, how trials are conducted and how conditions are structured to reflect real-world production systems.

Mark Francis is a Pingelly sheep farmer running a small-scale operation, but one that is quite intensive and is achieving great results from his feedlot, thanks to his effective feeding and management practices.

He’s adapted to his area well, and his combination of interests infeeding and genetics has very positive outcomes on his profitability.

In this episode, Milne Feeds Sales Manager, Paul Nenke,shares insights from his recent trip to the United States, where he visited a range of sheep, beef and dairy operations.

Paul’s observations highlight some of the core differencesbetween the two systems and reinforce the value of Australia’s approach to livestock nutrition and production.
