Healthy, productive livestock starts with the right nutrition. Feedtek provides a complete range of premium feed additives, premixes and concentrates, supported by expert technical advice to help farmers formulate balanced, high-performance feeds.

Providing livestock with the right feed is one of the most important investments a farmer can make. A balanced, high-quality diet supports every aspect of animal health and productivity, leading to better performance and improved profitability.

Whether you farm dairy and beef cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, ostriches or game, Feedtek delivers trusted nutritional solutions for you.

Some of Feedtek’s trusted nutritional solutions:

Beef Gainer 110

Farmers can mix this protein mineral vitamin concentrate on their farm. This product is highly concentrated, makes maximal use of own or local ingredients and contains a palatant to enhance feed intake  through its appealing taste and aroma, as well as buffers and ionophores to improve feed conversion.

Due to flexible farm mixing, it can be mixed with maize, hominy chop, oilcake meal, hay, silage or crop residues to formulate finisher feeds based on available ingredients and animal needs.

Beef Gainer 110 is designed for feedlot finishing and can also be used in rations for show or auction cattle when mixed according to Feedtek recommendations.

For best results:

• Introduce cattle to the ration gradually.
• Ensure adequate good quality roughage is available at all times
• Follow the feeding recommendations provided by Feedtek.
• Because it contains non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and medicated additives, it should not be fed to horses or game animals.

Mutton Gainer 125

Feedtek Mutton Gainer 125 is a concentrated protein, mineral, trace mineral, and vitamin supplement formulated for home-mixed sheep rations. It is suitable for finishing lambs as well as supporting the nutritional requirements of breeding ewes and rams.

This highly concentrated feed allows farmers to maximise the use of their own or locally available ingredients, such as maize, barley, and wheat. The concentrate contains a combination of buffers and ionophores to support healthy rumen function and help reduce the risk of digestive disorders in sheep.

Mutton Gainer 125 also contains a palatant to enhance feed intake, as well as ammonium salts to help prevent urinary stones in small stock. Ammonium salts help acidify the urine, reducing the risk of urinary crystal formation and subsequent development of urinary calculi.

Typical feeding recommendations

• Introduce sheep to the ration gradually over 10 to 14 days.
• Feed finishing rations unrestricted after adaptation.
• Mill roughage to reduce feed sorting and wastage
• If feeding high-grain diets, Feedtek recommends using a buffer pack to further reduce the risk of acidosis.
• Not suitable for horses or game due to the inclusion of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and medicated additives.

CHOC GRAIN 69 for small stock

This is the most concentrated chocolate grain concentrate on the market. It is suitable for farm mixing with whole or milled grain. The product contains hydrated lime, which acts as an adhesive to keep the concentrate on the grain and serves as an excellent rumen buffer to help reduce acidosis.

Ionophores improve feed conversion efficiency while ammonium salts help prevent urinary calculi, especially in feedlot lambs and rams.

Feedtek recommends Choc Grain 69 for:

• Energy supplementation for sheep, cattle and goats on grazing.
• Flush feeding ewes before and during mating.
• Creep feed for pre-weaned lambs.
• Finishing lambs and sheep in feedlots or kraals.
• Homemade lick blocks and harvested-land licks.
