The right supplementation will not only help build condition but also ensure ewes receive the important minerals and trace elements that will be essential to future performance.

Feeding for optimum rumen function will help greatly towards achieving optimum body condition come tupping, but it is also be important to consider other potential deficiencies.

Short supplies of poor-quality forage may have left ewes short of vitamins, trace elements and minerals, so providing adequate supplies through feeding Rumevite Sheep Super may well help to avoid problems further down the line. Fish oil, which provides a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, is another important inclusion, as this will help to boost ewe fertility at a critical time.

Don’t assume that a new flush of grass has what your sheep need 🌱
In areas where drought has not had such a devasting effect, there is the potential for a false sense of security that may lead to ewes not gaining the body condition they need.

Sheep grazing on pastures that are recovering from drought may only be receiving ‘rumen fill’ and offering supplementation now, could help improve intake and also provide the vital mineral and vitamins need to help ewes gain body condition in the run up to tupping.

Rumevite Sheep Super is an easy, cost and time effective option to provide free access supplementation this autumn.

Caring for autumn calvers after hot weather 🐄
Dry cow nutrition for autumn calving dairy cows requires additional attention following heat stress and a shortage of available grazing.

The period leading up to calving is especially critical when conditions are more challenging. Maintaining optimum body condition score (BCS) and avoiding any deficiencies are now key priorities.

LIFELINE Pre-Calver, offers a balanced supply of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and a number of unique nutritional additives to support cow and calf health. Available as a mineral bucket or mineral crumb, it offers a simple low-labour solution, whether cows remain outside on pasture or are moved inside.

Help cows with heat stress to a better calving! ☀
Ensuring cows have everything they need at this time, particularly where there are stress factors such as extreme heat, is the recommended best practice, and that is exactly what LIFELINE Pre-Calver’s unique formulation has been developed to do.

It has a low calcium and high magnesium balance to help mitigate against milk fever and to minimise the risk of difficult calvings.

It has also been proven in trials to increase colostrum quality by up to 20%, which could be the difference between a thriving calf and one that is susceptible to disease.

Dealing with drought aftermath? 🐑
With forage still in short supply and tupping time almost upon us, now is the time to be focussing on ewe and tup body condition. The temptation will be to feed concentrates, but this is both costly and not necessarily the best option.
Most ewes should be somewhere between a BCS of 2.5-3.5 depending on your system.

Feeding Rumevite Sheep Super now will help boost rumen function and enable your flock to get more from what forage is available. Offering a little and often free access block will provide the energy, protein, mineral and vitamins your flock need.

With silage quality and quantity a concern in some parts of the UK and with feed stocks down for many, 2026 will be a crucial year to optimise forage production.

With its ability to improve silage quality, speed up fermentation and provide a higher dry matter and nutrient-rich forage, NovaSile CS could be the answer for making a better maize clamp this year.

NovaSile CS is suitable for all forage types, making it easy to adopt on larger farms that produce maize and wholecrop in addition to grass. The product is available in 200-gram sachets, each able to treat 100 tonnes of fresh forage when diluted in up to 7 litres of water. It is best applied during chopping to ensure even coverage and can be applied via both low-dosing systems and standard systems.

Our silage additive, NovaSile CS, contains two fast-acting lactic acid bacteria that reduce the pH level of a clamp or bale quickly, to protect its nutrient value and prevent against yeast and mould development that can cause silage to heat.

NovaSile CS also contains an acetic acid-producing bacteria that improves aerobic stability once silage is exposed to oxygen.

Having two independent bacteria working in harmony enables NovaSile CS to keep ensiled forage cool and improve dry matter retention when the clamp is opened.

The homofermentative and heterofermentative bacterial strains provide complementary properties that keep silage stable and lock in nutrients, helping to optimise feed quality.
