Benefits for Beef Cattle

Our system benefits cattle in the following ways:

• Improved weight gain
• Improved fat and marbling
• Improved general well being in the herd
• Improved coat condition
• Improved fertility

Our farmers tell us that when winter feeding their bulls sprouting fodder as an integrated part of their diet they achieved a 41% increase in weight versus the control group fed on a normal winter diet.

In turn the benefits for the health of animals turn into benefits for the farmers with better prices at markets and more meat per animal at the abattoir.
