Ruminant Feed Suppliers
B&W Feeds is one of the largest independent suppliers of conventional livestock feed and organic feed in the UK.
Beef, Sheep and Dairy Feed
Our beef, dairy and sheep feeds are produced at our Dorset headquarters and are available for collection or delivery. Where suitable, feed can also be milled and mixed directly on farm using the customer's own cereals and pulses.
We offer a full range of ruminant diets, for a range of species and production systems.
We have a range of both Organic and Conventional Blends.
Why Our Ruminant Blends Are Formulated This Way
- Locally sourced ingredients: Raw materials are sourced as locally as possible, with conventional cereals grown on our own estate where available.
- Quality ingredients: We use carefully selected raw materials and do not include fillers or waste products.
- Fully supplemented blends: Our ruminant blends include a comprehensive mineral and vitamin package.
- Formulated for each production stage: Blends are designed around the nutritional requirements of livestock at different stages of production. For example:
- Calf Creep Blend contains 18% protein to support growth and frame development.
- Beef Finisher Blend provides more than 13 MJ/kg DM of metabolisable energy and more than 45% starch to support liveweight gain.
- Digestible fibre and appropriate cereal structure: Ruminant blends include sugar beet pellets as a source of digestible fibre. Cereals are rolled to an appropriate structure as part of a balanced ration, helping to support rumen health and reduce the risk of acidosis.
- Organic blend ingredients: Organic ruminant blends can include organic lucerne pellets as a source of fibre and protein, depending on the formulation.
- Balanced protein sources: Our ruminant blends contain protein sources selected to provide a balance of digestible undegradable protein (DUP) and effective rumen degradable protein (ERDP).
- Soya-free finishing option: Beef Finisher Blend is soya-free, making it suitable for livestock produced under certain processor or retailer requirements and contracts.
- Flexible feeding options: We aim to make our blends as versatile as possible, reducing the need to purchase several different feeds. For example, Ewe and Lamb Blend can be fed to ewes before and after lambing, as well as to lambs as a creep feed.
- Collection and delivery options: Blends are available in bulk for tipped or blown delivery, one-tonne tote bags and 25kg bags.
