Quinns of Baltinglass launch top feed range
Padraig Whelan– Quinns Technical Rep
Irish ingredients need to be the foundation of Milk Replacer and Calf Feeds according to Quinns of Baltinglass.
"We source a very high percentage of our ingredients from Irish producers," said Ciaran Murphy, Milk Replacer Specialist at Quinns. This perspective underscores the company’s commitment to using regional resources to create effective and sustainable nutrition for livestock. Farmers support shows as sales of Quinns Milk Replacer sales have doubled in the last 12 months.
The newly launched “ELITE” Calf Feed Range includes the Elite Starter and Elite Follow-On range in both pellet and coarse ration is also created with the same philosophy in mind. "If you look at our Elite calf feed, optimal nutrition has never been more crucial on today’s farms," says Valerie Hobson, Head of Nutrition for Feed at Quinns.
"We are proud to offer products that not only meet but exceed industry standards while sourcing all ingredients from local Irish farmers to lower our carbon footprint."
Valerie says that farmer feedback has being positive and that it is reflected in the demand.
The Elite Calf follow on Ration and Elite Calf Pellets both include Algimun®, a naturally occurring seaweed-based product that reinforces calves’ gut integrity and immune system, leading to a more stable intestinal ecosystem and improved overall health. This support forms the foundation for solid growth and a reduced use of antibiotics.
The Elite Calf Grazer Pellet is specifically designed to aid calves transitioning to a grass-based diet, includes Diamond V, a natural yeast culture known to improve digestion and enhanced feed efficiency and helps reduce risk of summer scour issues and general digestive upsets that often occur on release to grass.
Quinns’ Milk Replacer range includes Quinn Calf 23% and Quinn Heifer 25%, both designed specifically for Irish farmers. These premium milk replacers are rich in skim and whey proteins, promoting healthier digestion and reducing the risks of scour and digestive upsets. "Our formulations are developed to facilitate effective rumen development," remarks Ciaran Murphy, Milk Replacer Specialist at Quinns. "With added prebiotics and buttermilk, they minimize stomach upsets, fostering overall health and productivity."
Join us in celebrating the launch of this essential product range aimed at empowering farmers and ensuring healthier, more resilient calves.
Quinns of Baltinglass are launching its premium Milk Replacer and Elite Calf Feed range this Friday 17 January from 11am to 1pm at the Quinns Superstore, Baltinglass.
