HOW THE TBA LTD TEAM CAN HELP THIS AUTUMN

TBA can help farmers identify practical opportunities to protect homegrown feed, improve ration consistency and support cow performance throughout winter.

TBA’s approach begins by understanding:

What forage is available
What the analysis shows
What is currently being fed
How the ration is being mixed and presented
What the cows are consuming
What performance is being achieved
Where the farmer wants to improve

From there, the team can help identify the most appropriate combination of advice, analysis, feed products and practical support.

The aim is a more connected winter feeding programme, not a collection of unrelated products.

Practical support for your winter feeding programme

On-farm experience

Advice based on practical feeding conditions, farm objectives and the challenges facing your herd.

Forage and ration support

Technical support connecting forage analysis, ration formulation, TMR consistency and cow performance.

Products selected around your farm

Relevant products recommended according to your forage, ration and production requirements.

FREE WINTER FEED EFFICIENCY CHECK

Could Your Winter Ration Be Costing You Milk?

The feed already in the clamp represents a major investment. However, producing good forage is only part of the job. Changes in dry matter, forage quality, ration formulation, mixing consistency, sorting, feed access and intakes can quietly reduce the value achieved from every tonne.

Small inconsistencies can affect:

-Dry matter intake
-Milk yield and constituents
-Feed efficiency
-Rumen health
-Cow condition
-Purchased feed costs
-The amount of usable feed available throughout winter

A ration can look right on paper and still perform differently at the feed barrier. The TBA team works with farmers to assess the complete feeding picture, from forage analysis and ration formulation to mixing, presentation and cow response.

take the TBA Winter Feed Efficiency Check

Ten practical questions. One clearer picture.

Ten practical checks covering forage analysis, dry matter intake, ration changes, mixing consistency, sorting, feed access, refusals, nutritional balance, cow signals and ongoing review.

Could small gaps in your winter feeding programme be affecting performance?

Complete the TBA Winter Feed Efficiency Check to assess ten important areas of forage and ration management.

For each statement, answer: Yes/ Partly/ No

You will receive an overall score and guidance explaining what your result may mean for your farm. The check takes only a few minutes to complete.

Technical Support From TBA

FORAGE ANALYSIS – Know what you are genuinely feeding

Ask about Forage Analysis

Forage can change as you move through the clamp or begin feeding a different cut, field or crop.

Current analysis provides the foundation for informed ration decisions. It helps identify changes in dry matter, energy, protein, fibre and fermentation characteristics before they become visible through reduced performance.

TBA can help you use forage analysis to understand what is being fed and determine whether the ration requires adjustment.

FEED & TMR ASSESSMENT – Look beyond the ration on paper

Request a Feed & TMR assessment

The formulated ration is only effective if it is mixed, presented and consumed as intended.

A TMR assessment can consider:

Loading order
Mixing time
Chop length
Ingredient distribution
Sorting
Feed presentation
Push-up routines
Feed access
Refusals
What reaches the cow at the feed barrier

TBA can help identify practical inconsistencies that may be affecting intake, feed efficiency and performance.

RATION AND FEEDING ADVICE – Connect forage, purchased feed and cow performance

Speak to the technical team

Winter feeding decisions should reflect current forage results, herd requirements, production targets and what is happening on the farm.

TBA can help review the overall feeding programme and consider whether the ration remains appropriate as forage, intakes and performance change.

Silage Additives and Forage Preservation

Protect the value of conserved forage

Effective preservation helps retain more of the nutritional value already grown and reduces avoidable losses during storage and feed-out.

TBA supplies a range of silage additives and forage preservation products, including:

F1 ForageSafe
F1 Ice Gold
F1 Maize Gold
Other additives for grass silage, maize and wholecrop
Products supporting fermentation and aerobic stability
Solutions for reducing heating and spoilage at feed-out

The appropriate product will depend on the crop, dry matter, harvest conditions, storage system and intended feeding period.
