Alpha Range

New in 2008 was the Alpha range of dairy blends. Whilst incorporating all the benefits of the HGM mineral pack to ensure herd health, they provide an energy rich blend of raw materials to compliment variable forage quality.Alpha Logo

Allowing for alternative forages such as maize or wholecrop is not an issue as the range offers value for money protein choices to compliment these.

 

Premier Range

The Premier Range of dairy diets is designed to maximise performance from forage and complements a wide range of silage types and feed levels.

The range is well suited to the dairy cow yielding up to 5,800litres, producing quality milk, efficiently. With varying protein percentages, these rations have been formulated to balance varying silage qualities.

 

Classic Range

The Classic Range is designed for the high yielding dairy cow. These rations are manufactured from a limited range of high quality traditional raw materials.

Mineral and Vitamin levels in these rations have been increased to reflect the mineral profiles of silages from Northern Ireland Farms.

HGM Range

Thompsons HGM range meets the challenge of the increasing genetic potential of modern dairy cows. Wheat and maize are the main energy providers in the HGM diets, with rations also containing the protected oil Megalac.

Also included is Thompsons protected mineral and vitamin pack which is added to ensure optimum herd health and fertility. The HGM rations can be depended upon to deliver high yields of quality milk, cost-effectively.

DairyAs we move in to the main feeding period this year, reassess where you are with your herd of cows. Select the correct ration and then plan accordingly as to the level required for a desired level of milk production.

A global drive for free markets means Northern Ireland farmers must compete with the best worldwide in terms of product production efficiency, environmental impact, and food taste to ensure their products receive shelf space in a highly competitive food industry.
