                              |  |  |  Initially available in three distinct formulations that
                      target key performance areas, the Farm Pak products are
                      supplied in 25kg bags for inclusion in farm-mixed rations
                      at a standard inclusion rate of 50g/head/day for adult
                      cattle.
 Farm Pak Elevate (for optimum udder health, hoof condition
                      and fertility), Farm Pak Rumenate (for improved rumen function),
                      and Farm Pak Immunate (for optimum immune status in the
                      calf and dry cow), each provide a powerful synergistic
                      combination of proven and established Alltech feed supplements.
 
 “The challenges faced by high-performing herds are
                      complex and varied and very often the solutions may be
                      multi-faceted,” says Alltech’s ruminant technical
                      manager David Wilde. “In most cases it is better
                      to tackle the performance-limiting issues through prevention
                      rather than cure, and that’s really what the Farm
                      Pak range is designed to do.
 
 “We have combined the strengths of many well known
                      brands in specific formulations that are designed to help
                      high performing herds move smoothly to the next level of
                      performance.
 
 “The Farm Pak products are a flexible and highly
                      accessible solution, as they can be readily added to the
                      TMR or fed at the feed face all year round. We see these
                      products as a vital part of an overall “contract
                      of excellence” that progressive producers will have
                      with their vets and nutrition advisers.”
