NIS Trial Report – Chestnutt Animal Feeds
For many ‘high performing’ ruminant diets, providing enough effective fibre to balance high starch levels, without depressing intakes is an all too common
challenge.
With many facing such predicaments, Chestnutt Feeds conducted a month-long trial of Nutritionally Improved Straw (NIS) Pellets on the farm of a County Antrim dairy customer.
Milking in the region of 270 cows of predominantly Holstein breeding, the enterprise sought an alternative to their dwindling supply of hay, which had
acted as the primary source of long fibre material in the winter ration.
