Coarse Rations

Many of the members of our Technical Sales Advisory team hold degree qualifications in Agricultural Science; many have years of experience working closely and learning everyday from top class farmers; and many of our team are themselves actively farming on a part-time basis. We aim to stay abreast of grassland management & animal nutrition research with the firm objective of bringing solutions and value to our loyal customers' farm businesses. Sustainability has 3 legs - economic, social and environmental - but we are very clear that first & foremost comes economic sustainability - our customers need to make a profit & OUR job is to help YOU to do just that.

Nut / Cubed Feeds

Our Nuts are contract manufactured to meet our own specifications. We apply the same formulation principles when designing our performance Nuts that we use when formulating our own market-leading Coarse Rations. Within the range of Nuts which we offer we carry a few least cost formulated feeds; feeds which aim to meet a certain price point; however we largely promote & sell the higher energy dairy, beef & sheep nuts containing top ingredients and little of the by-products. For further information please contact your local Drummonds branch or Technical Sales Advisor.
