FLOCK AUDIT
MAXIMISE YOUR FLOCK PERFORMANCE
Understanding the current health of your flock is critical in identifying any health concerns.
Evaluate the health of your flock to help identify areas of concern that can affect fertility, immune function and prevent losses.
Resources
ANALYSIS 1
MANURE CONSISTENCY
A visible assessment of manure consistency across the flock as an indicator of general flock health.
ANALYSIS 2
DIETARY COMPONENT (NIRS)1
A dietary component report on the forage will provide protein and fibre levels which can be subsequently used to formulate rations to meet the nutritional requirements of the flock.
(NIRS)1 Near-infrared Spectroscopy
ANALYSIS 3
MINERALS (ICP-OES)2
A mineral profile of the Forage will determine
the level of major minerals, trace elements and Antagonist minerals in the forage.
A diet predominantly based on grazing grass may lead to mineral imbalances which can affect fertility, disease control and lamb mortality.

YOUR AUDIT WILL LOOK FOR KEY INDICATORS INCLUDING …
- Summary explanation of your results
- Manure consistency
- Dietary component report
- Mineral and trace element report
- Highlight any antagonists which could lead to mineral lock-ups
- Give a detailed breakdown of mineral and trace element deficiencies
ALL CROP BACTERIAL SILAGE INOCULANT
HM Inoculant® is a silage additive/preservative which induces rapid and cool fermentation to reduce the loss of energy components in forage. This not only reduces your silage losses, but HM Inoculant® treatment also increases the gross energy and digestibility of forage.
