Calving Starts Sooner Than You Think

Most farmers think about calving when it’s right in front of them.
But the work actually starts now.

What you do in the weeks leading up to calving will decide:
– How cows come in
– How they milk
– How they recover

That’s where the right setup matters:
• GET-SET-COW Transition Feed Pellets
• Loose-Lick Customised Mineral Lick

Get ahead now — don’t chase it later.

Start Them Right

You only get one chance to rear a good calf.
What you feed early matters.
Not just for growth now —
but for what they turn into later.
✔ Stronger heifers
✔ Better cows
✔ Better production

Don’t cut corners here.
Good calves make great cows.

What Your Pasture Isn’t Providing

Even good pasture doesn’t give cows everything they need.
That’s where things can quietly slip:
– Fertility
– Condition
– Health

Loose-Lick Customised Mineral Lick
is an easy way to top up what’s missing.
✔ Cows take what they need
✔ No fuss
✔ Works alongside your feeding system

Simple — but it makes a real difference.
💬 Ask us which one suits your farm.

May = Recover Phase
May is about recovery.

What you do now sets cows up for what comes next.
After the pressure of the season, cows need to rebuild — not just maintain.
✔ Restore condition
✔ Rebuild energy reserves
✔ Set up for a strong transition

That’s where the right feed makes the difference:
• DBC MILK-Maker High Energy Dairy Pellets
• Loose-Lick (Max Phos)

No two farms run the same — so why feed them the same?
At DBC, we build feed solutions around your system, your cows, and your goals.

Because getting the small things right delivers the big results.

Winter Feeding Sets Up Your Season

Winter isn’t just about getting cows through.
It’s where you either:
✔ Hold condition
✔ Or lose it

And if you lose it now — you’ll feel it at calving.

The best farms:
– Keep feed consistent
– Balance what’s missing
– Don’t leave it to chance

Get winter right, and the rest gets easier.

Another great message from Advanced Feed!

🌱 Second-round grass is here – and it’s packed with highly soluble protein.
That’s great news for cow performance, but only if you’ve got the energy to match it. By supplementing with high-starch products, you:
✅ Boost microbial protein production – the most important protein source for lactating dairy cows.
✅ Drive higher milk yield by capturing more of that pasture protein.
✅ Improve nitrogen utilisation – less wasted in urine, more going into the vat.
The result? More milk from the same pasture and a healthier, more efficient herd.
👉 Talk to us about starch-based options to balance your second and third round pastures and get the most out of every bite.
Choose from whole or rolled grains or nutritionally balanced pelleted feeds and homogenised blends.

Good going Advanced Feed! Supporting Local

🥛🌾 Great Milk Starts Local – Support NZ Grain Growers

👉 True high starch products should test above 55% starch.
⚠️ Many products sold as “high starch” are in fact only ~30% starch – half the value.

At Advanced Feed, we stand for transparency and performance.
Farmers deserve to know exactly what’s going into their cows — and local grain growers deserve recognition for producing genuine, high-quality feed.
Pairing highly soluble pasture protein with locally grown, high-starch grain:
✔️ Boosts microbial protein production
✔️ Drives higher milk yield
✔️ Improves nitrogen efficiency
✅ We back New Zealand grain growers delivering true high-starch products.
✅ We encourage farmers to demand starch test results — not just accept marketing claims.
✅ In conjunction with local growers and dairy farmers, our aim is to build a stronger, more profitable, and locally driven agricultural community.
