WES Feeds Volvoer – a complete cattle finisher feed.

Maintaining the body condition of cattle is a vitally important responsibility for farmers, as this will have a direct impact on your herd’s performance. WES Feeds Volvoer is a specifically formulated farm feed which ensures your breeding herd is kept in top condition, your show cattle are polished and show-ready or your feedlot cattle are fattened and ready for slaughter.

Volvoer can be fed as a maintenance feed to improve your herd’s condition during and after the breeding season. Maintaining your breeding cows condition has many benefits i.e. reduced inter calving periods, ability to raise a strong calf and higher weaning weights. It is also beneficial for cows who may have dropped condition post weaning. Stud breeders and show cattle can be fed Volvoer on an ad lib basis in order to get them show ready. Due to the high fibre content contained in Volvoer, your cattle can easily be reintroduced into the veld or natural pastures. Volvoer can be fed as a feedlot ratio where an average daily gain 1.6 – 2.2kgs can be expected.

WES Feeds Volvoer is manufactured with the highest quality raw materials, with a focus on quality fibres such as eragrostis and lucerne for long fibre and acacia for polygonal fibre and pre-biotics, thus helping to maintain healthy gut microbial bacteria. A healthy gut will in turn ensure that optimal weight gain is achieved.
