The merger of two of the country’s largest animal nutrition companies won’t lessen competition, the Commerce Commission has ruled.

Rural trader Farmlands has completed the final hurdle to purchase animal nutrition business Seales Winslow.

SealesWinslow says it has launched an easy-to-use digital decision- making tool that is helping dairy farmers take the guess work out of feeding their herds and use their supplements more efficiently to maximise returns.

The anticipated El Niño summer is expected to heighten the risk of facial eczema (FE) and SealesWinslow consultant Nutritionist Paul Sharp says getting a preventative plan ready now will help protect animal health and bottom lines.

As a dry summer looms, dairy farmers need a plan for their herds’ nutrition now to keep their cows in milk, protect their cashflow and secure long term business profitability.

Farmlands has made an offer to purchase SealesWinslow – an animal nutrition business currently owned by Ballance Agri-Nutrients (Ballance).

Animal nutrition company SealesWinslow could soon be part of rural service provider, Farmlands.

While most dairy farmers are heading into spring calving with lush grass cover, cows may need more starch and energy to compensate for pasture deficiencies this season.

More than one million calf feed bags each year could be saved from landfill as SealesWinslow becomes one of the first animal nutrition companies in New Zealand to join Agrecovery.

When dealing with calf feed products it is important to read the labels, go online or ask your supplier for instructions and information, says Natalie Hughes, nutrition and quality manager at SealesWinslow.
