Whether you’re a commercial sheep farmer in the Northern Cape or managing a mixed farming operation in the Eastern Free State, there’s one thing you know for sure: in South Africa, the quality of your grazing conditions determines the performance you’ll achieve with your livestock. That’s exactly where Feedtek makes the difference.
As a leading provider of animal feed solutions, Feedtek not only offers scientifically formulated supplements for every season and stage of production, but also product options adaptable for organic farming. They focus on practical, cost-effective solutions that work at ground level, especially when pastures are dry or poor in quality.
Here’s an overview of Feedtek’s most successful products for the current season:
Veld Grazer 128 & 154: Effective protein licks for dry pasture
The Veld Grazer range is ideal for use on dry or autumn pastures where energy is available, but protein is a limiting factor. These urea-based licks stimulate rumen activity and increase digestibility of forage material, directly contributing to better intake and thus better condition of your animals.
Veld Grazer 128 is a high-value lick supplement for cattle and sheep farmers looking to make the most of what the pasture offers.
Veld Grazer 154 contains a slightly higher urea level and is suited for more experienced users or where pasture protein levels are particularly low.
Both products are easy to handle, highly palatable, and designed for minimal wastage, ensuring maximum efficiency.
Ecovite Dripro 64: A smart, molasses powder-based winter lick
This new addition to the Feedtek lineup is already gaining popularity among farmers seeking a winter lick that provides energy support and is easy to manage.
Ecovite Dripro 64 is a molasses powder-based product with a high level of palatability, making it ideal for the cold months when animals increase feed intake to meet their higher maintenance needs for staying warm. However, feed intake often drops when pasture quality is poor, which can lead to a decline in animal condition. This product is designed for dry, poor-quality grazing and can be offered in lick troughs.
The practical advantage? Consistent intake with minimal labour input, keeping your animals healthy, active, and on weight during the toughest season of the year.
Econo Grazer 213: Economical protein supplement for dry pasture
When every rand counts, Econo Grazer 213 is an excellent choice for farmers looking for a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. This lick provides non-protein nitrogen, minerals, and a moderate energy level for livestock on low-nutrition pasture.
It’s a great choice for expanding herds, communal farming, or large herds where lick supplementation costs can quickly add up. Feedtek’s smart formulation helps keep your herd healthy without breaking your profit margins.
Veldfos 90: For farmers who prefer a balanced approach
Not all pastures require high urea levels. Veldfos 90 is a protein and phosphate supplement with a moderate urea content, tailored for grazing areas that already contain some crude protein but are deficient in minerals.
It’s also the perfect product for young animals, organic systems, or farmers who prefer a more conservative feeding approach without sacrificing productivity.
Veld Gainer 95: Boost growth on pasture
If you want accelerated growth in young cattle and sheep on natural grazing, Veld Gainer 95 offers a strategic advantage. This product is designed to supplement natural forage and promote muscle growth, perfect for finishing animals on pasture without transitioning to intensive systems.
Animals on Veld Gainer 95 show improved growth, better condition, and higher market value while making the most of natural resources.
Beef Gainer 110 and Mutton Gainer 125: Concentrated feeds for sustainable production
For livestock farmers who want to mix their own complete rations, Feedtek offers two specialist concentrates:
Beef Gainer 110 is high-performance cattle concentrate for maintenance, production, or finishing.
Mutton Gainer 125 is specifically developed for mixing power feed and total mixed rations for sheep and goats, tailored to their unique nutritional needs.
Both concentrates are designed to be mixed with locally available ingredients, allowing you to control your costs while optimising nutrition. These solutions are ideal for feedlots or finishing projects ahead of auctions or sales.
