Technical Expertise

Designing bespoke diets to maximise animal nutrition

Advances in Science and our ever increasing detailed understanding of animal nutrition means that animal feed has become even more specific and targeted. As well as a comprehensive range of compound feeds HJ Lea offers a fully bespoke blending plant where our Nutritional Team can design an individual diet depending on the customer requirements. Whilst modern nutrition is highly technical we believe that on farm application should be as simple as possible and believe that high quality products always prove to be the best value. On top of our products there are a number of other services that HJ Lea offer to assist you and your business. We also hold regular regional meetings to share the latest industry thinking around animal nutrition, details are available on our news pages.

We offer a full forage sampling service for Grass Silage, Maize Silage, Wholecrop and Fresh Grass, we understand the importance of analysing the feed available on farm.

MANAGEMENT
We work alongside Premier Nutrition and together offer a Transition Management System (TMS) to our dairy customers. TMS is a monitoring system which assesses how cows pass through the transition period – 30 days pre-calving to 30 days post-calving. It is a critical tool to help farmers and nutritionists pinpoint areas of management and nutrition that can be improved to see better transition performance.
