Dairy feeding solutions for different stages of production
Lactating dairy cows
Dairy Performa lactation feeds are designed to complement pasture, silage, hay and other forage sources while supplying additional energy, protein, minerals and vitamins.
Products are available across a range of protein levels and feeding formats to suit different milk-production targets, pasture conditions, home-grown feeds and feeding systems.

Dairy Performa Pellets and Grain Mixes
Dairy Performa feeds are available as pellets and grain mixes formulated to provide consistent energy, protein and mineral supplementation.
Pellets can provide a convenient and uniform feeding option, while grain mixes allow a combination of processed cereal grains, legumes, protein meals and other ingredients to be supplied in a complementary feed.
Different formulations are available to suit feeding rate, target protein level and available forage.
High-Protein Concentrates (HPCs)
Dairy Performa concentrates are designed for mixing with cereal grains and other suitable ingredients on farm.
They provide a practical option for dairy businesses that grow or purchase their own wheat, barley, maize or other grains but require additional protein, minerals, vitamins and selected additives to complete the supplementary feed.
The appropriate concentrate and inclusion rate will depend on the grain being used, pasture and forage quality, milk-production targets and the total feeding system.

Transition feeding
The three weeks before calving are a critical period for dairy cow health, feed intake and subsequent lactation performance.
Dairy Performa Transition is designed for producers seeking a comprehensive transition-feeding program to prepare cows for calving and the start of lactation.
A well-managed transition diet may help support:
-
Dry matter intake
-
Calcium metabolism
-
Rumen adaptation
-
Immune function
-
Cow health around calving
-
Early-lactation performance
Transition programs should be developed around the complete diet, including forage mineral levels, dietary cation-anion difference, feeding rate and the expected post-calving ration.
Dairy Performa Lead Feed and Dairy Performa Transition provide practical pre-calving feeding options for cows during the final weeks before calving.
Lead feeding helps introduce cows to concentrate before calving and provides additional energy, protein, minerals and vitamins during a period when nutrient demand is increasing.
Dairy Performa Lead Feed is the standard pre-calving option, while Dairy Performa Transition is intended for producers seeking a more comprehensive transition-feeding program.

Dairy Performa Calf Feeds
Dairy Performa Calf Feeds are designed to support early intake, rumen development, growth and the transition from milk to solid feed.
The range includes products for young calves, pre-weaning calves, weaned calves and growing replacement heifers or dairy-beef calves.
Products include:
Calf feeds and calf-rearing programs
Dairy Performa Calf 20 and Dairy Performa Calf 16 products also available
The most suitable product will depend on calf age, liveweight, milk-feeding system, forage availability, weaning target and intended production pathway.
Dairy Calf-Rearing Program
The Dairy Performa Calf Rearing Program provides a staged approach to feeding calves through the milk-feeding, pre-weaning and post-weaning periods.
A structured program can help producers:
-
Encourage early solid-feed intake
-
Support rumen development
-
Achieve consistent growth
-
Set practical weaning targets
-
Reduce setbacks during feed changes

Prepare replacement heifers for later development
