Lifestock Feeds
Loughrans Stores provide our valued farming customers with a broad range of high quality feeds proven to deliver better animal performance.
We know that for barley, wheat or oats to roll properly, and to feed well, the correct moisture content, KPH, Protien content and 1,000 grain weight are crucial. Thats why, during harvest, the grains that best meet these parameters are selected from our larger grain intake and stored in temperature controlled conditions to minimise mycotoxins and preserve feeding quality. Our grains are rolled fresh, to order, and thoroughly to ensure maximum digestibility and shelf life.
To enhance the feeding characteristics of these grains we offer our customers an Alka Grain solution. This treatment increases the pH of the grain, allowing higher quantities to be fed to ruminants with less risk of acidosis , while also increasing the protein content by 30%, reducing the need for other high cost sources of protein. Alka Grain treated barley and wheat are available year round and specialist advice on how to get the best from these ingredients is freely available
We also understand that other sources of energy, fibre and protien as well as minerals are vital for healthy animal performance. To that end we offer our customers a range of selected high quality ingredients, chosen for the ability to deliver what’s best for the animal. This includes:
Maize / Milled Maize: Maize is a great source of energy in a diet but needs to be properly managed to avoid the risk of acidosis. Best performance comes when maize is milled, and at Loughran Stores we achieve this through a finely calibrated hammer mill producing a very fine particle size, ensuring maximum digestion
Soya Hulls: An excellent source of digestible fibre
Soya Meal: The best source of digestible Protien, Loughran’s Stores Soya Meal is always at least 44% Protien
Other straights available upon request include:
- Corn Distillers
- Corn Gluten
- Citrus Pulp
- Beet Pulp
