PRECISION NUTRITION

Precision nutrition strategy

Precision nutrition for scientifically formulated farm feeds and supplements

The Connolly’s RED MILLS team practices a ‘precision nutrition’ strategy to formulate the most scientifically advanced farm animal feeds with key functional ingredients that boost animal well-being and performance, supporting yield targets for growers on the farm, at the factory, and at shows. Our feeds are produced using the widest collection of quality raw ingredients for the best microbiome composition and ruminant digestibility, and are free of any fillers as part of our steadfast commitment to producing a superior nutritional offering for animals.

Our 5-stage process is applied to our advanced range of animal feeds and supplements, delivering optimal bioavailability and nutrition in a highly digestible feed or mineral formulation. We are dedicated to fuelling your farming success with the best quality farm feed or mineral for your dairy, beef, sheep, poultry, or pedigree farm animal.

    We test and screen our raw materials carefully to meet our exacting standards. This ensures our farm animal feeds are produced using the freshest key functional ingredients and minerals, and formulated precisely for beef, dairy or pedigree animal breeds and their specific lifestage needs. Premium-quality wholegrain carbohydrates and proteins are utilised in each formulation, with carbohydrates being a key source of energy. Natural sources of protein, like oats, barley, maize and wheat, provide a variety of amino acids when supplemented with soya to support the growth, reproduction and well-being requirements of farm animals.

    Natural ingredients and materials

    Our highly experienced agronomists work closely with local farmers, as well as international grain producers to grow and harvest the finest raw materials and ingredients, including wheat, oats and barley. We source some of our raw materials from only the most trusted global ingredient suppliers. However, more than 40% to 50% of our products are grown locally within the South-East of Ireland. Connolly’s RED MILLS is very fortunate to have some of the best grain producers in the world providing us with premium-quality oats, barley and wheat.

    Advanced cooking technology

    We utilise the most unique and advanced cooking processes, including double pelleting, extrusion and steam cooking technology to optimise digestibility, nutrient bioavailablity and formulations, supporting optimal ruminant digestion and well-being.

  • Progest premix technology

    Progest premix technology plays a vital role in the five-stage precision nutrition process, meticulously developed by the Connolly’s RED MILLS technical team.

    Our RED MILLS Pro Balance vitamin and mineral package is scientifically crafted to include vitamins, minerals and electrolytes that are carefully balanced to optimise absorption and the nutritional requirements of your farm animal.

    Consistent nutritional composition is crucial for the well-being and performance of farm animals to support your targeted yields for growth, reproduction and shows. The RED MILLS Pro Balance package provides this consistency, enabling farmers to balance against forage and fodder for a balanced diet. As needed concentrates, dairy or beef feeds can be added to suit your feeding programme or seasonal needs, such as buffer feeding dairy herd in Autumn or finishing beef cattle ahead of slaughter.

    Premixes comprise vitamins, minerals and functional ingredients. While they may make up a small portion of the finished animal feed, they are crucial and tailored to the specific animal class and type for supporting the highest levels of health and well-being.

  • Leading the way in vitamin and mineral premixes

    Connolly’s RED MILLS is proud to be among the few feed companies producing its own vitamin and mineral premixes at our bespoke, state-of-the-art facility in Goresbridge, Ireland. This control allows us to rigorously test and analyse our custom blends before and after production, ensuring the final feeds meet nutritional standards, and that beneficial ingredients remain effective throughout their shelf life.

    All our unique blends are produced following comprehensive research and are scientifically balanced to maximise their absorption and function within your animal’s body.

Our Nutritional Services:

**Terms and Conditions apply

  • Forage analysis

    We analyse forage quality to learn about the nutritional attributes of the forage and also identify deficiencies in key minerals which, need to be addressed to balance the diet. Our agronomists use the forage quality information to guide and advise farmers on the need for reseeding or overseeding for better grazing, hay or silage and also to address deficiencies in the soil and develop nutrient plans.

    Soil and pasture analysis

    Supported by our agronomists, we conduct detailed soil and pasture testing to analyse nutrient and mineral levels such as potassium and phosphorus, which are key for animal health, offering expert advice on the best soil pH levels for growth and the best grassland management, including reseeding/overseeding, nutrient plans, and plant protection programmes.
