Specifically formulated to give lambs an easy start. by providing instant energy in the form of carbohydrates which, unlike most fats, are easily converted into glucose and energy.

Since it's launch, the Farmer's Choice range of nutritional products has quickly become one of the most popular products on the market and here's why . . . . . . .

Farmer's Choice has been developed by farmers for farmers, and has been trialled on farms across the UK for the past year. The feedback from those trials has been overwhelmingly positive:

Alan Thwaite from Crake Moor Farm, Skipton in North Yorkshire held one of the on-farm trials and he used both the Farmer's Choice Lamb and Calf Colostrum.

"All of the calves and lambs that received the colostrum went on really well. Compared to other products that I have tried and tested before, I found the Farmer's Choice Colostrums to be the easiest to mix. I will certainly be buying some more," says Mr Thwaite.

Tony Slinger of Cox Agri explains that that its no surprise farmers are finding the products perform. "In putting this range of nutritional products together, we've focussed on marrying the latest science and nutritional research with practical on-farm experience."

Taking the colostrums products as an example, Mr Slinger adds, "we know that as well as providing energy through carbohydrates and other essential nutrients, Farmer's Choice Colostrum plays another major role - it supports an active immunity, helping to fight off disease."

Farmer's Choice Colostrum contains natural nucleotides and, using breakthrough technology, it draws on advances in human baby nutrition. "Nucleotides are the building blocks of all new cells, and are essential to the creation of DNA and RNA. Scientists now know that supplementary nucleotides offer additional support to the immune system and gut function," explains Mr Slinger.

The Farmer's Choice range already includes another essential farm aid; Farmer's Choice Twin Lamb Solution - a fast acting, energy rich, liquid feed with vitamins and trace elements for ewes carrying multiple lambs. It contains rapidly absorbed bio-available energy to ensure ewes receive the essential nutritious intake of energy, vitamins, chelated trace elements and amino acids at times of difficult environmental challenge, recovery from injury and during late pregnancy.
