Loads
The good health of mother and calf are essential for a successful dairy farm. With a specialised blend of ingredients, Reid Stockfeeds’ Springer 16 mix is formulated specially for dairy cows in the last three weeks of pregnancy.
The cereal grains, protein sources, trace minerals and anionic salts in this feed combine to result in less complicated births and a healthier post-delivery period.
Springer 16 optimises pre- and post-calving dry matter intake (DMI) and boosts milk production. It enhances cow health by increasing post-calving activity and in-calf rates, improving lactation performance, and reducing the risk of common health issues like milk fever and mastitis through low DCAD levels.
Performance
Enhances dry matter intake and milk production in dairy cows during the critical pre- and post-calving period, ensuring optimal health and productivity.
Convenient
Streamlines feeding routines with a specialised mix designed for easy incorporation into the last three weeks of pregnancy regimen for dairy cows.
Consistent
Provides reliable nutrition to support smooth calving processes, reduce complications, and promote healthier post-delivery outcomes for both cow and calf.
Palatable
Offers a palatable blend of cereal grains, protein sources, and minerals, encouraging consistent consumption and ensuring the well-being of mother and calf.
Follow these instructions for the best health during the final stages of pregnancy:
- Feed Reid Stockfeeds Springer 16 for a minimum of 21 days prior to calving.
- Feed Springer 16 at a rate of 3kg per cow per day with ad lib access to good quality cereal or pasture hay, and a small amount of pasture (if available).
- Keep Springer 16 as fresh as possible to reduce the chance of it becoming stale or contaminated.
- Cows and heifers should have constant access to fresh, clean water. This can aid in increasing dry matter intake of all feeds.
- After calving, remove Springer 16 from the diet and feed a fresh cow ration specifically customised by a Reid Stockfeeds nutritionist.

Store in a vermin free, cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. Best within 6 months of manufacture date.
