Kerry Agribusiness offers a broad range of high-quality ruminant feeds through the Bloom Feeds brand, supporting our grass-based milk production system. We provide tailored feeds for dairy, beef, youngstock, and sheep, meeting diverse customer needs. Our advanced feed mill in Farranfore, Co. Kerry, produces 5mm pellets, coarse blends, and custom mixes, available in bulk or 25kg bags across our store network for customer convenience and quality assurance.
Our innovative approach integrates the latest in animal nutrition to promote health and welfare, using quality ingredients backed by scientific research. We ensure complete traceability and food safety by sourcing from trusted partners and approved suppliers.
Careful selection of the correct dairy diet is fundamental in optimising milk production. It must consider the genetic merit of the herd, forage quality, and seasonality of milk production.
With this in mind, Bloom dairy feeds are formulated using specifically chosen quality ingredients. These ingredients produce nutritionally balanced feeds that promote milk production, improve fertility, and maintain animal health.
Each of these factors is crucial for cow performance. The right diet can make a significant difference in the overall productivity and health of the herd.
Our approach ensures that dairy farmers can rely on Bloom feeds to support their cows’ needs throughout the year. By using top-quality ingredients and focusing on essential nutritional requirements, we help farmers achieve optimal results.
Bloom beef feeds are designed for growing and finishing animals. They improve feed efficiency, promote consistent high performance, and secure high levels of daily liveweight gain. This is achieved whether the animals are on low protein forages or high-quality silage.
A range of beef diets is available to suit all stages of production. Each feed is formulated with quality ingredients, incorporating high levels of cereals and quality protein sources.
These feeds provide all the nutrients required for maximum performance. Our focus on quality ingredients ensures that animals receive the best possible nutrition.
By offering tailored diets for every stage of production, Bloom beef feeds helps farmers achieve the best results from their herds.
The early stages of an animal’s life has a huge impact on its health, growth, and production potential in later life. Bloom Calf Feeds are designed to provide young animals with the very best start in life.
These feeds are formulated with high starch levels to deliver specific nutrients that promote the early development of the rumen. This ensures that calves achieve their target growth rates.
By focusing on the critical early stages, Bloom Calf Feeds support optimal development. Our quality ingredients and balanced formulations help young animals reach their full potential, ensuring long-term performance and health.
Maximising flock performance depends on achieving the correct nutritional status of the ewes. Feeding pregnant ewes with satisfactory nutrition is vital to meet their peak milk supply needs.
All our ewe and lamb feeds are formulated to provide the correct levels of energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins. This optimises ewe performance and milk yield while boosting lamb growth rates and sheep health.
Our carefully balanced formulations ensure that ewes receive the essential nutrients they need during pregnancy. This support translates into healthier lambs and improved overall flock performance.
