WHAT IS ANIPRO?

Anipro Liquid Supplements feature a highly palatable two-part, 'sweet' and 'sour' formulation to provide animals with protein (NPN), essential minerals and vitamins, offering a supplement program with efficient consumption control. Anipro Service Providers work out intake targets based on available forage and status of the animals. They regulate consumption to make sure that animals get the supplemental nutrients they need.

TRAINING & SUPPORT

Anipro Liquid Program is fully serviced by trained distributors who deliver the product directly into the paddock, making sure animals have product available as required. Comprehensive training and support will be provided in all aspects of the business to the new purchaser of the franchise.

Performance Feeds (the producers of Anipro) provide support for advertising, advice on nutrition and a field officer is available to help promote Anipro & advise new clients

DISTRIBUTOR INFORMATION

Ordering the product (liquid supplement) is done through Performance Feeds. It is delivered to the onsite tanks by triaxle trucks from Kingsthorpe west of Brisbane in QLD. These tanks are currently located off Jacks Road in Gloucester and this arrangement could be continued, or the tanks could be relocated to an alternative site.

Anipro is a liquid supplement that comes in a Bitter & Sweet mixture. These two are then mixed according to the cattle requirements and feed available in the paddock to achieve a desired consumption rate. At each property a computer on the vehicle measures the quantity of Anipro distributed to that customer. At the end of each month the distributor sends the consumption dockets for each customer through to Performance Feeds & they invoice the customers.

The distributor is then paid monthly by Performance Feeds for litres distributed. The business has been operating for 22 years and the litres distributed varies from year to year depending on the season. The long-term average is 564,414 litres.

Autumn through to Spring (May-Oct) is the busiest time of year. Outside these times, there is more flexibility with lower demand depending on the summer season.

WHAT IS ANIPRO? ...Some technical information:

Anipro is designed to provide protein (as non-protein nitrogen), minerals and vitamins to stock grazing pasture or crop in a safe and cost-effective manner. Anipro is a molasses based, two-part (sweet/sour) product that is blended in the field by accredited distributors to provide a very high degree of intake consistency formulated to provide a significant cost benefit to producers.

When producing top quality beef products for domestic and export markets, you can't just rely on good seasonal conditions. You need to make the most of what you have - Whether it's fresh or mature forage, conserved fodder or crop. Throughout Australia, paddock forage provides most of the feed available for livestock. For most of the year though, forage is high in fibre and low in protein, and unlikely to meet the animal's total nutritional requirements - particularly during late gestation, lactation and periods of high stress and growth.

By balancing essential nutrients and optimizing rumen function, Anipro Supplements help to maintain consistent growth paths, minimise weight loss and improve both meat and milk production, driving an animal's production to its full potential.

Improve Animal Performance.

Anipro Liquid Supplements stimulate your livestock to eat more forage and digest it more easily.

While Anipro is not an energy supplement, by improving the rumen's ability to digest forage, and by stimulating intake, it enhances the animal's ability to meet its energy requirements from the pasture where plant protein is below animal requirements.

Anipro improves forage intake from 10% to 27% in most pasture conditions.

The RumaPro Advantage

What an animal eats is important, but what happens once inside is even more so. All Anipro Supplements contain RumaPro - a unique, non-protein nitrogen (NPN) ingredient specifically developed to provide a safe, sustained release ammonia source for ruminants.

RumaPro remains available to rumen micro-organisms for up to 12 hours following ingestion. This is up to three times longer than conventional urea.

Urea is used very inefficiently by the rumen. The crude protein obtained from most urea supplements is less than 20% of the potential protein.

Independent university research has shown that cattle fed RumaPro, do not exhibit high rumen or blood urea concentrations which can stimulate many nutritional diseases, especially where the animal has liver damage.

High blood urea can affect embryo development and implantation in the uterine wall, having negative consequences on reproductive rates. RumaPro, because of its sustained degradation rate in the rumen, does not allow blood urea concentrations to negatively impact on reproduction. Instead, because of the increased flow of microbial crude protein from the rumen, RumaPro supports embryo development and enhances reproductive performance.

Consumption Control - Cost Effective Nutrition

To keep producer costs down, appropriate average daily consumption targets are carefully calculated as part of our outstanding delivery service. A number of important variables are considered: age, size and condition of cattle; availability and quality of the forage; management practices employed; type of feeding program and stage within the production cycle.
