UFAC UK | Transforming Animal Health & Agriculture Sustainably
@ufacuk.bsky.social
Combining scientific research, technology and our years of farming expertise to create animal feed supplements designed to increase productivity and profitability while reducing the impact farming agriculture has on the environment.
Feed choices have a major impact on both profit and carbon footprint. University of Nottingham research shows switching from palm based calcium soap to Envirolac can cut emissions while increasing milk yield and butterfat. Sustainability works best when it also supports production. #SustainableDairy

Mycotoxins place a hidden tax on poultry production. They quietly reduce feed efficiency, growth and egg performance, often mistaken for management or genetics. Managing mycotoxin risk helps birds perform to potential and protects margins when input costs are high.

When feed costs rise it can be tempting to push starch, but that risks acidosis and uneven performance. Improving energy balance, not quantity, is more sustainable. Rumen inert fats supply safe energy, support faster finishing and help reduce days to slaughter.

In tough markets it is tempting to cut inputs but cutting the wrong one can cost more in lost yield than it saves. Research shows improving feed efficiency can lift milk yield & butterfat with no increase in intakes. Efficiency beats blanket cost-cutting. #DairyNutrition #FeedEfficiency #MilkMargins

UK poultry producers face tighter margins, variable raw materials and increasing health pressure. Mycotoxins are often an unseen risk, quietly reducing performance and consistency even when ingredients look sound. Managing them is about protecting efficiency, bird health & returns #PoultryNutrition

Two cattle can eat the same ration but grow at very different rates. The difference is feed conversion efficiency. Improving energy density and nutrient balance helps cattle get more gain from the same inputs. #BeefFarming #FeedEfficiency #BeefProduction #LivestockNutrition

UK milk prices are under pressure and margins are tightening. When income drops, focus has to shift to what you can control on farm. Feed is the biggest variable cost, so improving feed efficiency is one of the quickest ways to protect margins. #DairyFarming #MilkPrices

Palm oil has long been used in dairy fat supplements, but concerns around its carbon footprint and deforestation risks are growing. The good news? Palm-free feeding is now a practical, proven alternative. #SustainableDairy #PalmFree #DairyEfficiency #Envirolac

Envirolac also carries a 60% lower carbon footprint than traditional calcium soap and has been shown to reduce the overall carbon footprint of milk production by 11% per litre. https://www.ufacuk.com/products/envirolac/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=envirolac&utm_content=301025

Unlike many health threats, mycotoxins are always present. Ongoing protection is therefore essential for consistent performance.

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic substances produced by certain species of fungi as a defence mechanism under stress conditions. While their presence is not always visible in feed, their impact on livestock health and farm profitability is undeniable. How are you protecting your herd?
