Rumenation for healthy productive and profitable solutions

Rumenation Ltd – Independent Dairy & Beef Nutrition and Management Consultancy

Rumenation Nutrition Consultancy is a truly independent, farm focussed advisory business

Coming from a livestock farming background and following studies at Harper Adams University where I completed a B.Sc.(Hons) degree in Agriculture specialising in ruminant livestock production, I decided to pursue a career in livestock nutrition. Initially working in the compound feed industry as a cattle specialist, and then supporting mixer wagon users in both the UK, Ireland, with secondments to New Zealand, Chile, and France.

The decision was made in 1997 to form Profeed Nutrition Consultancy as a truly independent, farm focussed advisory business. Rumenation now works with progressive dairy units totalling over 14,000 cows, as well as a number of medium and large scale beef units. In addition to the core farm consultancy, Rumenation also delivers project and training work for commercial companies in the feed & forage equipment machinery, pharmaceutical, feed, forage and veterinary sectors, as well as industry bodies.

Key areas of expertise and interest include:

Total Mixed Ration Feeding.
Optimising metabolic health through nutrition
Forage production and management.
Alternative forages and crop preservation methods
Co-product feeds.
Dry and transition cow nutrition and management.
Youngstock nutrition and management.
Dairy unit feeding audits & troubleshooting
