By unifeed we mean one innovative food administration technique used in farms.

What is meant by Unifeed

Unifeed derives from unique fed, that is single food and is so called because the ration that is administered to the animal is a mixture of all the foods necessary for the prepared diet.

These food items they are chopped and mixed in such a way that the animal cannot choose what to eat, but is forced to eat everything at the same time.

The mixture that is prepared has a high energy concentration, are foods designed to give livestock a balanced diet that contains all the components necessary to guarantee them the best state of health.

Advantages of the Unifeed technique

In addition to an optimal mixing of the main food components needed, this technique also allows for ruminal optimization, since the PH remains constantly between 5 and 7, favoring better digestion and thus avoiding excesses of negative fermentation, which is harmful to the animal.

One was also noticed lower incidence of bowel and breast diseases, as well as an increase in fertility.

The unifeed method is very suitable for outdoor farms or those that have new self-feeding devices that can balance the ration administered in the feeding trough.

Differences from the traditional method

The traditional method of feeding consisted of give a ration of food two or three times a day, separately rationing the individual components, such as forage and by-products.

This type of diet led to drawbacks: the most affected were mainly lactating females. In fact, the negative digestion was due in particular to food excesses and deficiencies, precisely because the animals sometimes ate too much during a ration or vice versa.

We understand how the new unifeed method has drawn a innovative cycle about the breeding techniques, which therefore aim not only to improve the final products, but also to safeguard even more the well-being and quality of life of the livestock.
