UFAC UK | Transforming Animal Health & Agriculture Sustainably

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

AgriScot is a great chance to catch up with Scottish dairy and beef farmers, nutritionists and feed partners. Andrew Pine will be there for UFAC. Looking forward to seeing you at the event.

It is with great sadness we share that David Turnbull, our National Sales Manager, passed away suddenly at home on Friday 7 November. All of us at UFAC and across the industry are deeply shocked. Our thoughts are with his wife, family and loved ones at this difficult time. Memorial details to follow

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.

Crop management and good storage reduce the risk of mycotoxins, but complete prevention is not possible. Including a mycotoxin binder can help: https://www.ufacuk.com/news/understanding-mycotoxins-in-livestock-nutrition/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=seasonal&utm_content=231025

“For us, Envirolac made such a big difference to milk yield that we couldn’t afford not to feed it. We’ve never switched back to calcium soap.”
- Rob Higgins, Bentley Ford Farm

Ready to make the switch?

We’re heading to the Welsh Dairy Show on 28th October to catch up with farmers, nutritionists and industry colleagues from across Wales and the South West.

The UFAC team will be walking the showground throughout the day - so if you spot us, do come and say hello!

Understanding Mycotoxins in Livestock Nutrition | UFAC UK Mycotoxins are unavoidable contaminants in feed that reduce performance and animal health. This article explains how they develop, their effects, and how UFAC's Mycotrap offers proven protection, backed by the University of Ghent.

Aflatoxins, DON, zearalenone, fumonisins, ochratoxins, ergot alkaloids are the mycotoxins that matter most in livestock nutrition - learn more https://www.ufacuk.com/news/understanding-mycotoxins-in-livestock-nutrition/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=seasonal&utm_content=191025

During trials, Rob Higgins of Bentley Ford Farm saw nearly a 2-litre increase per cow when feeding Envirolac. He’s continued using it ever since, never returning to calcium soap. https://www.ufacuk.com/products/envirolac/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=envirolac&utm_content=151025

Another happy customer! Fully loaded and ready to roll from UFAC’s mill in Oakham, this lorry is on its way with high-quality supplements for farmers across the UK - supporting performance, productivity and sustainability on farms nationwide.

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?

Omega-3 fatty acids play a direct role in improving fertility in dairy cows, influencing hormone balance and embryo development. https://www.ufacuk.com/tech-resources/omega-3-fatty-acids-in-animal-nutrition/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=omega3&utm_content=071025

Traditional calcium soap: 2.8 kg CO₂ per kg of product
Envirolac: 1.0 kg CO₂ per kg of product

Robert & Richard Jones represented UFAC at the Bury St Edmunds performance of Penned Up, a play we proudly sponsored.

Written by Danusia Iwaszko, it’s witty, raw & thought-provoking.

It was a privilege to meet the playwright, cast & Suffolk’s Police Commissioner Tim Passmore.
