Seasonal Specials

At Crecora Mills, we understand that Irish farming doesn’t always go to plan.
Weather patterns, poor summers, and short growing seasons can quickly lead to fodder shortages and inconsistent silage quality.

That’s why we’ve developed a range of Seasonal Special feeds designed to:

  • Stretch limited fodder supplies

  • Improve poor-quality silage diets

  • Protect animal performance and health over winter

These products are about making the best of what you have, without compromising nutrition.

Fodder Stretch

Fodder Stretch is designed for farms with good-quality silage, but not enough of it.

By feeding 1 kg of Fodder Stretch, you can replace up to 5 kg of silage, helping to significantly extend fodder reserves through the winter.

Available as a coarse ration in bulk, Fodder Stretch is usually formulated using quality ingredients:

  • Soya hulls

  • Beet pulp

  • Maize

  • Barley

  • Molasses

  • Added minerals

Benefits of Fodder Stretch

  • Consistent feed quality, unlike variable baled silage

  • Ordered and delivered as needed — no storage issues

  • No handling bales in poor weather or dark evenings

  • Improves cash flow by avoiding large upfront silage purchases

  • Includes minerals to support animal health and nutrition

A practical, proven solution when fodder supplies are tight.

Silage Enhancer

Silage Enhancer is designed for situations where silage is low in Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD) and failing to meet animal energy and protein requirements.

Low DMD silage can result in:

  • Poor thrive

  • Loss of condition

  • Reduced milk or liveweight gain

Silage Enhancer is formulated to lift the overall quality of the diet, supplying digestible protein and energy at good value.

At 19% protein, it usually contains:

  • Barley

  • Maize

  • Soya hulls

  • Distillers

  • Soya

Benefits of Silage Enhancer

  • Cost-effective source of digestible protein

  • Consistent feed throughout the winter

  • Balanced ration for cattle on poor or stemmy silage

  • Provides essential minerals for health and performance

  • Allows poorer silage to be used more effectively

  • Purchased as needed — no storage or spoilage concerns

  • Supports cash flow through smaller, regular purchases

Ideal for both beef and dairy systems dealing with sub-optimal forage.
