Riverina x ProAgni - Antibiotic Free Supplements & Feed

Posted May 4, 2021
 

Riverina announced their partnership with ProAgni® in 2020, joining forces with an Australian agriculture biotech business.

ProAgni® specialises in producing antibiotic-free and methane-reducing livestock feeds and supplements Australia-wide.

National Australian Small Business Champion Award winners, ProAgni, have made significant leaps in the design, research and development of Australia’s first antibiotic and ionophore-free ruminant feeds and supplements. These feed formulations promote animal health while allowing producers to rely less on antibiotics and growth promoters, as well as utilising feed more efficiently.

Riverina customers may benefit greatly from ProAgni’s successfully trialled and tested products, proven to improve animal performance by 20%+ through better feed conversion - an improvement which increases profitability. Riverina and ProAgni are excited to offer customers a range of products designed to optimise livestock performance.

Protect C is a pellet-style feed which works with cereal grain to provide cattle essential nutrients free of antibiotics, including ionophores. Protect S is specifically formulated for sheep, and both products are available as a finished feed or a concentrated version. These feeds aim to increase growth rates and decrease time required to reach market specifications.
