Autumn Gold
Autumn Gold is a high-energy feed bucket for sheep and cattle that complements autumn grazing.
Uniblock Autumn Gold is a high-energy feed bucket specially formulated to complement autumn grazing. Suitable for sheep and cattle, it helps balance the changing nutritional profile of late-season grass and supports continued animal health, performance and productivity.
As summer gives way to autumn, grass may remain plentiful, but its nutritional value begins to decline. Lower sugar levels, rising fibre and increased rumen digestible protein can create imbalances that affect rumen function, forage utilisation and overall animal performance.
Containing more than 32% sugar and delivering almost 18 MJ/kg DM of metabolisable energy, Autumn Gold provides a readily available energy source to complement autumn grass and support efficient rumen fermentation.
• Provides readily available energy during autumn grazing
• Contains more than 32% sugar
• Delivers almost 18 MJ/kg DM of metabolisable energy
• Supports efficient rumen function and fermentation
• Helps livestock utilise autumn forage more effectively
• Supports animal health, performance and productivity
• Suitable for both sheep and cattle
• Helps farmers make the most of cost-effective autumn grazing
• Available in an 18kg bucket
Why supplement autumn grass?
The nutritional profile of grass changes as the season progresses:
• Lower sugar levels reduce the readily available energy supplied by grazing
• Higher rumen digestible protein levels can create an imbalance when insufficient energy is available
• Increasing fibre levels can reduce forage digestibility and nutrient utilisation
Autumn Gold helps bridge this nutritional gap, supporting livestock as pasture quality declines and helping sheep and cattle make the most of every bite.
KEY BENEFITS
- Supports Efficient Rumen Fermentation: The block delivers highly concentrated, readily available energy that helps the rumen adjust to shifting pasture qualities safely.
- Encourages Forage Utilisation: By counteracting the higher fiber and lower sugar profiles of autumn grass, it ensures livestock can digest and extract maximum nutrients from every bite of late-season forage.
- Concentrated Energy Source: Formulated with over 32% sugar and providing nearly 18 MJ/kg DM of metabolisable energy, it directly addresses energy shortages caused by declining pasture sugars.
- Comprehensive Nutrient Profile: It fills nutritional deficits by supplying balanced protein alongside a complete package of trace elements and minerals vital for late-season health.
- Sustains Productivity: Supplementation counteracts the weight loss or poor thrive that usually occurs as pasture value declines, keeping sheep and cattle performing steadily.
- Extends the Grazing Season: Because autumn grazing is highly cost-effective, using Autumn Gold allows farmers to safely maximise their time on pasture while maintaining animal vitality and health into the late season.
