Basalt Grazing Pty Ltd uses Maxi Weaner for calves straight off their mothers. The young cattle take to the feed quickly, helping maintain their weight during the weaning process. The team is very happy with the product and committed to continuing its use.
We’ve been using Maxi Weaner for three years, and the improvement in our livestock’s condition is clear. The feed is consistently high quality and has proven to be a solid investment. Our weaners gain weight, develop their rumen effectively, and grow into heavier, more marketable animals sooner. Feeding throughout the year maintains a strong nutritional plane, delivering better long term results. The feed is always readily available, and the Maxi Grain team are great to work with. We will continue to recommend them and their products to other producers.
We have been feeding our cattle Maxi Weaner from Maxwelton Feed & Grain for several seasons and have noticed a remarkable improvement in stock health and condition. The product is clean, fresh, and highly palatable, which encourages even our pickiest eaters to consume it readily. As a result, we've seen better weight gains throughout our herd. We highly recommend this product to ensure your cattle receive the best possible nutrition, especially during critical periods such as weaning.
Practical nutrition designed to grow healthier animals and stronger output over time
A weaner will typically consume 2–3% of its body weight per day. For example, a 100 kg weaner will eat approximately 2–3 kg of feed daily.
When introducing feed to young cattle, ensure that 60–70% of the diet consists of hay or good quality pasture and 30 40% of grain. The grain proportion can be progressively increased over time to support improved weight gain.
Feed Maxi Calf up to 120 kg, then transition to Maxi Weaner until 180 kg, followed by Maxi Grower to achieve the desired outcome. As a guide, a 100 kg calf will typically require around 4 weeks on Maxi Calf before moving onto Maxi Weaner.
Ensure animals have equal access to feed by providing adequate trough space for the entire herd when feeding daily. If feeding less frequently, use feed bins with controlled access or mechanical restrictions to regulate intake. Where possible, draft animals by weight and manage them in separate groups to minimise competition and bullying.
Yes. The inclusion of monensin helps control coccidiosis. It is important to ensure cattle consume their full daily ration so the effective dosage of monensin is achieved.
No. All Maxi stockfeed products contain monensin, which is toxic to horses and must not be fed to them
