Feeds

The market for this division consists primarily of the 14,000 U.K. dairy farmers who have invested in continuing to supply a large part of the nation's need for milk and milk products. Despite decades of restructuring among milk producers, the demand for manufactured dairy feeds, compounds and blends remains largely constant at around 3 million tonnes per annum.

NWF Agriculture represents the original business of the Group and has grown to become a leading national manufacturer of animal feeds, mainly for dairy cattle throughout the livestock farming areas of Western Britain from Argyll to Cornwall.

The core activities are the manufacture of around 330,000 tonnes per annum of compound animal feeds in mills at Wardle in Cheshire and Wixland in Devon, with the Wardle flagship plant being the largest of its kind in the country. In addition we produce 130,000 tonnes per annum of blended feeds from plants in Ayr, Penrith and Wardle. NWF's market share has grown dramatically in the last decade to around 14% today. The feed mills have been continuously updated to the highest standards of quality, efficiency, compliance and traceability. Around 6,000 tonnes per annum of specialised and bagged compounds are outsourced in addition to the manufactured volume.

NWF Agriculture also markets further ranges of feeds, seeds, fats and silage additives to farmers via the Trading Desk. The extensive field staff, which have access to the latest technology, can advise farmers on milk and meat production and on the optimal balance of choices for their farm enterprise.

NWF Agriculture Ltd has its own web presence at www.nwfagriculture.co.uk
