Proper feeding is the key to the efficiency of a household farm

In these challenging times, a household farm often provides many people with the only opportunity to make ends meet. However, very often owners are dissatisfied with the results of their daily hard and demanding work. Situations where a cow produces ridiculously low milk yields, a piglet takes a year or more to reach 100 kg, and a dozen chickens “please” with only 2–3 eggs per day are familiar to many. Yet not many of us think about the real reason for such disappointing outcomes. And the reason is that we do not know how to properly feed livestock.

Today, it is no longer possible to feed poultry and animals using old “grandfather’s” methods, as many things have changed in recent years: crosses and breeds (genetics), feed, ecology, and much more. Young stock or hatching eggs are imported from various countries, and along with them, unfortunately, new diseases and new problems also arrive. Therefore, the approach must be different as well.

If you want to increase the efficiency of your household farm, we recommend using ready-made compound feeds or protein–vitamin–mineral supplements (PVMS), which can be added to crushed grain (wheat, corn, barley, oilcake). For a chick, piglet, calf, or rabbit to grow properly, they must receive all the necessary vitamins, micro- and macroelements, protein, and essential amino acids. In addition, to improve digestion and nutrient absorption, enzymes should be included in the diet; to help the body fight pathogenic bacteria—acidifiers; to combat mycotoxins (which are almost always present in grain crops)—sorbents, and so on. After all, no one is frightened when a doctor prescribes a vitamin complex to a person, or activated charcoal and other toxin absorbers in cases of intoxication. Our “younger brothers” cannot say what hurts, so we must take care of their health—or better yet, prevent various problems in advance.

In the city of Sumy, the enterprise “Astarta” operates, where the production of high-quality complete compound feeds, protein–vitamin–mineral supplements for pigs and cattle, and whole milk replacers under the “Laktofit” trademark for calves and piglets is organized. Compound feeds ensure high productivity, maintain animal and poultry health, and enable the production of high-quality products at low feed costs. High feed quality is achieved through the use of quality raw materials, experienced specialists, and modern equipment that allows for precise dosing and thorough mixing of ingredients.

We offer complete pelleted compound feeds for poultry of various ages (laying hens, broilers, ducks, geese, quail, turkeys), pigs, rabbits, starter feeds for calves and piglets, and concentrates for pigs and cattle of different ages.

Whole milk replacers (WMR) “Laktofit™” produced by the enterprise are not only comparable to imported analogues but, by several indicators, even surpass them. The price of products manufactured by LLC “Astarta” is quite affordable, as production mainly uses domestic raw materials.

All products of the enterprise contain no hormones or artificial growth stimulators.
