Meet Tryconnell. We call him Smooch. At the tender age of 19 he came to us in fairly skinny condition and we thought that he deserves better, so Mi-Feed has sponsored him and will feed him up to bring him back into the good condition he once was. Once upon a time Smooch was a […]
A change of discipline…. The last couple of weeks have seen a change in discipline, jumping the fence into the hack ring. The showjumpers were given a 2-week break from their usual show preparation routine, which they happily accepted for a grassy paddock. The show ring campaign started at Noosa Show with a very early […]
As mentioned before, we need to either grow the chicken from day-old until it reaches the age when it starts to lay eggs, or we buy point-of-lay pullets. If you buy day-old chickens, the first type of feed you need to supply is a Chick Starter (such as Mi-Chick Starter). Start feeding this from the […]

The most obvious reason is a constant supply of fresh eggs, but also keeping and caring for the chooks is a valuable life lesson for children. Also keep in mind that chooks are great recyclers of kitchen waste and consequently increase the […]
Vitamins are the topic for discussion in this issue. Horses like us need vitamins for normal bodily functions. These needs will vary according to the age and stage of each horse and their living situations. For example stabled horses have different requirements than paddock horses. Horses on well-managed improved pasture are likely to require little […]
In this article, and the next, we would like to touch on an area of horse nutrition that poses most difficulty for the owner – that is Minerals and Vitamins. This is such a complex area that we must be very careful to be guided by the professionally qualified Nutritionist. Horse owners are infamous for […]
