The Royal Dairy Innovation Award is an annual award that recognises new and innovative technologies in the dairy sector.
With proven performance benefits including improved intakes and milk yield, Trident Feeds NovaPro can also provide a cost-effective alternative to soya.
Trials run by the University of Nottingham found rations containing NovaPro produced an additional 1.7 litres of milk per cow per day compared to a soya and rape ration, with no significant effect on milk constituents.
