UFAC UK | Transforming Animal Health & Agriculture Sustainably
@ufacuk.bsky.social
Combining scientific research, technology and our years of farming expertise to create animal feed supplements designed to increase productivity and profitability while reducing the impact farming agriculture has on the environment.
Independent work shows Envirolac can supply more metabolisable energy than higher fat soaps because digestibility, not fat %, drives response.

Rob Higgins of Bentley Ford Farm shares his experience from on-farm Envirolac trials, where cows achieved nearly a 2-litre response per head, and he continues to use it today.

Performance depends on usable energy and the fatty acids actually delivered. Envirolac is built around fatty acid delivery, not headline fat %. https://www.ufacuk.com/products/envirolac/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=envirolac&utm_content=060226

The most profitable finishing units are not just fast, they are consistent. Balanced rations support steady growth and condition, helping cattle hit specification and improve carcase grading. Consistent energy and rumen stability protect performance and margins. #BeefFinishing #BeefProduction

When milk prices are under pressure, inefficiency in the ration becomes costly. Even good forage can limit energy supply for high yielding cows. Improving energy density and feed conversion helps cows use forage better, supporting yield and constituents.

Mycotoxin contamination cannot be fully avoided and testing only shows a snapshot. A preventative approach combining good raw material control with a proven binder such as UFAC’s Mycotrap helps protect gut health, immunity and performance. #FeedManagement #RiskReduction #PoultryNutrition

Good forage is the foundation of profitable beef production, not just filler. When silage quality varies, balancing energy and digestibility is key. Improving forage utilisation lifts daily gain, cuts bought in feed and improves margin per head. Feed smarter, not more.

When milk price falls, solutions must be practical and proven. Envirolac is a palm free alternative to calcium soap, shown on farm to increase milk yield by up to 2 litres per cow, improve butterfat and protein, and do so without increasing feed intake.

One of the biggest challenges with mycotoxins is the lack of clear signs. Performance often slips gradually through poorer intake, uneven growth, weaker immunity and variable egg output. When birds underperform, mycotoxins should always be considered.

In suckler and finishing systems, poor fertility quietly erodes margins through delayed calving and higher costs. Balanced energy and omega 3 fatty acids support reproduction and embryo survival. Fertility is not a statistic, it is future productivity. #BeefFarming #BeefEfficiency

Feed choices have a major impact on both profit and carbon footprint. University of Nottingham research shows switching from palm based calcium soap to Envirolac can cut emissions while increasing milk yield and butterfat. Sustainability works best when it also supports production. #SustainableDairy

Mycotoxins place a hidden tax on poultry production. They quietly reduce feed efficiency, growth and egg performance, often mistaken for management or genetics. Managing mycotoxin risk helps birds perform to potential and protects margins when input costs are high.

When feed costs rise it can be tempting to push starch, but that risks acidosis and uneven performance. Improving energy balance, not quantity, is more sustainable. Rumen inert fats supply safe energy, support faster finishing and help reduce days to slaughter.

In tough markets it is tempting to cut inputs but cutting the wrong one can cost more in lost yield than it saves. Research shows improving feed efficiency can lift milk yield & butterfat with no increase in intakes. Efficiency beats blanket cost-cutting. #DairyNutrition #FeedEfficiency #MilkMargins

UK poultry producers face tighter margins, variable raw materials and increasing health pressure. Mycotoxins are often an unseen risk, quietly reducing performance and consistency even when ingredients look sound. Managing them is about protecting efficiency, bird health & returns #PoultryNutrition

Two cattle can eat the same ration but grow at very different rates. The difference is feed conversion efficiency. Improving energy density and nutrient balance helps cattle get more gain from the same inputs. #BeefFarming #FeedEfficiency #BeefProduction #LivestockNutrition

UK milk prices are under pressure and margins are tightening. When income drops, focus has to shift to what you can control on farm. Feed is the biggest variable cost, so improving feed efficiency is one of the quickest ways to protect margins. #DairyFarming #MilkPrices

Envirolac also carries a 60% lower carbon footprint than traditional calcium soap and has been shown to reduce the overall carbon footprint of milk production by 11% per litre. https://www.ufacuk.com/products/envirolac/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=envirolac&utm_content=301025
