Lucy — Wed, 25 May 2016 05:03:31 +0000

Many companies are unaware that they can get up to 40% of their development projects funded from NZ grant bodies. This includes developing the product, testing, lab work and registration. At LWT we have been helping companies develop projects and submit grant applications for a decade. Our links to other specialists in the world of grants and also checking financials before submission make the process much easier and understandable. If you have a new development within the nutrition and allied sectors (including feeding systems, animal health etc.) get in touch to find out how we can help you obtain funding.

Credence launch in New Zealand

Marketing — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 18:12:48 +0000

LWT is pleased to announce that they are now the technical supporters of the water sanitiser CREDENCE. We did research on this product in 2010 – evaluating its effectiveness in controlling the growth of toxic algae and other pathogens in farm water tanks and troughs. Water quality is a key aspect of animal health and productivity.

The product has been used on our trial site for cleaning facilities, equipment and for biosecurity – and has worked exceptionally well – especially as it requires little rinsing, and is safe for animals. Currently we are taking orders for the product in preparation for the first delivery in October.

CREDENCE is suitable for all kinds of animals – especially in calf rearing and dairy farming as well as for lifestyle properties. Stockists in NZ: Totally Vets; Rainbow and Brown; Feedbarn and other small feed companies.

Research trials update!

Marketing — Wed, 21 May 2014 19:30:02 +0000

LWT Animal Nutrition has completed two calf research trials in the last year. Trials are always great to be involved with, as it allows Lucy to get out of the office and do some active animal work – and generating data for clients that can then go forward to be applied on-farm on a practical basis.

Research work is very rewarding that way! There is never such a thing as a bad research result – it either gives you data for marketing or it stops you making claims you cannot substantiate which can come back and bite your later on.

The new facility was purpose built with both horses and calves in mind – and is working pokies online very well taking up to ten calves per pen. The positioning of the site and the use of weldmesh in the design of each pen allows for good airflow in each pen, without calves being able to physically contact each other. We are still debating whether horses or calves are the easiest to work with – and the vote between the technicians is split! So I guess they”re both good species to work with!
