Dear member,
With Christmas just around the corner, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and restful festive season. Farming never really stops, but I hope you can find some time to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. Whether it is sharing a meal, catching up with loved ones, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself, after all, you have earned it!
If you can spare five minutes, we would love your feedback in our Tried & Tested survey on silage additives, whether you use them or not, your views matter! You can take part online via the link or QR code in the advert, or complete the printed survey enclosed. Don’t forget, a prepaid envelope was included in your last mailing, so please dig it out, we are saving costs and trees by not resending!
Also tucked into your mailing is our annual year planner – perfect for keeping you organised and on top of things throughout 2026! If you would like a few extra copies for the kitchen wall or the office, just give us a call and we will happily send more your way.
Speak soon,

Calf Shed Hygiene Workbook
Pathogens causing disease in calves are ever-present in the environment, so while eradication is impossible, reducing exposure is essential. Ultimately, whether a calf thrives or succumbs to illness depends on the balance between immunity and challenge. The aim should be to boost a calf’s immunity (ability to resist disease), whilst also lowering the disease challenge in the environment.
This Dairy Insight will focus exclusively on hygiene factors within the calf shed. Exploring proactive measures that can be taken to improve calf health on farm.
MultiminTM Research Insight
At Kingshay, we pride ourselves on being an independent source of knowledge for farmers. Our goal is to provide practical, evidence-based information that supports informed decision-making on farm. Occasionally, this includes insights into specific products, but only when backed by robust, peer-reviewed science. In this Research Insight publication, with input from the product supplier, we explore one such product and examine the research behind it.
Multimin™ from Virbac, can be administered to cattle to support their immune system, enhance fertility, and combat oxidative stress, to improve health and productivity.
