Falling milk prices means Irish farmers should be looking harder than ever at efficiency this year – protecting performance output without letting health costs and performance dips erode profit.
The transition period is where the battle is won or lost – calving and metabolic disorders, diet changes, variable weather and fluctuating intakes can all hit milk performance and animal health.
This is where nuphoria – nuevo’s totally natural, plant-based solution fits into the conversation.
Proven to increase butterfat and overall milk production as well as reducing somatic cell count (SCC) and incidences of mastitis and other health issues.
It is in this space that nuevo – a leading animal nutrition business with a dedicated technical team in their Irish offices in Co. Cavan – is focusing its efforts on supporting farmers by translating advanced nutritional science into practical, field-proven solutions.
Who are nuevo?
nuevo is an international animal nutrition company with their own production facilities and with a presence across multiple regions, including the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and South Africa.
nuevo’s approach is built around precision animal nutrition – applying scientific progress and practical experience to help farmers and the feed industry improve efficiency and performance.
nuevo has a broad product portfolio spanning feed additives and tailored nutritional solutions across multiple species including ruminants, pigs, and poultry.
In Ireland, nuevo has established a strong presence in the pig and poultry sectors and is now taking the next step by expanding into the ruminant sector.
nuevo believes that it is “more than just the feed” and places a large emphasis on a holistic approach to animal nutrition and production, delivering technical expertise across nutrition, providing sustainable solutions, collaborating with veterinaries and providing on-farm performance support.
For Irish and UK customers, the technical team based at the Cavan offices provides practical support to farmers and feed mills through technical guidance, on-farm troubleshooting, feed analysis, and engagement with advisers, vets and the wider industry professionals.
What is nuphoria?
nuphoria is a phytogenic feed additive based on targeted plant-derived bioactive compounds.
It is formulated using Mediterranean plant materials and includes multiple bioactive components including polyphenols associated with olive oil production.
nuphoria has been proven to:
- Improve butter fat percentage;
- Reduce SCC;
- Reduce mastitis incidences;
- Improve immunity with quicker recovery times to health issues;
- Increase milk production;
- Improve feed efficiency and nutrient utilisation.
nuphoria has been designed to support performance by helping the animal manage the nutritional “cost” of energy spent on the immune system caused by everyday stressors – supporting normal inflammatory balance and antioxidant status so that more nutrients and energy can be directed towards production.
Why nuphoria?
Modern ruminant nutrition continues to evolve and so does the way we approach stress within production systems.
Stressors – whether nutritional, environmental or management-related – can cause inflammatory load and oxidative pressure at cellular level, reducing efficiency.
nuphoria can help support resilience and nutrient utilisation, particularly around high-risk periods such as calving, turnout, weather, or any major dietary transitions.
From an on-farm perspective, the question is simple: does nuphoria translate into measurable performance for my farm?
nuphoria has been evaluated in controlled settings and nuevo’s Irish technical team is working with the industry to support correct inclusions, programme fit, and on-farm monitoring as well as forage and mycotoxin analysis of forages.
