Feeding Innovator Launches U.S. Presence at Cattle Raisers Expo
3IN1FEEDERS, THE INNOVATIVE AUSTRALIAN COM-
pany, launches its range of ground-breaking feeding products at the Cattle Raisers Convention and Expo in Fort Worth on March 27. Gerard Roney, president of 3IN1FEEDERS, will
be on-hand to discuss his revolutionary supple- ment system and the high pasture conversion and vastly improved stocking rates it provides. These benefi ts are possible because his system
offers cattle a low cost formulation that provides a balanced diet, maximizing rumen effi ciency. The benefi ts do not end there. His feeders’ supplement system saves the
problems, costs and time associated with tradi- tional feeders. You can trust 3IN1FEEDERS to deliver an optimized level of feed for any cattle, in any situation. “We conduct a large number of trials yearly to
quantify the benefi ts of supplement feeding in a broad range of applications,” Roney says. The 3IN1FEEDER system offers the rancher several
benefi ts: 1) Supplementing feeder cattle with a small cereal ration of 2 to 4 pounds a day can increase weight gain by 1 to 2 pounds a day, simply because 3IN1FEEDERS’ system improves rumen effi ciency. This is great in combination with grazing wheat crops.
2) Higher weight gain from more effi cient rumen, energy-dense feed and higher pasture conversion means signifi cantly increased stock numbers within any given area.
3) Creep feeding calves a restricted ration through these feeders will improve the ranch’s profi t margin by reducing feed intake, increasing growth rates and producing a leaner and more valuable weaned calf.
4) Supplementing fi rst- and second-calf heifers 2 to 4 pounds a day increases conception rates and helps them get bred early in the breeding period.
5) The control of the supplement fed means that any cereal feeds are safe for stock. Feeds like wheat, corn and barley can provide a very cheap energy, starch and carbohydrate supplement.

3IN1FEEDERS’ inventive Advanced Adjustment
System works by requiring cattle to lick feed out of a groove between two adjusters. Changing the position of these adjusters changes the ration that stock can consume. Research has shown that when the lick system is in
its most restricted setting, cattle lick for 5 to 10 minutes between periods of grazing. The licking period is lim ited because livestock use
the saliva on their tongue to extract feed from the groove, and this saliva decreases with each lick until the animal can no longer obtain feed. While the feeders can limit grown cattle to 4 pounds
per day, the adjustment system allows them to be opened for free-choice feeding. “We also offer wheeled options that feature suspen-
sion, allowing them to be hauled at high speeds and ensuring a long service life.” 3IN1FEEDERS bases their U.S. operations in Sumner.
They have set up a network of locations where their products are collected to reduce the freight burden on ranchers. Find them at Cattle Raisers Expo booths 256-264,
where you can meet their friendly, expert North Ameri- can agents and say “G’day” to 3IN1FEEDERS’ president and inventor, Gerard Roney.
