RumiMate Testimonial, Earle Grant

The boys at BioAg asked me to pass on my experiences with their product “RumiMate”.
I have been using the product for 3 months on my performance and breaker horses and I noticed changes with them within the first 3-4 weeks.

The changes that I have witnessed with RumiMate are:

1. A content appearance with the horses.
2. A mental and physical balance; which I believe comes from the increased minerals the horses are utilizing from their diet plus the natural minerals in RumiMate; including the selenium (NZ soils are very deficient), magnesium and other essential nutrients.
3. Young horses appear more relaxed in stressful situations.
4. There is a reduced need for electrolytes as the product appears to be supplying what the horse needs.
5. The hard feed appears more processed in the manure; I believe the feed efficiencies have increased.
6. Sleeker coats and better weight management. - I actually had an issue with getting some of my polo ponies to lose weight this season; they were doing very well on a limited ration.
7. Wounds appear to be cleaner and heal much faster in my opinion.

I have a wide range of horses, some which are unaccustomed to hard feed or oral drenches. However I found within a very short time the horses would see me coming and actually open their mouths to administer the BioAg. I prefer to administer the product orally to ensure they receive the correct dosage.
This is all my own anecdotal evidence of course, but I certainly will be continuing with the use of the RumiMate for all my animals.

Richard Hunter, Hunter Down Farms Ltd, Balclutha

“I have only been using BioAg for 8 months so I need to be cautious in what I say. I have certainly measured higher soil temperatures – up to 2 degrees – and better brix where I have used BioAg on young grass paddocks. I put this down to a higher level of biological activity and look forward to seeing how things progress”.

Jonty Wall, Riverside Trust, Martinborough, Wairarapa

In response to questions regarding what he has seen change Jonty responds “It’s a whole lot of little things in combination - as though we are restoring a balance. The pastures are denser with greater diversity and variety of species. And the colour is rich – not the ‘fake’ green you often see with salt-based acid fertilisers. The clover and plantains have rebounded and bare patches have covered over. And the proof is in the stock – the cattle are happier and have a great sheen to their coats – I’m certain the palatability of the pasture is being reflected in better conversion and weight gain. I am also impressed how clean lambs have stayed after drenching with RumiMate, BioAg’s nutritional supplement which stimulates microbial activity in the digestive tract of animals. In fact everything is just smoking!’

“I now notice following heavy rain we don’t have the ponding issues we had. The soil permeability and water holding capacity have certainly improved, the worm castings are unbelievable and cow pats are breaking down much faster. Yes, it’s a whole lot of subtle good things happening in harmony. Mary and I are much happier with a more natural biological cycle which results in healthier food for people to eat. To us that is the bottom line!”

Bill Hunt, Ratanui Farm, Otaki,

Bill has always been a ‘low chemical input’ farmer preferring to follow nature rather than read labels on bottles and bags to find answers to profitable dairying. BioAg Agent Tony Robinson worked with Bill using compost tea on his property prior to joining BioAg. “I think we had laid a pretty good biological foundation already” observes Tony. Both Tony and Bill have, however been delighted with progress since adopting a full BioAg programme in 2008. They have both observed more density in the pastures, grass as ‘thick as’ and no bare patches. Pastures have higher clover content and the pasture has a greater diversity of species. Bill’s hay contractor commented “There’s a hell of a lot more grass in the paddocks”. This response is repeated frequently by BioAg clients who say that visually they don’t see much difference but bulk is evidenced by higher yields when cut for hay or baleage or longer grazing cycles and cows grazing for shorter intervals and lying down in apparent content. Other observations include a ‘healthy’ green colour in the pasture, excellent worm numbers and activity and plenty of pink nodules on the clover roots – a sure sign that nitrogen fixing bacteria are hard at work supplying free nitrogen in a form that plants utilize fully.
