Juice Grade Apples Available
11 May 2021
For those who are low on feed options, juice grade apples and kiwifruit suitable for stockfeed are available.
Some orchardists have extra fruit available for farmers who need it. With the drought impacting more of the South Island regions, it's good to know about alternative options.
If you've never fed out fruit before or are a bit rusty on the process you can head to
DairyNZ here to see their recommendations on how much and when to feed out fruit or consult your local vet.
