A SAFE, ECONOMICAL & EFFECTIVE alternative to UREA during drought / winter conditions
ACIDOSIS PREVENTATIVE for Grain Fed animals - a natural alternative to Eskalin & Rumensin
An animal supplement composed of naturally occurring earth and sea minerals, suitable for all livestock. Provides a broad spectrum of minerals and trace elements known to be essential for animal health, production and reproduction.
Available in powder form, (Superior Mineral Supplement) or as a Lick Block (Mega Minerals)
Trials at University of New England, Armidale have confirmed the benefits of Superior Mineral Supplement when used during drought conditions as well as with feedlot grain rations.
Nature’s Mineral Balance for Optimum Health, Fertility and Productivity… Superior Mineral Supplement and Mega Mineral lick blocks provide the broad spectrum of natural minerals including Silica, trace elements Zinc, Copper, and Selenium, ultra trace amounts of elements such as Cobalt, Boron, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Silver, Iodine, Chromium, Nickel and Strontium in addition to the commonly used elements Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sulphur, Iron, Potassium and Manganese.
Pasture Degradation increases need for Mineral Supplements… Over decades of farming, mineral elements have been leached from the soil resulting in clinical or sub-clinical mineral deficiencies that can restrict animal performance even during good conditions. Many graziers have now found that the provision of minerals year round has resulted in production benefits with their animals maintaining their condition during dry periods and overall lower costs for their annual supplemental requirements.
Drought / Winter - Periods of Low Protein, Energy or Lack of Feed
These periods put extreme pressure on the all-important bacteria in the ruminants’ digestive system. The wide range of minerals provided in Superior Mineral Supplement stimulates the rumen bacteria for improved appetite and increased assimilation of fodder and grain.
Periods of Lush Pasture Growth
The need to supplement to avoid losses during winter or drought conditions is obvious. Not so obvious is the clinical or subclinical mineral deficiency that can restrict animal performance during periods of good pasture growth. Extensive trials have proven that supplementing during these times provides the grazier with the opportunity to generate extra profit.
Superior Mineral Supplement and Mega Mineral Lick Blocks are based on naturally occurring earth and sea minerals. It is documented that there are 103 different elements in the earth’s crust. In addition to the elements listed below, testing has shown ultra traces of over sixty of these elements.
