Which powdered mineral is ideal for...

...reducing rumen acidity?

When the pH drops in the rumen it will have an adverse effect on animal performance and ultimately may lead to acidosis. This can happen in high cereal diets or those including wet, acidic silage. The simple inclusion of Antacid & Zinc will buffer excess acidity, and will support sound feet, which can be a problem associated with acid overload.

...providing sucklers with good phosphorus and premium level of elements?

Throughout the winter, many forages can be low in elements therefore a balancing effect is required. Suckler Cow is an extremely high specification mineral with an emphasis on trace elements and vitamins, whilst also still covering phosphorus and magnesium requirements. If there are known geographical lock-ups, use the Protected version which contains chelated trace elements.

...adding additional phosphorus and trace elements to the diet?

Phosphorus can be a valuable addition to a diary cows’ diet, but it should not be added without a correct balance of other nutrients. Dairy Super contains 10% of premium source phosphorus which has high availability. High level trace elements and vitamins are also added with the Protected version containing chelates to counter local lock-ups.

...providing all round cover in cattle diets?

When a more universal approach is needed to suit a farm situation, the GP minerals are ideal. Available either as in-feed or free-access, there is a broad spectrum of minerals, trace elements and vitamins that would put some “specialist” mineral analyses to shame.

...balancing moist feeds?

Cattle that are fed moist feeds such as crimped grain, brewers’ grains etc will need a high input of vitamin E. This is due to the vitamin in the feed being destroyed by the fermentation and oxidation process. Moist Grain contains essential levels of vitamin E in addition to normal requirements and should be mixed in-feed or sprinkled on for best results.
