When grass alone is not enough

Early season grazed grass is one of the most economical and nutritious feeds for ruminants. By mid-May, it is usually growing well and good gains in lambs and cattle are easily achieved, with up to 24 per cent protein (in the DM), around 80 D-value and an ME of approximately 12.5 MJ/kg DM.

However, there can be significant differences between the mineral content of pastures during the grazing season, with potential mineral deficiencies slowing down the production benefits that may be achieved at this time. Offering a free-access supplement containing a full range of minerals, vitamins and trace elements during the grazing season can help make the most of the low-cost summer pasture.

The MIN VIT bucket has been specifically designed to supply what is potentially missing in summer grazing. It contains high levels of all the major minerals, vitamins and trace elements, therefore helping to maintain good stock health and optimise performance.
