Livestock grazing pasture and fodder crops are often deficient in the essential vitamins and minerals required to optimise growth, performance, reproduction and maintenance.

NUTRI-Mins General Purpose + Bovatec® is a balanced formulation of essential minerals, trace elements and vitamins and lasalocid sodium (Bovatec®) enables livestock to obtain more energy from pasture, improving average daily gain and overall feed efficiency, as well as providing the animals with the daily levels required to maintain health and maximise productivity.

NUTRI-Mins General Purpose + Bovatec® is a waterproofed, loose lick for all weather use and is presented in a consistent granular form that is molassed to optimise intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why supplement grazing livestock?

Vitamin and mineral supplementation can correct subclinical cases of nutritional deficiency, which can have a greater economic impact than clinical cases of deficiency. Supplementation benefits immune function, reproduction rates, rumen function, feed conversion efficiency, average daily gain and therefore improve production.

What Rumen Modifiers are included in the product?

Lasalocid sodium (Bovatec®), a registered ionophore, is included in NUTRI-Mins General Purpose + Bovatec® as a rumen modifier. It works to shift rumen fermentation patterns to improve feed conversion efficiencies and increase average daily gain. Lasalocid sodium has also been shown to decrease the incidence of coccidiosis.

Why use a granular loose lick?

Animals have greater access due to increased surface area with the loose lick ensuring that every animal can easily access the supplement. It is also easier to consume as there is no licking a hard block and animals do not forfeit vital grazing time.

What happens if NUTRI-Mins General Purpose + Bovatec® gets wet?

All of the products in the NUTRI-Mins range are protected with a weather proofing agent, so water will run off and not dissolve the product, provided the feed points are well drained. No shelter is required for the product to be used all year round.

What type of feed points should be used?

Dedicated troughs can be used where available, however any well anchored feed points can be used. A practical and low cost option would be to use the top or bottom third of a 205 litre drum.

How many feed points are required?

Allow one feed point per 25 head of cattle and for every 50 head of sheep. Place feed points away from water sources but in positions frequented by the animals.

Can anything else be added?

Sources of organic zinc (Zinmet®) can be included into the products upon request. Custom blending to meet specific vitamin and mineral requirements can be arranged.

Can NUTRI-Mins General Purpose + Bovatec® be fed to any other animals?

NO, feeding this product to horses, other equines or dogs may be fatal, as it contains Lasalocid. This product is purposely designed for feeding to sheep and cattle only.
