Mineral Supplements

Are you meeting your livestocks full nutritional needs?

Trace mineral elements are particularly important for promoting optimal; Fertility, Reproduction, Immunity and Growth. That’s why Donaghys extensive range of mineral supplements is specifically designed to help ruminant animals obtain this vital mineral nutrition from their feed intake.

The mineral requirements of your valuable stock can be divided into two categories:

Major Mineral Elements - required in large specific quantities by animals – pasture intake generally provides adequate major mineral element levels, except at particular times of demand. Ie. Magnesium prior to and Calcium after calving or lambing.

Trace Mineral Elements - required in trace levels by animals – pasture intake can supply moderate levels but this depends on various factors including soil status, seasonal fluctuations and changing animal demands.

Animal demands for trace elements are higher; prior to and throughout mating, during late pregnancy and lactation and periods of stress. Ensure your stock get everything they need with Donaghys easy to use mineral supplements.
