Mineral-Supplements-2

Changes in the mineral profiles of grass and grass silages coupled with animal genetic advances over the past twenty years have placed greater demands on the mineral supplements being supplied to farm animals. The ongoing challenge of producing a live calf per cow every 365 days coupled with optimum health and performance of mother and calf serves to highlight the importance of ensuring that a quality mineral is supplied from the beginning of the dry period at least until the cow is confirmed back in calf. The anticipated increased milk yields of the post quota era undoubtedly place even greater...

TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED INGREDIENTS Response from Welmin Minerals Agritech, through the Welmin™ range of mineral supplements, have been at the forefront in addressing this ‘bioavailability’ challenge. Since the early 1990’s we have been tackling this complex problem. We quickly identified that for maximum bioavailability of each element that it must be highly insoluble in the rumen. At that time Keylate™ organic minerals were independently proven to be superior to all others in this regard with excellent absorption rates. We have continued this relationship right up to today through our inclusion...
