MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION FOR SUMMER PRODUCTION

What if the right mineral supplementation could help in maintaining production levels through the summer months?

New Zealand summers are known for their challenges, with weather ranging from drought to high precipitation and humidity. Many farmers believe the decrease in production over summer is something they have no control over, however the right mineral supplementation can go a long way to mitigate production loss.

All feed management and supplementation in dairy cattle should be targeted at maintaining healthy rumen performance. A healthy rumen is key to maintaining production levels through summer, as well as guarding against heat stress, facial eczema, SARA, and other metabolic diseases – and keeping up with macro and micro mineral supplementation is integral to healthy rumen function.

Agvance’s range of mineral supplements are scientifically proven to combat the effects of heat in dairy cattle. Designed to provide the right minerals at the right times, Agvance mineral products contain:

• Live yeast – used to stabilise rumen pH, increase rumen flora growth, and fibre digestibility.
• Seaweed extract – long proven to mitigate the effects of heat.
• Toxin binders – combat the effects of ergot toxins.
• Chromium – provides more energy to the cow.
