Our products come as

pellets designed to provide the vital trace elements, vitamins and rumen modifiers in a 50 gm per cow per day dose.
pellets designed to provide the vital trace elements, vitamins and rumen modifiers in a 200 gm per cow per day dose.
pellets designed to provide the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, vital trace elements, vitamins and rumen modifiers in a 500 gm per cow per day dose.

The trace element and vitamin inclusions are based on excellent local South Australian research. The inclusions of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in the 500 gm pellet options are designed to meet most of a high producing cows requirements for these macro minerals.

There are three options currently available
Trace element only - an inclusion without any rumen modifiers
RT - Rumensin and trace elements for extra milk production and health
RET - Rumensin, Eskalin and trace elements to provide protection from acidosis, extra milk production and health.

We also have a unique transition cow feed available that provides a palatable and effective source of anions and protein.

TRANSIT is available as a 3 kg per cow per day inclusion and Meningie Fodder has available a similar loose mix.

Trace

The trace element and vitamin inclusions are carefully designed to supply adequate amounts of trace elements to the vast majority of herds. The levels of minerals and vitamins are based on excellent local South Australian research (Judson 1998). Research from the University of Sydney (Curtis and Lean, 1998) highlight the important role that the vitamins and minerals play in the health and reproductive performance of cattle. In this study, cows with suboptimal mineral and vitamin status had increased risk of uterine infection and prolonged calving to conception intervals.

The trace elements included are of value in

controlling for copper deficiency
controlling for iodine deficiency
supplies manganese
supplies the NRC (1989) recommended levels of cobalt
controlling for selenium deficiency
controlling for zinc deficiency

The trace elements are made available in a low-dose pellet which will allow the efficient and safe mixing of these ingredients into the ration.

The inclusions of calcium (as limestone and dicalcium phosphate), magnesium (as magnesium oxide), salt and phosphorus (as dicalcium phosphate) in the 500 gm pellet options are designed to meet most of a high producing cows requirements for these macro minerals.

`(Rumensin Trace)`
*Rumensin is effective in*
	increasing milk production
	prevention of ketosis
	prevention of coccidiosis

Studies have shown an increase in milk production of about 0.8 L per cow per day. Once bodyweight change is accounted for, the increase equates to about 2 L per cow per day. Initially, there may be a decrease in milk fat content, although recent studies have not always detected this. The lower the body condition of cows when treatment is started, the lower the initial milk response and the more likely that milk fat content will lower for a short period.

	Studies in Australia, New Zealand and the USA have shown that ketosis is markedly reduced by the use of rumensin. Studies have shown that Rumensin:
can increase blood glucose concentrations and lower blood fat concentrations improve neutrophil function The trace elements included are of value in controlling for copper deficiency controlling for iodine deficiency supplies manganese supplies the NRC (1989) recommended levels of cobalt controlling for selenium deficiency controlling for zinc deficiency
On a conservative basis the cost benefit of RT use exceeds $3 per $1 invested.

`(Rumensin Eskalin & Trace)`
*Rumensin is effective in*
	increasing milk production
	prevention of ketosis
	prevention of coccidiosis

	Studies in Australia, New Zealand and the USA have shown that ketosis is markedly reduced by the use of rumensin. Studies have shown that Rumensin. Studies have shown that Rumensin:
can increase blood glucose concentrations and lower blood fat concentrations improve neutrophil function Eskalin Eskalin is effective in controlling ruminal acidosis Milk production tended to be higher in cows treated with Eskalin.
The trace elements included are of value in controlling for copper deficiency controlling for iodine deficiency supplies manganese supplies the NRC (1989) recommended levels of cobalt controlling for selenium deficiency controlling for zinc deficiency

(BioChlor, Rumensin, Eskalin & Trace)

BioChlor

BioChlor BioChlor is a high quality protein feed with a considerable anionic content
(-2960 Meq per Kg). Feeding BioChlor in the two to three weeks before calving has been shown to increase milk production in lactation by 4 L per cow per day.

*Rumensin is effective in*
	increasing milk production
	prevention of ketosis
	prevention of coccidiosis

	Studies in Australia, New Zealand and the USA have shown that ketosis is markedly reduced by the use of rumensin. Studies have shown that Rumensin. Studies have shown that Rumensin:
can increase blood glucose concentrations and lower blood fat concentrations improve neutrophil function Eskalin Eskalin is effective in controlling ruminal acidosis During the transition period the risk of acidosis is high as diets are changing and Eskalin can play a critical role in this period. Milk production tended to be higher in cows treated with Eskalin.
The trace elements included are of value in controlling for copper deficiency controlling for iodine deficiency supplies manganese supplies the NRC (1989) recommended levels of cobalt controlling for selenium deficiency controlling for zinc deficiency The Vitamins included are of value to: .
control for Vitamin A deficiency control for Vitamin E deficiency Recent studies at the University of Sydney have identified critical roles for trace elements and vitamins in reducing the risk of diseases including retained foetal membranes and metritis and indirectly improving reproductive performance.
