Ensuring the correct intake of balanced Vitamins and Minerals is essential for the productivity and health of livestock. Proper supplementation is a key component of any management plan, particularly in areas with known soil deficiencies or varying forage/grazing quality. When selecting a Vitamin/Mineral supplement, several factors should be considered, including the age, weight and breeding status of the animal, the forage being fed, the Vitamin and Mineral levels in feedstuffs, grazing and water sources, along with the overall goals you aim to achieve.
