New mineral blend targets deficiencies

Written by 

Feed company BEC Feeds says its new mineral blend, to be launched at Fieldays, offers a cost-effective solution to deficiencies in cows.

Developed specifically for New Zealand dairying by BEC Feed Solutions, the product, called Main Stay Macro Minerals, delivers key nutritional minerals in a convenient, palatable, accurate and dust-free blend. 

The company says because it incorporates Bolifor Mag 33 and MGP+ magnesium products, farmers won’t have to worry about pasture dusting again, consequently saving valuable time and labour costs.

 “We’ve developed Main Stay Macro Minerals specifically with New Zealand dairying in mind, on the back of our success with the Bolifor magnesium range” says Trina Parker, country manager, BEC Feed Solutions NZ. 

“Like all our products, Main Stay Macro Minerals is scientifically backed, incorporates the highest quality ingredients, and is designed to optimise the nutritional health of animals. 

“It is a convenient and accurate means of supplementing herds with the essential minerals magnesium, calcium, and sodium, plus the optional additions of Rumensin and phosphorus…. Farmers are beginning to recognise the importance of adding Phosphorus, but until now the options have been limited,” says Parker. 

Main Stay Macro Minerals is dust free, easy to use and ensures accurate dosing. It contains 20g of magnesium per cow per day.
