Blue Cap with Selenium

A Liquid Mineral Supplement for Sheep & Cattle used orally, or added to water or feed. This formulation has been developed to aid in the correction of deficiency of essential minerals, in cattle and sheep. These minerals formulate a unique mix of trace elements and nutrients in a chelated form. Combined with natural ingredients they have the ability to make nutrients more absorbable and have a better retention and improving the performance of the animal.

Blue Cap with Phosphorus

A Liquid Mineral Supplement for Sheep & Cattle used orally, or added to water or feed.

With about 70% of soils in Northern Australia with some degree of phosphorus deficiency, the Blue Cap with Phosphorus is the same as our blue cap product but with added phosphorus to aid in these deficiencies.

By using our own chelating method, we have been able to increase phosphorus and sulphur levels, without impacting on the availability of magnesium and zinc already in our product. Nitrogen in a chelated form is also available in amounts to stimulate the rumen but to be safe at all times for the animal.

Green Cap - Low Stress Mix

This formulation has been developed to utilize the numerous natural occurring effects of Fulvic Acid on livestock. One of these being the ability of Fulvic Acid to suppress stress causing hormones resulting in calmer livestock.

It is blended in conjunction with chelated trace elements to help livestock to cope better with the stress of the unfamiliar surrounds of yarding and trucking.

The mix is to be administered to water supplies with a BLM dispenser. It can also be mixed with feed in the same rates per head and time frames as used in water.

The GREEN CAP mix has extra electrolyte concentrations for lowering of stress in livestock. This mix lowers the stress in two ways:
- It naturally lowers the pH level within livestock meat
- It suppresses stress hormones as proven in trials

The Green Cap mix is used primarily for long haul transport of livestock, introduction into feedlots, weaning and change of diet.

HOW TO USE TO GET BEST RESULTS

For Sheep & Prime Lambs the same principles apply - 10 mLs per head. For young or very light store lambs - 5 mLs.

For feedlots & weaning: add to water as soon as entry to yards or feed lot again a split dose gives the best result if possible.

BLM Floating Dispenser

USING BLM DISPENSER WITH LARGE MOBS OF CATTLE

You must have a quarter of the 20 ltr. drum empty as the system works on air and water replacement.

Water will replace the supplement up to the amount of supplement placed in drum.

It takes about three to four days to meter the supplement out after being placed into the tank with the drum upside down.

To make it easy to retrieve the drum and dispenser. Tie a length of rope the same length as the depth of the tank to the handle of the drum and the delivery pipe. This also makes it easier to get the drum up into the tank.

To get the best result spread the ltrs of supplement needed out evenly over the six weeks. This ensures all stock get access to the supplement.
