Formerly Beachport Liquid Minerals

Beachport Liquid Minerals is now LivestockIQ

Twenty years of science. Now with a name to match. Same family business, same team, same commitment to Australian producers.

A new name for the next generation

After more than 20 years as Beachport Liquid Minerals, we are now LivestockIQ. Our products have evolved, and we needed a name that could evolve with them.

The IQ stands for smarter supplementation: clearer product choices, smarter formulations and practical solutions built for Australian livestock producers.

New formulations

What's changed in the formulations

More amino acids

We have lifted amino acid content across the range. 16 amino acids sourced from seagrass and kelp, the building blocks of protein that help support growth, fertility and feed conversion.

Added boron

Boron is now included in the conventional livestock formulations. OrganicMax* and OrganicGuard* remain boron-free to meet organic input requirements. Read more about boron

Clearer product range

Why we've added boron

Boron is a trace mineral that works behind the scenes. Rather than doing one job on its own, it influences how the body handles other key minerals. That’s why it’s now included in our conventional livestock formulations.

Where boron plays a role
Mineral metabolismBoron interacts with how the body uses calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D.
Calcium and phosphorus useTrials in pigs and poultry have linked boron to better calcium and phosphorus retention and stronger bones.1,2
Bone and skeletal developmentBoron is involved in bone formation and mineralisation, alongside calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.2
Antioxidant and immune activityReviews link boron to antioxidant activity and immune response, helping support animals through stress.2
What about cattle and sheep? Research in ruminants is still developing. Studies in dairy cows around calving have looked at boron's effect on energy metabolism and colostrum, with promising early results.3,4 We see boron as a supporting player that rounds out our formulations, working alongside the trace elements and 16 amino acids already in the range.
OrganicMax* and OrganicGuard* remain boron-free to meet organic input requirements.
