MEGANEX is the high-performance supplement of the year-round range, built for the systems that ask the most of their nutrition. Low phosphorus, copper and zinc quietly hold high-demand herds back, and when the dry sets in, pasture protein runs short too. MEGANEX tackles all of it in a single dose, significantly elevated copper and zinc, added phosphorus for phosphorus-deficient country, and 16 preformed amino acids to fill the protein gap that mineral-only products leave behind, all through the same chelated, rumen-protected science behind every LivestockIQ supplement. Applied through water, feed or hay, one dose provides up to six weeks of nutrition.

Why producers choose MEGANEX
Elevated Mineral Demand
Delivers the copper, zinc and phosphorus that high-performance systems pull harder on than standard nutrition is built to supply.
Fertility & Reproduction
Boron and manganese with arginine help support conception, foetal development and tighter calving and lambing.
Growth & Finishing
Elevated minerals with lysine and proline support skeletal and muscle development, weight gain and finishing in young and growing stock.
Immunity & Resilience
Higher copper and zinc with selenium and boron help maintain immune function through seasonal change and stress.
Milk & Breeder Condition
Helps hold milk quality and breeder condition through lactation in high-output dairy and beef systems.
Feed Conversion & Protein
16 amino acids the animal absorbs directly help make more of both dry and green feed, where urea-based and mineral-only products fall short.
Active ingredients
Every LivestockIQ supplement combines highly bioavailable trace elements, naturally derived amino acids and fulvic acid electrolytes, with targeted ingredients added where needed for specific production challenges.
Together, these ingredients support nutrient absorption, feed utilisation, animal health and performance to help livestock thrive when it matters most.
Key times to use
While it is strongly encouraged to dose every 6 weeks as part of a yearly program for a whole range of benefits for herd health and performance, if it is not possible then the following are key times to use:
Pre-joining
Dose 12 weeks before sires go in to ensure 2-3 doses pre-joining.
Late Pregnancy
Start 12 weeks pre-calving or pre-lambing and dose every 6 weeks to assist with nutritional requirements before calving or lambing.
Sires
3 months pre-joining and then every 6 weeks.
Feed conversion
Across both dry and green feed conditions dose once every 6 weeks.
Dose rates
MEGANEX is designed for long-lasting nutritional support.
For best results, dose over 3 days through the water trough using the ProDispenser. MEGANEX can also be added to feed at the dose rates below, or used as directed by your vet. One dose provides nutrition for up to 6 weeks, with no daily supplementation required.
Repeat every 6 weeks for year-round health & performance.

Advanced nutritional support
Every batch of MEGANEX is independently analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory to verify the concentration of its essential trace elements.
While the analysis table shows the target levels of each mineral, the performance of MEGANEX comes from more than trace elements alone. Its formulation combines chelated trace elements, naturally derived amino acids from seagrass and kelp and natural electrolytes, with added phosphorus and elevated copper and zinc to support livestock with higher nutritional demands.
Unlike conventional mineral supplements, this integrated delivery system helps maximise nutrient availability where it matters most.
| Essential elements | Target result | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Boron, B | 900 | mg/L |
| Cobalt, Co | 3,000 | mg/L |
| Copper, Cu | 5,000 | mg/L |
| Magnesium, Mg | 2,800 | mg/L |
| Manganese, Mn | 5,400 | mg/L |
| Phosphorus, P | 3,300 | mg/L |
| Potassium, K | 850 | mg/L |
| Selenium, Se | 1,500 | mg/L |
| Sodium, Na | 2,000 | mg/L |
| Sulphur, S | 16,000 | mg/L |
| Zinc, Zn | 7,000 | mg/L |
More than minerals
16 Amino Acids
Sourced from seagrass and kelp extracts, these amino acids are the building blocks of protein production and help livestock better utilise both dry and green feed. Led by arginine, lysine, leucine and proline, the ones behind conception, finishing and connective tissue strength.
Chelated Minerals
MEGANEX contains highly bioavailable chelated trace elements and minerals, including elevated copper and zinc, plus added phosphorus to support livestock with increased nutritional requirements. Together, these nutrients help support fertility, growth, feed utilisation, immune function and overall productivity.
Natural Electrolytes
Derived from fulvic acid, the natural electrolytes assist nutrient transport throughout the body. Fulvic acid is highly soluble and naturally binds with minerals, helping move nutrients into cells where they can be more effectively utilised.
Application methods
water trough
Water tank
Suitable where livestock are supplied from a central tank system.
Feed & HAY
Can be mixed through feed or hay when water application is not practical.

Is MEGANEX the same as the old Beachport White Cap, and why the orange cap?
It’s the reformulated White Cap. Copper and zinc are now higher, phosphorus retained, so it’s a genuine step up. The cap moved to orange to represent the increase in copper, so it’s easy to pick as the high-performance option. Trough delivery and six-week dose are unchanged.
Do I need MEGANEX or ULTRANEX?
It comes down to demand and country. Choose MEGANEX for high-demand systems (dairies, studs, finishing, tight calving) or phosphorus-deficient country, common across northern Australia. Stock chewing bones or sticks is a classic phosphorus sign. Otherwise ULTRANEX is the more economical fit.
Do I need to keep using licks or blocks as well when running MEGANEX?
That’s up to you. MEGANEX works alongside licks and blocks rather than replacing them outright, and where deficiencies are extreme, running both can make the lick or block go further. Either way, you’ll usually notice consumption of the dry supplement drop off, because the stock are getting what they need through the trough. Let the stock do the talking.
