OrganicGuard* is designed for the moments when livestock in certified organic operations are under the most pressure. Stress costs you kilos, condition and days off feed. OrganicGuard* helps calm livestock through weaning, transport and feedlot induction & exit, while supporting immune function right when stress knocks it down. It carries the same fast-acting stress-and-recovery formulation as StressGuard, and offers producers a low-labour, water-applied solution, saving producers time and money. 16 amino acids, 9 chelated trace minerals and natural electrolytes in one 3-day trough dose, as a certified Allowed Input under ACOS.

Advanced nutritional support
The target analysis shows mineral levels, but it’s only part of the OrganicGuard* formula. Chelated trace elements, 16 amino acids and natural electrolytes work together to support nutrient availability and livestock during periods of physical and environmental stress.
9 Essential amino acids: Leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, histidine and arginine.
7 Non-essential amino acids: Alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, tyrosine and serine.
The analysis shows the minerals. The formulation is the bigger picture.
| Essential elements | Target result | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Cobalt, Co | 2,600 | mg/L |
| Copper, Cu | 1,500 | mg/L |
| Magnesium, Mg | 3,300 | mg/L |
| Manganese, Mn | 1,900 | mg/L |
| Potassium, K | 200 | mg/L |
| Selenium, Se | 1,500 | mg/L |
| Sodium, Na | 2,000 | mg/L |
| Sulphur, S | 13,000 | mg/L |
| Zinc, Zn | 2,500 | mg/L |
More than minerals
16 Amino Acids
Sourced from seagrass extracts, these amino acids are the building blocks of protein production and help livestock better utilise both dry and green feed. Key amino acids include glutamic acid, threonine, arginine and glycine, the ones that matter most under stress.
Chelated Minerals
OrganicGuard* contains highly bioavailable chelated trace elements and minerals, including copper, zinc and selenium, to support immune function, tissue repair and recovery during periods of increased physical and environmental stress.
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
Transport
For best results, apply OrganicGuard* 3–7 days before transport. Avoid dosing within 24 hours of trucking, as the formulation requires time to take effect.
Livestock must drink the dosed water for OrganicGuard* to be effective. If you’re not using a ProDispenser, avoid adding large amounts of product directly to the water at once, as this may discourage livestock from drinking.
Custom dosing schedules can be tailored to your operation. Contact Head Office on (08) 8725 4668 for advice.
Dispense OrganicGuard* through the water trough over 3 days with the ProDispenser. No pumps, no power, no daily dosing.
Measure. Connect. Dose. Repeat.
1. Measure: Calculate the dose for the number and weight of your livestock. Example: 200 breeders × 50 mL/head = 10L.
2. Fill & connect: Pour the dose into a clean, empty DosingDrum, leaving about 20% air space, then securely attach the ProDispenser.
3. Dose: Place the drum upside down in the trough and let it float freely. The ProDispenser slowly releases the product over 3 days as water replaces it. At the end, empty any remaining liquid into the trough.
4. Repeat: One dose lasts up to 6 weeks and covers any stress events in that window. After that, return to your year-round OrganicMax* program, or dose again for the next event.
Important
- Never attach the ProDispenser directly to a full product drum.
- For best results, empty and refill the trough with fresh, cool water before dosing.
- A small amount of light, tea-coloured liquid left in the drum after 3 days is normal.
- For small doses, add water to the DosingDrum if it needs extra weight to stay stable.
- Do not mix with other products in the water supply, including urea.
- No ProDispenser, or a shorter dosing window? Divide the dose evenly and apply manually. Example: 12L over two days = 2L morning, noon and night each day.
Add the full required dose directly to the tank 3–7 days before transport.
Example: If trucking at 9:00 am Monday, apply the dose by Friday morning.
Keep the tank operating normally and, where multiple tanks are used, dose the tank closest to the livestock.
Important:
- Use a clean tank with minimal sediment.
- Avoid overflowing the tank to prevent product loss.
- Maintain water flow to keep OrganicGuard* evenly suspended and ensure stock have continuous access to dosed water.
If a ProDispenser is unavailable, divide the total dose into three equal applications over two to three days.
Example: total dose of 1L
- About 330mL per day over three days, or
- About 330mL in the afternoon, 330mL the following morning and the remaining 330mL that evening.
1L doses 20 adult cattle (50mL) or 100 adult sheep or goats (10mL).
Spread applications evenly and ensure livestock have uninterrupted access to the dosed water.
Avoid adding too much product at once, as highly concentrated water may discourage animals from drinking.
Begin applying OrganicGuard* to hay 3–7 days before transport.
Apply one-third of the total dose each day over three days and mix with sufficient water to coat the hay evenly.
Example: If trucking on Monday morning, apply OrganicGuard* on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Weaning
Pre-weaning in the paddock
When dosing cows and calves before weaning, calculate the dose based on the number and weight of each class of livestock.
Example:
200 weaners @ 250kg = 30 mL/head = 6L
200 cows @ 50mL/head = 10L
Total dose = 16L
Add the required dose to a clean drum, attach the ProDispenser and place it in a clean trough for a minimum of three days. Once dosing is complete, pour any remaining solution into the trough.
Follow-up: Six weeks later, return to your year-round OrganicMax* program.
Post-weaning in the yards
Place the ProDispenser into the trough as soon as weaners enter the yards. Avoid placing it earlier, as the water may become too concentrated before livestock begin drinking.
Example:
200 weaners @ 250kg = 30 mL/head = 6L
Prepare the ProDispenser as above and leave it in the trough for at least three days before emptying any remaining solution into the trough.
Follow-up: Six weeks later, return to your year-round OrganicMax* program.
FAQ
What's the difference between OrganicGuard* and StressGuard?
Same job (stress, immune and recovery support through weaning, transport, feedlot and diet change), but OrganicGuard* is an ACO Certified Allowed Input. If you’re certified organic, it gives you the same support, for use in your certified organic system.
Is OrganicGuard* certified organic?
Like OrganicMax*, it’s an ACO Certified Allowed Input, not a certified organic product itself. It’s allowable on farms certified to the Australian Certified Organic Standard.
Is the timing the same as StressGuard?
Yes. Three to seven days before trucking (never within 24 hours of loading), on entry to the yards at weaning, or at a diet change. If possible, dose 3 to 7 days before the stress event for best results.
