StockForce is selenium-free, year-round nutrition built for sheep. It helps your flock get more from dry and green feed, while supporting condition, fertility and wool production through every season.

Wool is grown every day of the year, so the nutrition behind it needs to be steady too. One trough application delivers up to six weeks of nutrition with no yarding, helping support even fibre and staple strength when dosed every six weeks. It also suits goats and cattle, and fits alongside your existing selenium program.

Why producers choose StockForce

Selenium-Free Nutrition

Provides trace elements, amino acids and electrolytes without added selenium, making it suitable alongside existing selenium programs.

Fertility & Reproduction

Helps with better condition going into joining, so females cycle and conceive more reliably, supporting a more even lambing drop.

Lamb & Young Stock Development

Supports lamb survival and stronger growth through the early stages when bone and frame are developing.

Wool Cut & Fibre Strength

Wool grows every day of the year, so year-round dosing supports tensile strength across the whole staple.

Even flocks, fewer tail-enders

Lifts the bottom end of the flock and tightens the spread, with healthier animals at pre-sale.

Simple & Practical

A single 3-day application provides up to 6 weeks of nutrition, reducing labour and handling.

Active ingredients

Every LivestockIQ supplement combines our innovative three component, rumen-protected formulation. Working in synergy like no other supplement on the market.

Where most sheep supplements stop at trace minerals or lean on urea, StockForce brings amino acids, chelated trace elements and natural electrolytes together. Selenium-free and formulated so sheep absorb and utilise more of everything they consume.

Key seasonal application

While it is strongly encouraged to dose StockForce every 6 weeks as part of a yearly program for a whole range of benefits for sheep health and performance, if it is not possible then consider using it during these key production periods:

 

Pre-joining
Dose 12 weeks before sires go in to ensure 2-3 doses pre-joining.

Late Pregnancy
Start 12 weeks pre-lambing and dose every 6 weeks to assist nutritional requirements before lambing, kidding and calving.

Sires
Dose 3 months pre-joining and then every 6 weeks.

Feed conversion
Help livestock utilise both dry and green feed more effectively and dose once every 6 weeks.

Dose rates

StockForce is designed for long-lasting nutritional support.

For best results, dose over 3 days through the water trough using the ProDispenser. StockForce 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 StockForce is independently analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory to verify the concentration of its essential trace elements.

Beyond the trace element profile, StockForce includes naturally derived amino acids from seagrass and kelp and natural electrolytes to enhance absorption in the bloodstream, improving nutrient bioavailability and overall effectiveness.

9 x Essential Amino Acids leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, histidine and arginine.

7 x Non-essential Amino Acids alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, proline, tyrosine and serine.

More than minerals

16 Amino Acids

The building blocks for wool, muscle, fertility & tissue repair. Sourced from seagrass & kelp, led by methionine, serine, lysine & threonine. Methionine and serine build wool keratin, while lysine and threonine underpin muscle growth and gut integrity. Their natural ratio supports absorption in a way synthetic amino acids cannot.

9 Chelated Minerals

Copper, zinc, cobalt, manganese, boron, magnesium, sulphur, potassium & sodium - all chelated for absorption, to support fertility, wool, immune function, hoof & skin integrity. Selenium-free, so it fits alongside your existing selenium program.

Natural Electrolytes

The delivery system. Natural fulvic acid electrolytes carry the amino acids & minerals through the rumen & into the cells, supporting hydration, nerve and muscle function while lifting the bioavailability of the whole formulation.

Application methods

water trough

This is the recommended application method. Apply using the LivestockIQ ProDispenser over a 48–72 hour period.

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.

FAQ

Because many sheep producers already run a selenium program (bullets, drenches, pasture) and too much selenium is a real risk. StockForce is deliberately selenium-free, so it fits alongside your existing program without doubling up. You still get the amino acids, trace elements and electrolytes.

Yes, you can; cattle dose rates are provided. But it’s built for sheep and, being selenium-free, suits flocks already on selenium. For cattle or sheep that need selenium included, ULTRANEX or MEGANEX is usually the better pick.

Because wool, fertility, lamb survival and even mobs are cumulative. Wool grows every day of the year, and fibre strength is set by consistent nutrition across the whole staple, not a dose before joining. Run every six weeks year-round, StockForce holds a steady plane of nutrition. A one-off dose at joining can’t.

Amino Acids

Amino acids are the building blocks of every protein in the animal, from muscle and milk to wool, hooves and the enzymes and hormones that keep it performing. When supply falls short, growth, condition, fertility and recovery all suffer.

16 amino acids9 essential7 non-essentialFrom seagrass and kelp

StockForce delivers all 16 in their natural ratio from seagrass and kelp, which supports absorption and metabolic efficiency in a way isolated synthetic amino acids cannot.

Essential amino acids (9)

The animal cannot make enough of these itself, so they need to come from the diet.

LeucineDrives muscle protein synthesis and supports tissue repair and growth.
IsoleucineSupports energy use, muscle function and endurance.
ValineSupports muscle metabolism and energy at times of high demand.
Key for StockForce
LysineA key building block for muscle and growth; supports calcium absorption and immune function.
Key for StockForce
MethionineA sulphur amino acid behind wool and hoof keratin; supports growth.
PhenylalanineUsed to make tyrosine and important hormones and nerve messengers.
Key for StockForce
ThreonineSupports gut lining integrity, immune function and protein balance.
HistidineSupports growth and healthy blood.
ArginineSupports reproductive function, circulation and tissue repair.

Non-essential amino acids (7)

AlanineHelps supply glucose for energy.
Aspartic acidInvolved in energy metabolism; helps carry minerals such as magnesium.
Glutamic acidCentral to protein metabolism and a fuel source for gut cells.
GlycineHelps supply energy and forms part of collagen.
ProlineA main part of collagen and connective tissue; supports milk production.
TyrosineA building block for thyroid hormones and other proteins.
Key for StockForce
SerinePart of wool keratin; supports protein and fat metabolism.
Amino acids make minerals work harderMost trace elements work as enzyme partners, and enzymes are proteins built from amino acids. Supplying both together, carried by natural fulvic acid electrolytes, helps the animal absorb and use more of what it is given. These are preformed amino acids the animal can use directly, not urea the rumen has to convert first.

Trace Elements & Minerals

Minerals are needed in small amounts but do big jobs. Most work as enzyme partners that drive growth, fertility, immune function and repair. Australian soils and pasture often run short, and the shortfall is rarely visible until production slips.

9 chelated mineralsEvery batch NATA testedSelenium-free

Major minerals

Needed in larger amounts. Target analysis per litre of StockForce.

Magnesium2,800 mg/LEssential for muscle and nerve function and energy metabolism. It cannot be stored, so supply needs to be steady.
Potassium350 mg/LSupports fluid balance and nerve and muscle function.
Sodium750 mg/LSupports hydration, fluid balance and nutrient transport.
Sulphur15,000 mg/LNeeded to build sulphur amino acids such as methionine, for protein, wool and hoof.

Trace elements

Needed in small amounts. Target analysis per litre of StockForce.

Copper4,000 mg/LSupports healthy blood, immune function, coat colour and connective tissue strength.
Zinc5,300 mg/LSupports skin, hoof and wool health, tissue repair, growth and immune function.
Cobalt3,000 mg/LUsed by gut microbes to make vitamin B12, which supports energy metabolism and appetite.
Manganese5,400 mg/LActivates enzymes involved in fertility, skeletal development and growth.
Boron900 mg/LHelps support calcium and phosphorus use, bone development and reproductive function.

Note: Selenium-free, so it fits alongside your existing selenium program.

Chelated for absorptionEach mineral in StockForce is chelated and carried by natural fulvic acid electrolytes, with amino acids alongside, so more of it is absorbed and used rather than passing straight through. Levels are set for the job StockForce is built to do.

Natural Electrolytes

Fulvic acid is the third part of every LivestockIQ formulation, and the part that helps the other two work as well as they do. It is one of nature’s most effective natural electrolytes, produced in Australia using certified organic humic peat as the base raw material.

Natural electrolytesFrom fulvic acidMade in Australia

What fulvic acid does

Carries nutrients into cellsFully soluble, it bonds with minerals and can carry 60 or more minerals and trace elements into living cells.
Lifts bioavailabilityIts low molecular weight helps the nutrients it carries become bio-available, not just present in the gut.
Supports hydrationElectrolytic properties help restore electrical balance after stress, supporting hydration and nerve and muscle function.
Protected deliveryOur chelated formulation is protected through the rumen and absorbed via the small intestine.
Synergy, not a single ingredientAmino acids, chelated minerals and fulvic acid work together. Fulvic acid is the carrier that turns the amino acid and mineral load into a delivery system, not just a recipe.

Application Methods

The simplest and most effective way to apply StockForce is through the water trough with the LivestockIQ ProDispenser. It can also be applied through a water tank, or on hay or feed.

3-day trough doseNo pumps or powerUp to 6 weeks of nutrition

Water trough with the ProDispenser

1MeasureCalculate the dose for the number and weight of your livestock. Example: 200 breeders × 50mL = 10L.
2Fill & connectPour the dose into a clean, empty DosingDrum, leaving about 20% air space, then securely attach the ProDispenser.
3DosePlace the drum upside down in the trough and let it float freely. The ProDispenser releases the product over 3 days as water replaces it.
4RepeatOne application provides nutritional support for up to 6 weeks. Repeat every 6 weeks, no yarding required.
Important
  • Never attach the ProDispenser directly to a full product drum.
  • For best results, start with fresh, cool water in a clean trough.
  • In hot weather, or for small doses, add water to the DosingDrum for extra weight to keep it stable.
  • A small amount of light, tea-coloured liquid left after 3 days is normal. Empty it into the trough.
  • Do not mix with other products in the water supply, including urea.

Other application methods

Water tankPour the dose directly into a clean tank with minimal sediment, and keep it operating normally so the product stays evenly through the water. With several tanks in line, dose the one closest to the stock.
Hay and feedMix the dose with enough water to coat the hay evenly, or mix through feed. Add an extra 10% to allow for wastage, and apply in at least two lots for even coverage.
FeedlotsEvery feedlot is different, so contact Head Office on (08) 8725 4668 for a tailored approach. For induction and exit, see StressGuard.

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.

* This product is allowable for use on farms (or in facilities) certified to the Australian Certified Organic Standard.
