ULTRANEX is the core of the year-round LivestockIQ range, built on the original chelated, bioavailable formulation. It combines elevated chelated trace elements with 16 amino acids from seagrass and kelp, plus natural electrolytes from fulvic acid.
By addressing trace element deficiencies and supplying preformed amino acids the animal can use directly, ULTRANEX supports a consistent plane of nutrition that builds herd health and performance over time, from the foetus in utero through to breeders, growers and finishers, providing practical long-lasting nutritional support without the need for daily supplementation.

Why producers choose ULTRANEX
Lifetime Performance
Supports productivity from pregnancy through to breeding, growing & finishing animals.
Feed Conversion
Helps livestock utilise feed more efficiently by addressing amino acid & trace element deficiencies.
Fertility & Reproduction
Assists conception, foetal development, calving/lambing performance & stronger newborns.
Growth & Condition
Supports animals to reach their genetic potential while helping to improve condition across your livestock.
Immunity & Resilience
Helps maintain immune function, hydration & metabolic balance during seasonal change & periods of stress.
Milk & Wool Production
Aids milk production & colostrum quality in breeders, while supporting wool growth & fibre strength in sheep.
Active ingredients
Every LivestockIQ supplement combines three components into one rumen-protected formulation. Working in synergy like no other supplement on the market.
Where most supplements deliver a single nutrient group, ULTRANEX brings amino acids, trace minerals and natural electrolytes together — chelated and formulated so your livestock absorb and utilise more of everything they consume.
Key seasonal application
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
ULTRANEX is designed for long-lasting nutritional support.
For best results, dose over 3 days through the water trough using the ProDispenser. ULTRANEX 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 ULTRANEX is independently analysed by a NATA-accredited laboratory to verify the concentration of its essential trace elements.
Beyond the trace element profile, this formulation 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.
| Essential mineral | Target analysis | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Boron, B | 900 | mg/L |
| Cobalt, Co | 3,000 | mg/L |
| Copper, Cu | 4,000 | mg/L |
| Magnesium, Mg | 2,800 | mg/L |
| Manganese, Mn | 5,400 | mg/L |
| Potassium, K | 550 | mg/L |

More than minerals
16 Amino Acids
The building blocks for protein synthesis, enzyme activity, immune response & tissue repair. Sourced from seagrass & kelp, including key amino acids like lysine, methionine, threonine, leucine & proline. Their natural ratio supports absorption & metabolic efficiency in a way isolated synthetic amino acids cannot.
10 Chelated Minerals
Copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, boron, sodium, sulphur, magnesium and potassium, chelated for absorption, to support reproductive function, immune resilience, hoof & skin integrity, energy metabolism & bone development.
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 poured on hay when water application is not practical.

What's the difference between ULTRANEX and MEGANEX?
Same core formula: chelated trace elements, 16 amino acids and fulvic acid electrolytes, both dosed every six weeks year-round. MEGANEX just lifts copper and zinc and adds phosphorus. Run ULTRANEX as your standard year-round product. Step up to MEGANEX for high-demand systems (dairies, studs, finishing) or phosphorus-deficient northern country.
Do I have to dose exactly every six weeks?
Six weeks is ideal, not a hard deadline. Some producers dose monthly because it works better with their schedule. One dose provides nutritional support for around six weeks, so the key is consistency. Avoid extending the gap too far between doses, as regular supplementation helps maintain a consistent plane of nutrition and support the animal through all seasons.
Why is ULTRANEX beneficial on both dry and green feed?
ULTRANEX is designed to complement changing feed conditions year-round. It goes beyond simply topping up trace elements, combining chelated trace elements with preformed amino acids and natural electrolytes to support nutrient utilisation and feed conversion. Whether cattle are grazing dry feed or lush green pasture, ULTRANEX helps the animal get more from the nutrition available.
That’s why it’s a year-round product, not just a seasonal supplement.
