Calcium: 28gms elemental
Magnesium: 16gms elemental
Vitamin D3: 7000 I.U.
Organic Trace Minerals: 5gms per cow per day
Calcium
MineralBoost Transition contains calcium sulphate to provide calcium in the safe anionic form to provide this critical mineral without the issues associated with calcium carbonate prior to calving.
Magnesium
MineralBoost Transition contains high quality magnesium. Magnesium is required for the production of hormones that are important for the absorption of calcium from the gut and the mobilisation of calcium from bones. Magnesium supplementation will reduce animal health problems and increase milk production. The magnesium requirement of the modern dairy cow has increased, partly due to increased use of nitrogen (N) and potassium(K) fertilisers and also due to an increase in cow genetic merit. All cows are to some extent deficient in magnesium in late pregnancy. Cows cannot access magnesium stored in the body and therefore, it is best to be supplemented daily.
Vitamin D
Whilst a supplementary dietary source of vitamin D is not essential all year round, at a stressful time such as calving its role in calcium absorption and utilisation can improve outcomes.
Organic Trace Minerals (NutriPlex®5)
NutriPlex®5 is a safe, traceable product for improving animal health and performance leading to increased profitability. Trace minerals are important in all metabolic systems, resulting in improved reproductive performance, reduced mastitis and increased hoof hardness. NutriPlex®5 has been specifically formulated for New Zealand cows. NutriPlex®5 delivers zinc, copper, selenium, cobalt and iodine which is a specific blend of five essential organic trace minerals designed for feeding all year round. The zinc and copper in NutriPlex®5 are patented as unique complexes with glycine through carboxylic function with a known crystalline structure. The cobalt is an organic bound complex where the cobalt is bound to a peptide. These unique bonds mean they are less interactive with other minerals in the digestive system and are more bioavailable to the cow than inorganic minerals such as sulphates.
