Calcimate in MineralBoost is manufactured from high quality New Zealand limestone. Combine this with the industry’s most stringent manufacturing and testing processes, ensures the outcome is a fine, high calcium supplement you can trust.

Calcium maximises milk production potential post-calving, boosts low calcium supplements such as PKE and maize silage for optimum assimilation, improves reproduction, strengthens the cows’ immune system, counters the stress from cold weather and extreme activity (i.e. mating, calving) and enables younger stock to reach their growth potential.

MineralBoost contains high quality magnesium sourced out of Australia.

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.

MineralBoost contains quality New Zealand made sodium. Dairy cows routinely expel Na from the body in urine, faeces, saliva and milk which has to be replaced.

Salt is an essential element for animals, and may be one of the most cost effective methods of increasing milk production. Research has proven supplementing with sodium can give a significant production response when the dietary level is low. Sodium in some form should be available at all times all year round. Young animals in rapid growth require sodium for new tissue formation and if sodium is deficient, appetite is suppressed.
