Animal Health Information
Beef, Sheep and Dairy farming together constitute the largest portion of animal based farming the world over. Farmers working in these sectors face continual challenges.
There are many factors which influence animal production:
- Seasonal fluctuations
- Genetics
- Animal management
- Health
- Diet
Many of the above factors can only be marginally manipulated. However, a dramatic impact on livestock performance can be made through balanced diet.
Indications of optimal animal performance include:
- Low incidence of disease associated with mineral imbalances
- High feed conversions
- High weight gains
- Good quality produce
- Marbling of meat
- Clean animals resulting in less animal handling
- Easy stock management
By providing optimal pasture a farmer simultaneously ensures improved livestock quality whilst achieving quantity and volume targets.
Animals are no different to humans in that they too require a balanced diet, rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. At Mainland Minerals we understand that an animal’s health and wellbeing is crucial.
