A higher magnesium product to meet specific situations.
Product make up
Calcium
Calcimate in MineralBoost is manufactured from high-quality New Zealand limestone. The industry’s most stringent manufacturing and testing processes ensure the outcome is a fine, high-calcium supplement you can trust. Calcium maximises milk production post-calving, optimises 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.
Sodium
MineralBoost contains quality New Zealand-sourced sodium. Dairy cows routinely expel sodium from the body in urine, faeces, saliva and milk, which has to be replaced. Sodium is an essential element for animals, and may be one of the most cost-effective methods of increasing milk production. Research has shown that supplementing with sodium can yield a significant production response when dietary levels are low. Sodium in some form should be available at all times, all year round. Rapidly growing young animals require sodium for new tissue formation, and if sodium is deficient, appetite is suppressed.
Magnesium
MineralBoost contains high-quality magnesium sourced from 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.

Description
MineralBoost Hi-Mag is a rumen-dispersible granule containing high-quality calcium, magnesium and sodium.
Nutritional Benefits
MineralBoost Hi-Mag has been specifically designed to overcome well-known mineral deficiencies in an animal's diet and supplementary feed and therefore maximise the nutritional value of your PKE, meal blends, silages and grain feeds – enabling you to turn good feed into great feed.
When added to an animal’s diet, MineralBoost Hi-Mag will maximise production and live weight gain whilst also safe guarding against metabolic disorders.
The rumen dispersible granule is a patented delivery technology designed to exhibit the benefits of a granule during mixing and freight (less dust, less segregation, less waste), while dispersing into super-fine powder once inside the rumen - providing a very convenient method of adding essential nutrients to an animal's diet.

Feed storage on farm
As with any grain or meal feed, products need to be kept dry, as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on-farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with a plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products, the better your storage facilities need to be.
