Recent rainfall events have caused a flush of green pasture across many parts of southern New South Wales. The nutritional profile of green feed can vary greatly, and can affect the supply of energy and protein, as well as the mineral supply, exposing stock to the risk of metabolic disorders such as Grass Tetany and Milk Fever. Like with any change in the diet, it is critical to ensure the appropriate transition feeding protocols are in place to minimise the risk of these metabolic disorders. To combat potential issues with grazing green pastures, it is essential to provide stock with a vitamin and mineral loose lick such as Blueprint© Lift – a granulated, weather resistant loose lick, to boost levels of vitamins, macro and micro minerals, to optimise health and performance during this time.
Blueprint Lift contains Bioplex© chelated trace minerals and Sel-Plex© from Alltech© that mimic the way minerals are delivered through plants and offers significantly higher bioavailability to the animals than traditional mineral salt sources.
Manganese, zinc and selenium are also crucial in the reproductive process – deficiencies have been associated with silent heat, poor conception, early embryonic death and weak or stillborn progeny.
Blueprint Lift is a balanced blend which can help to overcome deficiencies and optimise the health, fertility and performance of your stock. It also contains Alltech technologies to assist with rumen health and the feed efficiency of your animals.
For more information on Blueprint Lift and other available supplements for green feed, please contact your local Alltech Lienert representative or call 1800 649 231.
