GIDGEE & OTHER FLUOROACETATE POISONING
Toxic plant solutions. Ingesting fluoroacetate containing plants causes hypocalcemia (low calcium levels), hypoglycemia (low energy levels), and interferes with acid & ammonia balance. Each of these symptoms on their own can be detrimental to ruminants, and in combination are deadly.
FREE CHOICE SUPPLEMENTATION SYSTEM
By feeding the Free Choice program over a standard multi-nutrient block, the animal has the ability to choose and balance what they require- this ends up reducing consumption by up to 25%
Urea maximises the benefits of poor-quality grazing by optimising digestion. The aim is to improve the rumen function and therefore the animal’s performance.
Chromium plays a key role in lipid, protein, and nucleic acid metabolism in livestock, allowing more energy to be utilised from the feed in normal pastures.
