- Ewe Beauty 365
Salt Based: Advanced year-round supplement providing protein, vitamins, minerals & live probiotics for sheep grazing in a variety of conditions. EWE BEAUTY 365 An animal’s performance is limited by the quality of feed, and even the best looking pastures can lack the nutrients needed for stock to really thrive. Olsson’s Ewe Beauty 365 is an advanced protein block containing a balanced array of trace elements, vitamins & minerals. This supplement provides targeted supplementation for sheep grazing all types of pastures in all seasons, supporting bone development, milk production, wool growth & reproductivity. Added benefits include increasing lambing survival rates, decreasing stock loss, and providing optimal feed conversion. Ewe Beauty 365’s block form is weather resistant and regulates the intake of nutrients, meaning the sheep can only consume nutrients as fast as they can absorb them. This leads to healthier animals, and a healthier wallet. Available in 20kg blocks. Olsson's supports local business and as such we sell our products through local rural agents. To purchase our blocks check out your local stockist for pricing and availability.

- HAYBOS
Improves intake and digestibility of poor-quality hay, turning low-value forage into a high-quality fibre source. HAYBOS FOR USE ON HAY Haybos is a liquid hay treatment designed to improve the palatability, digestibility, and nutritional utilisation of poor-quality hay. Applied at just 1 litre per bale, Haybos helps turn low-value forage into a more efficient and appealing fibre source for livestock. Formulated with a powerful combination of apple cider vinegar, ocean-derived minerals, and live probiotics (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis), Haybos works directly on the hay and within the animal to enhance fibre breakdown and feed intake. How Haybos Works 1. Improved Fibre Breakdown The inclusion of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis introduces beneficial bacteria known for producing cellulase enzymes. These enzymes begin breaking down cellulose in the hay, making fibre more accessible and easier for the animal to digest. This supports better rumen function and improved feed efficiency. 2. Apple Cider Vinegar for Rumen Support Apple cider vinegar helps to stimulate rumen activity and optimise pH conditions, encouraging more effective microbial fermentation. This enhances the breakdown of fibrous material and supports overall digestive health, particularly when feeding lower-quality forage. 3. Ocean Minerals for Resilience and Balance Ocean-derived minerals provide a broad spectrum of trace elements and electrolytes, supporting animal health, hydration, and resilience during periods of stress. These minerals help maintain metabolic function and can improve overall condition, especially when animals are on suboptimal feed. 4. Increased Palatability and Intake Haybos significantly improves the taste and smell of poor-quality hay, encouraging animals to eat more readily. This is especially beneficial for hay that is dry, stemmy, or typically refused, helping reduce waste and increase total feed intake. 20L, 1000L Olsson's supports local business and as such we sell our products through local rural agents.

- Bloat | Olsson's Blocks
Bloat- a complex metabolic condition Ruminal tympany, commonly known as bloat, is a digestive disorder of ruminants that occurs when the gas produced during normal rumination is trapped and cannot be expelled by belching. Increased pressure in the rumen can compress the cardiovascular system so that when untreated, the condition can be fatal. In Australia the estimated average loss per year due to bloat is $47 million (MLA Report Date: April 2006, ISBN: 1741910021.) Gas is produced as a natural by-product of digestive fermentation in the rumen. This gas contains approximately 30% methane, 60% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. Gas production in a hungry cow’s rumen on good pasture can be up to 2 litres per minute and must be expelled quickly if the animal is to consume sufficient feed. In order to remove this gas, the animal belches about once a minute. If the gas release is disturbed, foam forms in the digesta and causes the belching mechanism to fail. Usually the foam is of low persistence and occurs only in small amounts. In contrast, the formation of large amounts of rigid foam of a high persistence is lethal. Gas that cannot be expelled by belching causes bloating, and if severe enough, internal pressure on the vital organs surrounding the rumen (i.e. heart and lungs) results in death. The main problem of this complex metabolic disorder is its rapid progress and the difficulty of predicting its occurrence under field conditions. The complexity results from the interaction of plant, animal, and microbial factors which lead to foam formation. Pasture bloat predominates in animals grazing fresh forage legumes, especially in spring. Maximum foaminess of the rumen content occurs 1 to 2 hours after the cow begins eating bloat-causing forage and is reduced to the pre-feeding level 4 h later. Pasture bloat is caused by grazing plants such as lucerne, wheat pasture, various clovers, succulent grasses, hay and crops such as brassicas. Plant proteins, saponins, pectins, hemicelluloses, bacterial polysaccharides, and peptide slimes produced by the rumen microbes - either solely or acting in combinations – can be responsible for stable foam formation. Bloat is also associated with high levels of potassium and low levels of sodium in the rumen, a characteristic of grazing oat and wheat crops in the winter. Small plant particles and foam-stabilising polysaccharides appear to play a crucial role in the process of rumen foam formation. Fine plant particles originate from decomposed chloroplasts. These in rumen fluid facilitate gas bubble coalescence. The bloat potential of crops depends on their digestibility by rumen bacteria. Other compounds are also involved in the development of pasture bloat to varying degrees. Saponins, which occur in significant amounts in both lucerne and clover, are known to form stable foams at very low concentrations. In addition to the plant characteristics, the animal's susceptibility to bloat plays a major role. In general, greedy cattle have a higher likelihood of developing bloat. BLOAT PREVENTION The most common methods of preventing pasture bloat include pasture management and grazing control, feeding of roughage supplements, and the administration of antibacterial and anti-foaming agents. Pasture management may involve using grass or silage-legume mixtures, considering crop maturity and choosing forage with low bloat potential. Feeding ruminants dry hay before or during grazing, as well as slowly adapting the animals to high risk pastures are some of the safest bloat prevention methods. However, even with good pasture management bloat can still occur. When it does it is crucial to ‘break the foam’ as the animal starts to bloat. The best way of doing this is by providing the animal with a bloat block containing anti-foam forming materials, such as Olsson’s Bloat Liq .
