Molasses Based: A supplement containing high levels of magnesium (11%) and essential trace minerals. This block aids in the prevention of grass tetany. BEEFMASTER GRASS TETANY BLOCK Grass Tetany is a condition that can effect stock in late autumn, winter and spring. It can cause significant losses in production, even when there are no signs of illness. Grass tetany (also called grass staggers) occurs when animals are grazing pasture which has low available levels of magnesium, or as a result of increased body demands for magnesium during lactation or late pregnancy. Prevention is preferable to treatment as grass tetany often occurs without warning. Prevention involves supplementing the animals with magnesium during the period of greatest risk. Olsson’s Beefmaster is the supplement to eliminate the deficiency with 111g/kg of available magnesium. APVMA Approval No. 40029/15/0905 Available in 15 & 40kg 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.

ALL NORTHERN BLOCKS BLOCKS FOR PRODUCTION FEEDING BROCHURE (PDF) NORTHERN We place major minerals in individual supplement blocks, allowing the animals to choose which minerals they require as they require them. 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%. Olsson's Free Choice System identifies nutritional deficiency in livestock and satisfies the deficiency effectively. Studies have found all ruminants need a source of protein (nitrogen), a source of sulphur, a source of trace elements, and for livestock in the North, a source of phosphorus in order to be at their most productive. We place these major minerals in individual supplement blocks, allowing the animals to choose which minerals they require as they require them. No time is wasted and deficiency is corrected quickly and effectively. The Free Choice Northern System includes: NT Uraphos (urea supplement for protein), 16% High Sulphur or Allicin + Sulphur (sulphur), Superphos 8% or Superphos 12% (phosphorus) and Trace Element Northern Breeder (complete trace element blend). Because the Free Choice System splits the macro minerals, animals can have a choice in their nutritional requirements. They can satisfy their own nitrogen requirement, sulphur requirements, and can balance their own sulphur to nitrogen ratio by consuming varying amounts of urea and sulphur blocks separately, avoiding over consumption.
