MinLic®
Hi-Phos supplement
is specially formulated to enrich the diet of cattle without
the added cost of supplemental protein. This unique
supplement is second to none when compared to other low-moisture
blocks. This block is the product of a state-of the-art patented
process that provides a unique 24-hour feeding system. MinLic® Hi-Phos is an exceptionally dense block that will give
you the most for your money. Here's
how:
- Economical: A low feeding
rate of ¼ lb/head/day
means lower feeding costs (on a per head per day basis).
- High
Mineral Fortification: This supplement is highly mineral and
vitamin fortified which means that additional minerals do not
need to be added to the diet, resulting in significant cost
savings.
- Weather Resistant:
The patented, “"continuous flow"” system
creates a low-moisture, exceptionally dense block that maintains
its integrity even in wind, rain, or hot, humid weather or
precipitation which minimizes waste or loss of product.
- Minimal Labor:
MinLic® Hi-Phos is easy to feed. Simply place the block in areas
of easy access to cattle.
- Returnable Steel Tubs are
self contained mineral supplement feeders that are environmentally
friendly and eliminate the expense of additional feeding equipment.
MinLic® Hi-Phos offers the benefit of a high level of mineral in
a palatable supplement that cattle will consume consistently.
This supplement contains a minimum of 8% calcium and phosphorus.
- Contains 8% calcium and phosphorus
- Balanced trace
minerals levels
- Fortified with vitamins A, D, and
E
MinLic® Hi-Phos contains no supplemental protein and
is recommended for supplementing spring and summer pastures
when supplemental protein is not required.
MinLic® Hi-Phos is
fortified with high levels of mineral to ensure that the animal's
mineral needs are met. Below are some of the reasons why these
minerals are necessary for optimum herd health and performance:
- Phosphorus is important for proper bone development in the
beef cow and is the major mineral of the energy compound ATP,
which is the molecule that provides energy to the cells. Most
range forages are low in phosphorus and high in calcium. Symptoms
of a phosphorus deficiency are fragile bones, poor growth,
depraved appetite, chewing of wood, hair and bones, poor reproductive
performance and reduced milk production.
- Copper is required
for reproductive performance. A significant symptom of copper
deficiency includes delayed or suppressed estrus, along with
reduced growth rate, fragile bones and anemia.
- Manganese is a necessary element of bone growth and skeletal development,
as well as reproduction. Skeletal abnormalities such as weak
bones and stiff joints are signs of deficiency, as well as
poor reproductive performance and reduced conception rates
in older cattle.
- Zinc is essential in the function of numerous enzymes. It is also
needed for normal development and functioning of the immune
system. Research has also shown that zinc is a requirement
of the reproductive system. Stiff joints, skin lesions, reduced
testicular growth, delayed puberty and abnormal estrus may
be signs of a zinc deficiency.
- Selenium is necessary for tissue repair, normal function of the immune
system, and reproductive performance. Selenium is interactive
with vitamin E, and a diet low in vitamin E may require an
increase in selenium supplementation. A common symptom of deficiency
is white muscle disease in young cattle characterized by lameness,
stiffness, or cardiac failure.
- Vitamin A is required
for growth, reproduction and maintenance; vitamin D affects
calcium and phosphorus utilization and vitamin E helps to
increase immune system function as well as interaction with
the functions of selenium. Vitamin E plays a vital role in
the prevention of mastitis.
