Masterfeeds RiteMins Calving/Breeder Premix is a quality premix with elevated phosphorus as well as balanced trace minerals and vitamins. This premix is designed to meet the more demanding requirements of beef cows for calving and lactation as well as the beef breeding herd when consumed at the recommended rate.
Who Uses
Primarily intended for feeding to cows one to two months prior to calving through to the end of breeding as well as for service bulls at least one month prior to breeding and throughout the breeding season. It is also recommended during other times when higher levels of mineral and vitamin supplementation are required.
Feeding Directions
Feed Masterfeeds RiteMins Calving/Breeder Premix to achieve an intake of 100 grams per head per day as part of a nutritionally balanced feeding program. Provide adequate and accessible clean, fresh water. Contact your Masterfeeds AccountManager for specific feeding directions.
Features & Benefits
16% Calcium.
Fortifies the diet of cattle grazing on spring and summer pastures as well as hay and moderate cereal forage-based rations.
8% Phosphorus.
For the increased needs of lactating cows and for breeding proficiency.
18% Salt.
Improves palatability and helps enhance and regulate intake. Also supplies most of the sodium requirement. If sodium content in the available water source is low, additional supplementation through a salt block is recommended.
Added Magnesium.*
Helps prevent hypomagnesaemia, especially during calving and lactation when requirements are higher. Extra magnesium is also advantageous when lush pasture is being consumed.
Available in a medicated formula.
For the prevention of coccidiosis.
Available infused with garlic.
For added flavouring.
Contains trace minerals.
Including additional zinc and copper to encourage skin and hoof health, growth, immune support and reproduction.
Selenium added at 30 mg/kg.
Prevents white muscle disease and retained placentas and also increases resistance to diseases.
Balanced levels of vitamins A, D & E.
Contribute to overall animal and fetal health and disease resistance
* Note: The level of magnesium in this mineral may be insufficient alone to prevent hypomagnesaemia. Consult your Masterfeeds Nutritionist regarding the suitability of this premix if you are feeding very low magnesium or very high potassium feeds.
RiteMins+
RiteMins beef premixes are also available in RiteMins+ formulas. RiteMins+ contains the same great features as RiteMins with the added benefit of partially chelated trace minerals in the form of Bioplex® and Sel-Plex®, as well as higher vitamin levels. Immune function, health, fetal development and reproduction, including semen quality, can all be enhanced when chelated trace minerals are consumed. Because of the effective absorption of chelated trace minerals, RiteMins+ beef premixes offer reassurance when there may be absorption issues due to interfering compounds from water sources or from other feed ingredients.
