Animals will only reach capacity when there are no mineral deficiencies in their diet. Requirements change throughout the season with feed quality, supplements and animal demands. Feed Additives NZ Limited provides a range of minerals, either as individual products or as part of a mix, to help meet your animals’ demands.

We have a relationship with a local premix manufacturer, a local feed and pellet manufacturer, and can respond quickly to meet changing needs.

We also have supply relationships with a number of international companies. These companies have ISO and FAMI accreditation and can guarantee the quality and consistency of their products.

Forms:
Mineral pellet, loose premix blended into a feed (into PKE or over silage), loose licks containing macro minerals such as phosphorous, magnesium or calcium.

Water soluble or dry blend:
This affects the form of each additive used, and depends on the feeding system available.

Organic or inorganic:
There is increasing evidence of the improved availability and use of minerals fed in an organic form, as it matches, or is close to, the form the body needs it in.

Seasonal additives:
At certain times of the year other products can be useful, such as Biotin, ionophores (bovatec, monensin), prebiotics or probiotics. All these can be accommodated into a premix product.
