\ud83d\udc04 SALT ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH!<\/strong><\/h3>


<\/strong>\ud83d\udca1 Minerals improve milk quality, herd immunity and overall health.
<\/strong><\/h4>

Better availability of micronutrients strengthens the animal's white blood cells, which helps it to better fight mastitis and other infection-causing bacteria. Minerals have an important effect on feed digestion.
Coarse forages contain minerals, but in insufficient quantities and in an unbalanced way. For the health of the animal and for the production cycle controlled feeding of minerals and vitamins<\/strong>which is achieved with a balanced mineral feed.<\/p>

\ud83d\udccc Many years of experience have shown that organic farms mainly purchase minerals to supply their animals salt<\/strong>but this alone is not enough - other macro and micro elements are also important.
When starting the grazing season, it is important to add minerals containing magnesium<\/strong>. They will help to balance potassium, calcium and magnesium ratios and prevent animals from contracting pasture tetany.<\/p>

\ud83c\udf3e Several factors influence the mineral content of feed:<\/strong><\/h4>

\ud83d\udd39 Plant species
\ud83d\udd39 Soil mineral content and pH value
\ud83d\udd39 Fertiliser
\ud83d\udd39 Weather conditions during the growing season
\ud83d\udd39 Feed preparation technologies<\/p>

\u26a0\ufe0f The minerals most commonly needed in feed (especially calcium, phosphorus and sodium<\/strong>) are in short supply.<\/p>

\ud83e\uddc2 Mineral offer - wide and allowed!<\/strong><\/h4>

The following are authorised for use in organic farming mineral feed<\/strong>containing organic trace elements in chelate form<\/strong>derived from natural raw materials (not artificially synthesised). They are better used by the animal.<\/p>

\u2705 NATURAL RAW MATERIALS:<\/h3>

\ud83e\uddc2 table salt
\ud83e\udea8 chalk
\ud83e\uddf1 Freshwater lime
\ud83d\udd25 ash
\ud83e\uddea phosphates etc.<\/p>

Currently available on the market ready-mixtures for each species and group of animals<\/strong>.<\/p>
