Meet the New Breed UK experts

Vitamins, minerals and trace elements play a vital role in ruminant health at every stage of their lifecycle. 

However, most grasses and forages do not supply adequate levels to support metabolic, reproductive and immune system function.

Responsible and cost-effective mineral nutrition must take into account the mineral supply from the total diet and the on-farm situation.

New Breed UK approaches this through using our diet check rationing program to analyse the on-farm forages for minerals and balancing known mineral values of other feed materials used on farm.

We do this as part of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), ensuring requirements are met without oversupply or undersupply.

Minerals are required for cows to reach their potential in terms of milk production. They’re also important for metabolic functions playing a role in hormone secretion, fertility, immune function and their nervous system.

Deficiencies in mineral status can affect cows in complex ways resulting in poor performance and/or poor health.

We need to be sure to get this right to support your cows and your business.

What New Breed UK can do for you: 

  • Forage mineral analysis and full mineral nutrition review
  • Bespoke minerals to suit farm forages and requirements to boost immunity, fertility, performance, transition, colostrum and growth
  • Use of protected minerals where necessary
  • Additives can be added into mineral bag as part of a ‘one bag solution’ to improve accuracy and ease of micronutrients

Protected Minerals

The use of protected minerals reinforces mineral status in the animal by supporting retention and tissue reserves through increased bioavailability. They also reduce concerns about negative mineral interactions in instances, where for example, heavy metals are high in forages.

At New Breed UK we have access to all of the protected minerals on the market and ensure we stay up to date on the latest independent research selecting the best to suit your needs and budget.
