What is a fertility Booster feed?

A good quality fertility booster feed provides an opportunity to supply essential nutrients to support fertility and production of the breeding cow. Fertility booster is designed to complement grass and support the cow during the breeding season and provide these nutrients at an appropriate feeding rate.

Trace elements play a critical role in supporting production and fertility in the cow. Fertility booster, boost trace element levels in feed and ensures adequate intake’s at this critical time.

Magnesium – is involved in over 300 biochemical process in the cow many essential to metabolic and hormone function. Many farmers only feed magnesium to prevent tetany. It is not unusual to see low blood magnesium in cows during the breeding season. Use of compound fertiliser increases herbage level of potassium. This reduces magnesium level in grass and the cow ability to absorb it.
