Silage gives them feed. Mineral supplementation gives them balance. mineral lick blocks
September is here — and for cattle and sheep producers, autumn means one important change in the feeding program: more silage.
As fresh pasture declines, silage becomes an important source of forage and energy for cattle and sheep. But there is one point that should not be overlooked:
Good silage does not automatically mean a complete mineral diet.
The mineral content of silage can vary significantly depending on the forage variety, soil conditions, fertilization, maturity and harvesting process. Research and extension guidance also show that conserved forages may not fully supply certain trace minerals required for optimal animal health and performance.
That is why silage and mineral supplementation should work together.
Silage provides the forage.
Mineral supplementation completes the nutrition.
During the autumn feeding season, cattle and sheep still require essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, cobalt and iodine for normal growth, metabolism, reproduction and overall performance.
A properly formulated Mineral Lick Block provides a convenient free-choice source of essential minerals, helping producers complement the mineral profile of the forage-based diet.
But supplementation should always be based on the total diet and the animals' actual requirements. Different silages can have very different mineral profiles, and excessive supplementation can also create problems.
This Autumn, Don't Feed Silage Alone.
Silage is the foundation of the forage program.
Mineral supplementation helps complete the nutritional picture.
For cattle and sheep producers preparing for the autumn feeding season, now is the right time to review the silage quality, evaluate the mineral balance and make sure animals have access to an appropriate mineral supplement.
Better forage + balanced minerals = better nutritional management.
This autumn, give your cattle and sheep more than just feed.
Give them a more complete nutrition program.
