Minerals and Supplements

The Howard Farms range of minerals and supplements have been designed to balance the diets of cattle for essential micronutrients.

The latest technical knowledge on mineral nutrition has been incorporated into Howard Farms’ range of minerals and supplements to ensure high bioavailability.

Mineral nutrition is a small but crucial part of the complete animal nutrition programme. It can often be overlooked but is critical to the performance of every animal. Although only small quantities are required, vitamins and minerals have a disproportionate effect on animal performance through their role in energy and protein utilisation, and the maintenance of fertility and health.

In ruminants, minerals are involved in growth, production and the maintenance of health. Without mineral elements the macro-nutrients of protein, carbohydrates and fat, which provides the ruminant animal with energy, would be worthless.
