Why Customisation Matters
Every farm is different – so why are so many mineral programmes the same?
Differences in pasture, soil types, cow type, feed systems, and seasons mean your herd’s mineral requirements are constantly changing. Using a generic mineral mix can lead to:
- Paying for nutrients your farm doesn’t need
- Missing key deficiencies, therefore holding performance back
- Inconsistencies in animal health and production
Smarter Minerals = Better Results (and Better ROI)
A customised mineral programme ensures you’re investing where it counts:
- Healthier cows
- Better reproduction & production
- More efficient feed utilisation
- Less wasted spending
How Nutritech Delivers a Better Outcome
We don’t guess – we measure, analyse, and tailor.
Your Nutritech Area Manager builds a mineral programme using:
- Blood & liver results
- Herbage testing
- Your feeding system & farm data
- Nutritech’s Diet Check Software
- Looking at your herd – your cows tell you more than you think
Diet Check is a valuable tool because it combines diet information, production data, and mineral testing results to accurately identify nutritional gaps, allowing more precise and cost-effective mineral recommendations tailored to each farm system. It is more than a spreadsheet – being a model of factors in interactions between nutrients. For example, if molybdenum, iron or sulphur is high, the requirement for copper increases. This is the power of getting specific with your pastures and your farm.
Then we take it further…
We can combine trace minerals, macro minerals, and key feed additives into one custom blend – making it:
- Easier for staff to use
- More consistent across the herd
- Often cheaper per cow
The more we can include in one blend, the more efficient and cost-effective your system becomes.
