Ruminant trace element mineral

Phytomins is a Natural Organic Liquid Mineral & Trace Element Supplement for Grazing Animals.

100% natural 100% organic

A liquid organic nutritional supplement providing over 60 minerals and trace elements in highly bioavailable chelated form to supplement diets for production animals.

Following the significant success of the base product, Humavyte, for horses and companion animals, Ranvet is pleased to announce that Phytomins is now available for ruminant production animals.

Whilst the base Humavyte product is adequate for most animals, the elevated levels of fortified mineral and trace element in Phytomins cater specifically to the nutritional needs of production cattle and sheep in intensive feeding conditions.

The most significant factor in obtaining adequate performance from production animals, including dairy & beef cattle, sheep and goats is the level and state of nutrition. Animals can only produce as well as their current diets allows. The majority of animal health and production problems in commercial production animals of all species worldwide originate from deficient or imbalanced rations.

Grazing Animal Production Is Limited by Soil & Pasture Quality

Production animals grazing on pasture are particularly at risk of essential mineral and trace element deficiencies.

The nutrient quality and balance of animal diets depends primarily on the soil and environmental conditions present where the crops and pastures are grown, and all farmers and graziers are aware that most regions of the world have existing well defined soil or pasture deficiencies or excesses of essential nutrients which can seriously affect production performance.

Most grazing regions have well defined nutritional deficiencies or excesses which limit commercial production parameters. The quality of available pastures depends largely on the quality of the soils. All farmers and graziers recognise that, in drought conditions in particular, available pasture is in limited supply and feed quality can be very poor, resulting in a need for supplementary feeding.

Intensive Animal Production Provides Additional Nutritional Stress
More intensively raised production animals are also at risk of inadequate nutrition when feeds and supplements from other regions are added to diets. Intensive animal production commonly relies on imported feeds and concentrates.
 

Stress Increases Nutrient Requirements


Nutrient deficiencies and imbalances affect all production animals; most particularly those under the added stress of pregnancy, lactation, growth and drought, where the demand for essential nutrients may be elevated significantly above the demand in non-productive animals.

High grain and/or concentrate diets are commonly used in production animals to increase the energy density of rations to allow optimum production, often at the risk of significantly altering gut microflora balances. This inevitably alters production ability to varying degrees. Most production animals under nutritional stress cannot replace their total daily nutrient requirements from a pasture diet alone.


Drought Conditions Provide Added Stress


Drought and limited feed conditions can result in urgent supplementary feeding designed primarily to keep production animals alive. While drought feeding relies on providing energy and protein as well as roughage, for survival, these nutritional conditions result in serious deficiencies of essential minerals and trace elements, as well as vitamins.

Without the essential nutrients being available in small amounts every day, all of the protein, energy and roughage you feed will be largely ineffectual, as the essential nutrients are required for a wide variety of normal chemical reactions in the body: these include simple things such as the production of blood cells, hormones, enzymes, DNA, structural proteins like bone, tendons and other essential body tissues such as muscle, hair and wool

Phytomins is carefully blended from a range of natural, organic plant products grown under ideal conditions, where all minerals and trace elements are available in highly bioavailable chelated form, just as the plants produced them in the first place.

As an oral liquid preparation, Phytomins provides over 60 minerals, trace elements and vitamins in small daily doses to ensure that nutrient deficiencies do not limit survival or production in commercial production animals. Many of these minerals and trace elements are only required in minute daily doses and most of them are not available from overworked soils, commercial supplements or poor quality rations.

The highly bioavailable chelated mineral and trace element levels in Phytomins equal those in currently available commercial supplements and are adequate for the daily requirements of all ruminant and other production animals, including pigs and poultry.

In addition, Phytomins daily supplementation provides a wide variety of plant origin volatile oils, chlorophyll, sterols, organic complexes, growth factors, alginates, vitamins, humic and fulvic acids, phytocomplexes, as well as lesser known trace elements including titanium, boron, vanadium, zirconium, nickel, strontium and germanium.

Phytomins is designed by veterinarians for production animals requiring maximum nutrition from their diet.

All ingredients in Phytomins are 100% natural, and 100% organic, in highly available, water soluble chelated form. Phytomins contains no added chemicals or pharmaceutical products, with no products of animal origin.

Folic acid 125mg Iron (chelate) 280mg

Directions for Use:

Phytomins is a water soluble, oral liquid nutritional supplement designed for daily use in several ways to suit a wide variety of commercial needs;
• as an individual oral drench
• liquid poured on to feed rations daily
• added to drinking water

Maintenance rate: Cattle over 300kg 20-40mL daily
Calves under 300kg 10-20mL daily
Sheep, goats, alpaca 5-10mL daily
Pigs 5-10mL daily

Under severe nutritional stress or recovery after illness or injury: Daily dose may safely be doubled while animals are recovering, and during pregnancy and lactation.

Drought Feeding

Phytomins may be safely added to grain and forage supplements (hay and straw) during drought feeding and may be safely combined with urea and/or molasses supplements when hand feeding stock. The sulfur compounds in Phytomins are of particular value when feeding nitrogen supplements such as urea during drought feeding periods.

Water medication

If added to drinking water for livestock, supplement Phytomins at a dose rate of 2mL Phytomins to each litre of drinking water

The Use of Salt Licks

Free choice salt licks typically see some animals eat excessive amounts, while others don’t touch the licks. Phytomins contains all of the minerals and trace elements found in traditional salt licks, and guarantees uptake for all animals when Phytomins is distributed on to feed or in drinking water. Phytomins improves uptake of minerals & trace elements as they are all in highly bioavailable chelated form, in contrast to inorganic mineral salt licks and most other mineral supplements. When using natural, organic Phytomins, you don’t need to waste money on additional salt licks.
