MEGAMIN EXTRA MAGNESIUM SWEET 20KG AGSOLUTIONS
MegaMin Extra Magnesium “Sweet” blends contain a range of attractants to enhance intake and overcome the unpalatable nature of Magnesium.
MegaMin Extra Magnesium supplement is formulated to provide extra magnesium for stock grazing lush green pastures and winter cereals.
The combination of extra magnesium in addition to broad spectrum macro and trace minerals provides essential nutrients that can often be lacking in lush green pastures and forages.
Magnesium, macro and trace minerals are essential for sheep and cattle grazing lush green pastures, winter cereals and on soils low in magnesium.
Magnesium deficiency can suppress appetite and reduce feed intake.
In severe cases, grass tetany can cause death of sheep and cattle grazing lush green, low fibre forages.
Benefits:
Stock grazing lush pastures, ryegrass, oats and winter cereals.
High stress periods to assist meat quality.
Pre-calving/lambing and weaning.
Stock running on low calcium and magnesium soils.
Stock scouring on green feed.
Why Magnesium is important:
Magnesium is absorbed in the rumen and is the second most limiting mineral for stock grazing lush green pastures and winter forage.
Lush green fodder passes too quickly through the rumen to allow adequate absorption of Magnesium, which can lead to Grass Tetany.
Plant uptake of Magnesium may also be reduced in the cooler months, increasing the need for supplementation.
Magnesium stored in the body is not rapidly available, so animals are reliant on daily intake, particularly during high-risk periods.
Magnesium may aid in reducing stress, during weaning, sales, shows and transport and assist with meat quality.
Lack of Magnesium can significantly reduce milk production.
Because mature fodder has a higher Magnesium level in the stem, it is recommended to give animals access to roughage and legume hay during high-risk periods for grass tetany.
Assists with calving and lambing
Grass Tetany:
Caused by low blood Magnesium levels, Grass Tetany (hypomagnesaemia) may occur throughout the year on both tropical and temperate pastures.
Symptoms include restlessness, staggers, over-alertness or even aggressiveness.
In severe cases, livestock can die suddenly, so prevention is important.
Common Questions
What is MegaMin Extra Magnesium Sweet for?
MegaMin Extra Magnesium Sweet is a mineral supplement designed for sheep and cattle grazing lush green pastures, winter cereals, and ryegrass. It provides extra magnesium along with a broad spectrum of macro and trace minerals to prevent deficiencies that often occur in lush green pastures and forages. The "Sweet" blend contains attractants to improve palatability and encourage intake.
Why is magnesium important for my stock?
Magnesium is the second most limiting mineral for stock grazing lush green pastures and winter forage. Animals must get magnesium from their daily diet because it isn't stored rapidly in the body. Without adequate magnesium, stock can develop grass tetany (hypomagnesaemia), which causes restlessness, staggers, and in severe cases, sudden death. Magnesium also supports milk production, helps reduce stress during weaning and transport, and assists with meat quality and calving/lambing.
Which animals and situations benefit most from this supplement?
MegaMin Extra Magnesium Sweet is recommended for stock running on lush pastures, ryegrass, oats and winter cereals, especially during high-stress periods. It's particularly valuable for animals pre-calving or pre-lambing, at weaning, and for stock on soils low in magnesium and calcium. It also helps animals scouring on green feed.
