Why supplement?
Minerals and Vitamins are essential for proper body function & optimum health status in all farm livestock. Both major and minor elements can and will often be deficient in the everyday diets of our farm animals. For example, the levels of Copper, Selenium and Cobalt in grazed grass can easily be as much as 50% below what’s required by a lactating dairy cow.
It is important to remember that the performance of any animal will always be limited to the level supported by the most deficient nutrient in its diet. So if your cows are deficient in Cobalt, no amount of feeding will make up for it and you will be left wondering why your cows are not going in calf etc.
Why Acorn?

The most experienced ruminant nutritionists within the Acorn group meet regularly, with the leading Premix companies & Mineral nutrition researchers in the country, to design the very best mineral & vitamin supplementation packages that can be put together.

Let us help you!
In modern livestock farming, mineral and /or vitamin deficiencies most often occur at a sub-clinical level. This means the deficiency is not severe & is not easily spotted because the animal displays no obvious symptoms. However, it will be costing you dearly every day it goes undetected.
So it is very important that every farmer gets a clear picture of the mineral & vitamin status of their livestock and keep it updated every 5 – 6 years by devising and implementing a programme of routine analysis. Our ruminant nutritionists will be happy to help you design and implement such a programme.
