Key benefits
- Cane molasses is a unique source of highly palatable, highly fermentable sugar.
- The sugars in the molasses mask the unpalatable taste of magnesium ensuring magnesium intake are maximised at a time when it may be difficult to provide effective supplementation.
- Sugars provide much needed additional energy, grass staggers is known to be associated with energy deficiency.
- Research has shown that sugars speed magnesium absorption across the gut wall.
- ED&F Man Liquid Products only use magnesium chloride which is the most bio available form of magnesium to the animal.
Magnesium deficiency, also known as hypomagnesaemia, grass tetany or grass staggers, occurs when the output of magnesium exceeds the intake. The clinical signs can occur very quickly as ruminants depend on a constant dietary uptake of magnesium since magnesium metabolism is not regulated.
ED&F Man have designed a tailored vitamin and mineral package based on typical UK grass and silage levels, so as not to over supply or under supply the requirements of livestock. The package delivers the necessary vitamins and trace minerals that are essential to livestock health and performance. It is advised that when using this package on farm that no other form of trace element supplementation is used in combination and nutritionist advice is followed to ensure all animal requirements are met.
When to use Biomag 3.5%
In spring and late summer
cases even death, due to low blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesaemia).
A shortage of quality grass at the end of the growing season can result in animals not having sufficient access to magnesium from grass. Autumn calving cows, with their higher demand for magnesium, are at particular risk of
developing grass staggers.
Pre-calving dairy cows
Magnesium supplementation helps balance the mineral metabolism (especially calcium) in pre-calving dairy cows
when high potassium forages are being fed, and helps reduce incidence of milk fever and metabolic disorders.
