Minerals can be pre blended with PKE or Dairy Hi Carb mixes

Very convenient way of administering health additives to animals

Ravensdown offers the option of PKE blended with grain (Dairy Hi Carb 18 or Dairy Hi Carb 27) which is better for your cows and gives increased returns. In addition there is now the option of blending minerals (with or without Rumensin) into the PKE which is a very convenient way of administering these products to animals. For more information contact your Ravensdown account manager or our customer centre.

The following are animal health additives that can be mixed into PKE or Dairy Hi Carb blends:

Magnesium - to aid in prevention of hypomagnesaemia (grass staggers).
Calcium - to aid in prevention of hypocalcaemia (milk fever).
Sodium (salt) - to aid in prevention of sodium deficiency.
Triple Mix - mixture of magnesium, calcium and sodium.
Trace elements - copper, cobalt, selenium, iodine and zinc.
Rumensin (monensin sodium) - improves the digestive efficiency (improved cow condition, increased milk production and reduced metabolic disease, ie ketosis) and reduces gas production (aids in the control of bloat).
Zinc oxide - for facial eczema prevention.
