Ticking the boxes for optimal health and production
✔ Contains high quality sulphur and phosphorus sources along with a balance of macro and trace minerals.
✔ Contains higher levels of sulphur, plus garlic liquid for increased natural resistance to external parasites such as buffalo fly, lice and ticks.
✔ Formulated to improve production and assist weight gain for livestock grazing lush green feed or forage sorghum (sulphur helps detoxify prussic acid).
✔ Supplies higher levels of phosphorus to assist energy production and growth, and improve milk production and fertility.
✔ Suitable year-round supplement.

Mega Resistance
Garlic contains a compound called Alliin, which converts to Allicin when garlic is crushed or chopped. In animals, Allicin is metabolised and released through the skin and breath, creating a natural insect repellent effect.
The garlic liquid in MegaMin has a slower release than synthetic Allicin but also a much longer persistence, meaning it has a more sustained effect as well as containing other beneficial bioactives.
MegaMin Sulphur + Garlic Range provides both sulphur and garlic liquid for increased natural resistance to external parasites.
Mega Feed Conversion
For livestock grazing forage sorghum, trials with sulphur supplementation resulted in increased weight gain of 200g/hd/day. Based on those results, for an investment in MegaMin Extra Sulphur of as little as 13.6c/hd/day, the chart shows the potential weight gain benefits over a 60 day period*.

Mega Production
Research shows that increased dietary sulphur improves meat, wool, and milk yields. Hill (1984) reported that supplementing sulphur-deficient beef cattle boosted daily weight gains, improved carcass grading, and lowered feed costs per kg of gain. Similarly, Tisdale (1977) noted that higher sulphur intake in sheep led to increased wool production, stronger wool fibers, improved weight gain, and higher lamb survival rates.
MegaMin Sulphur/SulPhos + Garlic Range addresses these needs by providing elevated levels of sulphur and phosphorus, along with a balanced blend of macro and trace minerals.
Mega Results
“When cattle are restless, irritated and have sores, they aren’t grazing and gaining weight. On MegaMin SulPhos + Garlic, they were much happier, more settled, and gained more kilos instead of kicking and swishing their tails around all day. It has worked for me and my situation – without a doubt.” – Dave Farrell, NSW

Sulphur
For many years, sulphur has been considered to reduce internal and external parasites such as worms, cattle ticks, lice, and buffalo fly. Research from South America has demonstrated that cattle fed supplements containing 8–12% elemental sulphur showed a significant increase in natural resistance to ticks (Villar C. 2006).
Garlic
The benefits of garlic in the fight against external parasites, while not new, are becoming more widely recognised in Australia’s beef and sheep industries with many graziers reporting a reduction in fly and tick numbers through its use.
These observations support a study done by Alvarenga et al. (2004) where cattle fed garlic recorded a massive decrease in tick load (up to 50% lower). Research by Massariol et al. (2009) also confirmed significant decreases in tick prevalence in cattle that received garlic as part of their feed.
The advantage of feeding garlic as part of parasite management programs is further substantiated by a Duranna and Lardner (2021) study where they evaluated the use of a garlic-infused trace mineral salt supplement as an alternative pest-fly control strategy in grazing beef cattle. They reported that the cattle on the garlic supplement experienced a substantial reduction in fly abundance with up to 47% fewer flies and a marked decline (41% lower) in associated defensive behaviours such as tail-flicks, side-licks, head-throws, belly-kicks and leg-stomps, which can impact cattle performance and welfare.

Proactive Fly Control with MegaMin
Dave Farrell, Clarence Valley NSW
“When cattle are restless, irritated and have sores, they aren’t grazing and gaining weight. On MegaMin SulPhos + Garlic, they were much happier, more settled, and gained more kilos instead of kicking and swishing their tails around all day. It has worked for me and my situation – without a doubt.”
MegaMin Extra Sulphur for Weight Gain and Reduced Buffalo Fly
David Blackwood, Ballendean QLD
“There were clearly more buffalo fly on the stock with no sulphur this meant they were more agitated, and not able to graze so well and could not put on the kilos. Cattle with the extra sulphur still had a few fly, but with only a 4-strand barbed wire fence between them, we were amazed at how visible the difference was. Now I’m a firm believer in using sulphur to aid buffalo fly control and I also see potential benefits to help control internal and external parasites in sheep.”
