MegaMin: providing the benefits of broad spectrum minerals
Over the decades, vital mineral elements have been depleted from the soil and in many areas of Australia, there is also a natural phosphorus deficiency. This means that, even in a good season, optimum nutrition may not be available in pasture.
MegaMin products are based on natural, organic minerals and trace elements and these broad-spectrum minerals can assist to eliminate clinical and sub-clinical mineral deficiencies that restrict livestock performance, even in a good season.
The following provides a basic guide for MegaMin blends to use to meet seasonal or production requirements:
Organic Registration

Backed By Science
In replicated trials conducted at University of New England, MegaMin Mineral Blend (the organic minerals that form the base of all of our livestock supplements) was proven to be:
- an effective dry feed supplement compared to the use of Urea
- an effective pH buffer in comparison to the use of Rumensin for grain fed stock
The Principle of the Primary Limiting Nutrient:
The aim of supplementing livestock is to bridge the nutritional gap between what the pasture can supply and what the animal actually requires to maintain health, growth and reproduction. This is why the principle of the primary limiting nutrient is critical for a successful supplementation program.
Liebig’s Law of the Minimum states that growth is dictated not by total resources available, but by the scarcest resource (limiting factor). For example, the performance of an animal is restricted by the availability of the most limiting nutrient and excess supply of nutrients other than the primary limiting nutrient will have little to no effect on performance.
What Producers Say
Customer Stories
98% Calving Rate
Darren & Jacqui Castle, Kumbia QLD
“Service is what sets AgSolutions apart. We now have options and assistance with our decision making. I couldn’t calculate what they have added to our bottom line.”
Weight Gain Almost Doubled
Dean & Bree Kiernan, Clermont QLD
“In the past, we averaged 0.6kg per day. Since using MegaMin Graze & Grow weaners have averaged 1.13kg per day.”
Increased Weight Gains on Lush Green Feed
Tim Freeman, Denman NSW
“The first big change that we noted was with the cattle grazing beautiful, lush feed turning around from putting on 0.9 of a kg to gaining 1.4-1.5 kg per day just with using the supplement.”
External Parasite Control
David Blackwood, Ballandean QLD
“There were clearly more buffalo fly on the stock with no sulphur…with only a 4-strand barbed wire fence between them, we were amazed at how visible the difference was.”
Ration Formulation Service
Take the guess work out of ration formulation. Whether you are looking to feedlot livestock, prepare bulls for sale, early weaning, background steers or survival feeding, our Field Advisors can provide advice for a balanced ration to meet livestock production targets, at the least cost. We have all of the data for the average calibrations of most feedlot ingredients, so for us to review your ration, it is not necessary to have your feed tested. If required, we can also organise testing of feedlot ingredients you have available.
