Extra Phosphorus
Home / Livestock / Loose Supplement /High Phosphorus and Calcium Mineral Supplement to Assist Growth, Fertility and Lactation
MegaMin Extra Phosphorus provides natural broad spectrum macro and trace minerals, plus additional phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium. Phosphorus is essential for energy metabolism, appetite, efficiency of feed utilisation, bone growth, lactation and fertility. Suitable as a year-round supplement for breeders, weaners, maiden heifers and ewes, MegaMin Extra Phosphorus is also beneficial for stock grazing phosphorus-deficient country.
Supplementing with phosphorus during times when pasture quality and quantity is high can be most beneficial as livestock will respond best to phosphorus supplementation when their energy and protein requirements are being met.

Consumption Management
Livestock may be prone to consume greater levels of product at the beginning of a supplementation program, usually due to cravings for a particular mineral or protein that the mix provides. Download the guide to evaluate consumption rates and tips to manage consumption levels.
Livestock will crave and seek out phosphorus if deficient. Salt can interfere with consumption and may be altered to slow or increase supplement intake. In phosphorus-deficient areas where bone chewing may occur (either during lactation or where significant signs of lameness are observed) a higher intake of phosphorus supplements (up to150g/day for cattle) may be beneficial.
