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.

What Producers Say
Customer Stories
Successful Year-round Organic Operation
Matthew Marshall, Nandowrie, QLD
“I’ve been utilising AgSolutions for their assistance with providing a supplement and balancing and testing our feed rations for nearly 5 years. We end up with quiet, well-handled weaners that continue to gain around 0.3kg per day during weaning.”
Central QLD Organic Grass Fed Beef
Owen & Brigid Price, Injune, QLD
“The MegaMin Extra Sulphur has been a massive benefit in such a tough dry year. The lick is doing what it’s designed to do and it helps us to manage lice and buffalo fly as well. I’d say there was a 90% decrease in fly numbers in the additional sulphur paddocks.”
MegaMin Covers Seasonal Mineral Deficiencies
Kenton & Amy Peart, Charleville QLD
“For our USDA NOP operation, MegaMin covers seasonal deficiencies and is used on all our family’s properties. MegaMin Keeps their manure loose and coats in great condition. With this approach our steers are on the front foot for summer and gaining weight sooner.”
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.
