Customer Testimonials

“Grazing in our Mulga country, we need to supplement to avoid the primary mineral deficiencies of Phosphorus and Sulphur. Nitrogen (protein) is also below maintenance for late pregnant and lacting cows due to the high tannins in Mulga leaf. We are feeding lactating cows on pushed Mulga at the moment with the MegaMin supplement and they are rearing young calves quite well. The cows udders are showing a surprising amount of milk.

It seems that the MegaMin enhances the activity of the rumen micro-organisms to get the cows back in balance with Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulphur.”

– Peter Schmidt, Wyandra QLD

“Breeders on our property ‘Quilpeta’ at Wyandra were first introduced to MegaMin supplements in 2009. Running cattle in Phosphorus deficient country, we find that MegaMin USDA/NOP blend supplies the necessary Phosphorus as well as minerals and trace elements. Our cattle have access to MegaMin all year round and we are very happy with the result.”

– David & Wendy Wilkinson, ‘Barford,’ Augathella QLD
