FARM MINERAL AUDIT
Having a better understanding of the mineral status of your farm can be achieved with a mineral audit. Forage/ grass samples are analyised for mineral levels including iron, potassium and molybdenum. Collating all information on feeds used, all other sources of minerals, such as boluses, forms a picture of mineral supply & potential interference from antagonists, and the best solution reached for stock to reach their full potential.
Carr’s Billington offer a bespoke mineral audit service for your livestock & farm. From the known mineral forage status, diets and other sources of minerals we can formulate and recommend your own balanced mineral for your stock to perform to their potential and optimise profitability.
