Dry season nutrition |
Nutritional supplements are crucial for maintaining the health and productivity of cattle during the dry season when tropical pastures dry off and digestibility declines. The reduced nutritional value of the feed can result in weight loss, reduced fertility and increased susceptibility to disease.
Supplements with added urea – a highly-concentrated source of protein – can help cattle maintain weight and body condition.
SuplaFlo®+Urea is available with 3%, 4%, 5% or 6% urea. SuplaFlo®+Urea+Phos contains 3-6% urea as well as added phosphorus to address phosphorus deficiencies.
Why supplement
- Improve pasture utilisation
Grasses in northern Australia become less digestible as they mature, making the nutrients less accessible to cattle. Supplementing with urea can improve digestibility and increase nutrient uptake. - Boost feed intake
Urea supports rumen function, which can improve the animal’s ability to utilise feed. Supplementing with urea can improve appetite and digestion of dry feed by 20-30%. - Support herd condition and production
Body condition of breeders at the end of the dry season is an important factor driving fertility, weaner weights and mortality.
