EXTRA MAGNESIUM MINERAL BLOCK

 

A highly palatable molassed mineral block specifically formulated to provide essential extra magnesium, trace elements and vitamins to cattle throughout the grazing period.

 

Extra magnesium should be fed to stock during the critical spring and autumn periods when grass staggers may be a problem for lactating animals.

 

Cattle need a continuous supply of magnesium primarily to facilitate the numerous energy-generating reactions in their tissues and for the correct transmission of nerve pulses.

Also there are two types of grass staggers (hypomagnesaemia) recognised clinically in calves, which appears to be due to a straightforward deficiency of magnesium in the diet, and lactation tetany, in which there may be a partial dietary deficiency but in which nutritional and metabolic factors reduce the availability, or increase the body loss, of magnesium.
