Minerals and Supplements For Healthier Animals
Minerals play vital role in ruminant health here is some of those key minerals and their functions.
Here we have listed vitamins, minerals and trace elements and outlined their specific functions that all have a positive effect on the maintenance, growth, health and milk production on farm.
We must remember with mineral we are always trying to maintain optimum levels. This means a strong focus on balance between deficiencies and over supply or toxicity.
Most clinical symptoms of mineral deficiencies can be varied, nonspecific and always require more thorough investigation.
Check out some key facts about minerals and learn more about their value in your herd.










The Terra Nutritech OPIS Controller can be used to dispense liquid supplements to pigs being fed in both wet and dry feed systems.
Wet Feed
Liquid supplements can be added to wet feed at mixing time – blends of minerals, amino acids, vitamin mixes, feed acids, phytogenics, enzymes and probiotics are just some of the products that can be added. The Terra NutritTECH data interface generates reports on product usage, dosage rates and on farm stock levels by product. Up to six different products or blends can be added and rates can be set in grams per head or as a proportion of water used in mixing.
Dry Feed
In a dry feed system the Terra NutriTECH OPIS Controller can deliver liquid supplements through the water system of the farm. The full range of water-soluble liquid supplements can be administered either proportionally or on a grams per head per day basis. Up to 6 supplements can be dosed and the timer function can be used to control dispensing at different times if desired. The full range of reporting functions around product usage, livestock numbers and stock levels by product is also available.

Alarms
The system can be customised to have alarms set for abnormal water flows which will alert the farm in the event of a deviation from expected flow. These alarms can either be leaks, pump failures, blocked drinkers or in some cases health events.
Data
Data around water consumption , supplement usage and livestock numbers is available to farm and can be integrated with other farm management systems in most cases.

In a poultry feeding situation the Terra NutriTECH OPIS Controller can deliver liquid supplements through the water system of the farm. Blends of minerals, amino acids, vitamin mixes, feed acids, phytogenics, enzymes and probiotics are just some of the products that can be added and they can be administered either proportionally or on a grams per head per day basis. Up to 6 supplements can be dosed and the timer function can be used to control dispensing at different times if desired. The full range of reporting functions around product usage, livestock numbers and stock levels by product is also available.

Alarms
The system can be customised to have alarms set for abnormal water flows which will alert the farm in the event of a deviation. These alarms can either be leaks, pump failures, blocked drinkers or most importantly where feed or health events have occurred. Water intake is very sensitive to changes in bird health so a fall off or rise in consumption can point to coccidiosis, disease or a blocked feed conveyor. In this event the system will send a push notification to the registered user of the system to alert them so the situation can be remedied promptly.

The full range of reporting functions around product usage, livestock numbers and stock levels by product is also available.
