Owens Nutrition Molassed Mineral Buckets

Molassed mineral buckets are a highly palatable and convenient source of essential trace elements and vitamins, in a weather resistant form for feeding in isolated areas, at pasture, collecting yards or the parlour.

Depending on requirements, the range of molassed mineral buckets can supply general and specific micronutrients, as well as protein and energy.

Nutrient requirements alter during different phases of the production cycle and, coupled with a varying contribution from forage, the adversities of weather and everything else life can throw at them, our buckets are designed to optimise these phases, whether growth, reproduction or general well being.

Owens Nutrition Ltd. can offer the following buckets, which:

• Provide good levels of the highest quality micronutrients
• Are a balanced formulation to optimise growth, reproduction and condition
• Are highly palatable to encourage intake
• Where relevant provide high levels of energy and quality protein
