Achieving optimal performance and health from your stock requires more than simply giving some minerals. Understanding what nutrients your animals need, how they should be delivered to be effective, and how they fit within your wider feeding programme is critical.

Heartland Feeds is proud to partner with VetSouth, giving southern farmers access to feeds and minerals that meet their farm’s specific systems and nutritional needs, backed up by on-farm consulting and veterinary guidance.

Whether you’re a dairy, sheep, or beef farmer, our expert team wants to hear about your goals and work with you to achieve them.

After assessing your current feeding programme, Heartland Feeds can interpret your pasture and feed analyses to identify any potential mineral deficiencies, and develop supplementation plans tailored to your individual farm. This ensures your animals are receiving the right balance of trace and macro minerals to support production, fertility, immunity, and overall health.

We have many options for tailored macro minerals. For dairy farmers feeding supplements such as PKE in-shed, loose mineral blends can be incorporated directly into the feeding programme. Otherwise, mineral pellets are one of the most effective ways to supply key minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus, while ensuring consistent intake through the feed.

Where off-the-shelf trace mineral supplementation is suitable, Heartland Feeds has worked with VetSouth to develop a range of soluble mineral products that can be delivered through water dispensing systems. These mixes have been specifically created for the requirements of local conditions.

The VetSouth Essential Performance Mix includes cobalt, copper, selenium, iodine and zinc. The VetSouth Local High Performance Mix includes these key minerals too, but the copper element is comprised of both organic and inorganic copper.

By combining veterinary expertise, nutrition consulting, feed analysis, and flexible product options, we help farmers develop practical mineral solutions that support your stock while reducing the risk of costly mineral deficiencies. Ask your KeyVet or local retail team about Heartland Feeds.
