What it does
Why use Mighty-Min Organically Stabilised Mineral Supplement Mixture?
When animals are showing signs of deficiency, administered promptly, Mighty-Min Mineral Supplement Mixture will aid in the correction if scouring and help improve animal performance.
Mighty-Min Mineral Supplement Mixture’s unique formulation aids in the retention of minerals with Organically Protected trace elements in the animal’s system for a far greater period. Lasting in the liver for up to 82 days.
In the past, and even now a large amount of supplemented trace elements administered to livestock had not been retained in the animal. This has not allowed full value of the trace elements to the animal. Mighty-Min Mineral Supplements mixture by its unique formulation has overcome these problems.
Mighty-Min Mineral Supplements mixture uses quality ORGANIC STABILISATION materials, some in the form of Lignosulphonates and Liquid Kelp to acheive a safe and effective mineral supplement product that can last in the system of the animal for the longest possible time.
