New mineral block with plant extracts

// 12 dec 2007

The Salins Group has launched a new mineral additive to improve ruminant growth performance. The mineral block contains a mix of plant extracts, supplied by the company Phytosynthèse.

Particularly suitable for growing bovines, the block optimizes muscular development and helps nutrient assimilation. The plant extracts in the block have an positive impact on ruminant metabolism through appetite stimulation and the continuous support of rumen and liver activity.

For dairy heifers, the mineral block contributes to increasing calving weight, a factor for milk performance. As for young bovines, the block combines performance and profitability by optimizing the feed ration. It directly contributes to reducing the fattening time and to the homogenization of animal growth performance.
