The F1 Mineral Portfolio is a range of highly specified mineral supplements designed for specific situations for high-output systems. High yielding cows tend to draw nutrients from their own body reserves more often than lower-yielding animals. This is usually because the basic diet is lacking in supply of essential minerals and vitamins. F1 minerals have been specifically designed to bridge this gap. The benefits are more sustainable production, healthier feet, better fertility and general health status with an improvement in longevity as a result.
