Olsson's

Olsson’s 007 Mineral Block is a multi-purpose mineral and trace element supplement formulated for horses grazing on a variety of pastures. It contains a range of essential minerals and trace elements, including calcium and phosphorus. The block is designed for use across all classes of horses, including foals, pregnant mares, working horses, and eventing horses, to support their dietary mineral and trace element intake.

Grass Tetany is a condition that can effect stock in late autumn, winter and spring. It can cause significant losses in production, even when there are no signs of illness. Grass tetany (also called grass staggers) occurs when animals are grazing pasture which has low available levels of magnesium, or as a result of increased body demands for magnesium during lactation or late pregnancy. Prevention is preferable to treatment as grass tetany often occurs without warning. Prevention involves supplementing the animals with magnesium during the period of greatest risk. Olsson’s Beefmaster is the supplement to eliminate the deficiency with 111g/kg of available magnesium.

Olsson’s Bentobite is a nutritional supplement containing bentonite and protein meal, formulated for inclusion in livestock feeding programs. It can be offered as part of rations during seasonal dietary changes, such as the green-pick period.

Bloat in ruminants is the distention of the rumen-reticulum, or paunch, with gas. This gas has been formed during rapid fermentation of the feed in the rumen. The distention is usually seen on the left side as a tight ballooning of the underlying rumen from the ribs to the hip. The usual mechanism of “belching” and letting gas out through the animal’s mouth has failed and so the gas accumulates. Distention can occur from pasture bloat and feedlot bloat. Olsson’s Bloat-Liq is a molasses-based, anti foaming block (10% Alcohol Ethoxylate Teric 12A 23) designed to relieve the symptoms of this annual killer. Bloat-Liq is rain resistant, easy to use, works 24 hours a day and is one of the best value bloat products on the market.

Olsson’s Calcium Molasses is a nutritional supplement formulated for cattle, sheep, goats, and deer on grain-based diets. This block provides a source of calcium and protein and is intended for use in feeding programs where grain diets may be low in protein, minerals, and vitamins. Grain feeding is often associated with a lower calcium-to-phosphorus ratio; providing a calcium source can be part of nutritional management strategies for such diets. This product is intended as a nutritional supplement only and is not designed to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.

An animal’s performance is limited by the quality of feed available. Even the best-looking pastures can lack the nutrients your herd need to thrive.
Olsson’s Herd Health 365 is an advanced protein block containing a balanced array of trace elements, vitamins, minerals and live probiotics, providing targeted supplementation for cattle grazing all types of pastures in all seasons. It contains a blend of nutrients designed to complement pasture feeding and provide additional supplementation as required. Herd Health 365 now also contains Olsson’s Direct Fed Microbials (DFMs).
This block is designed to be weather-resistant and suitable for year-round use.

Olsson’s Herd Health Dry Feed & Stubbles is a supplement block formulated for use during dry periods when stock are grazing on roughage-based diets. It contains urea along with a balanced mix of trace minerals, micro minerals and vitamins.

The block is designed to complement dry feed and stubbles, with a formulation that provides additional supplementation when pasture quality is low. Its durable form helps reduce wastage and makes it easy to handle.

During extended dry conditions, Olsson’s High Sulphur block can be used in conjunction with this product as part of farm management practices.

A block designed for short-term use, starting two weeks before calving. Olsson’s Herd Health Pre-Calving is formulated to support the cow by providing energy and key minerals, including magnesium. This block is intended to complement Herd Health 365, helping to optimise mineral utilisation. Adequate energy and mineral intake during this period can support both cow and calf health.

Olsson’s 16% High Sulphur is a supplement block formulated with sulphur and minerals for livestock on dry and fibrous feeds. It is particularly suited for feeding programs where urea is included, providing a source of sulphur to complement pasture and ration quality.

Olsson’s Lush Green Feed Block is designed for sheep and cattle grazing green pasture or fodder crops. It provides optimum conversion on high quality feeds. Green pastures are often described as “gutless” due to low levels of required minerals that may have been leached from the soil. Lush replaces many of these minerals, assisting the grazier to optimise the growth potential of the available feed.

Olsson’s Peak 50 Plus 7% Urea is a supplement block containing urea, bypass protein, and minerals. It is formulated for use with livestock grazing dry pastures, during periods of high nutritional demand such as lactation, or in feeding systems where additional protein is required.

The inclusion of bypass protein provides a source of protein and energy in block form, supporting livestock in a range of seasonal feeding conditions. Peak 50 Plus is suitable for use where pasture protein levels have declined, including pre-lambing or calving periods.

Olsson’s Trace Element Plus 3% Urea is a macro-mineral supplement block formulated with copper, iron, zinc, manganese, cobalt, iodine, and selenium. It provides a source of these minerals in block form, combined with 3% urea, to complement grazing and feeding systems where pastures and soils may not provide sufficient mineral levels.

This block is suitable for use as part of standard supplementation practices across a wide range of grazing conditions.
