PREMIXES & MINERALS
 | Dairy cattle mineral and vitamin requirements vary from herd to herd and group to group. Appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals impact energy and fat metabolism, immunity, hoof health and lameness, feed intake, and milk yield. Since many factors influence vitamin and mineral availability and utilization, Viafield has a variety of Land O'Lakes Purina Feed premixes and paks to supplement any ration and balance almost any diet. Many of Viafield's custom feeds and both the Hi Phos Supreme and Dry Cow Supreme premixes contain Availa®-4 Performance Minerals® from Zinpro Corp. Availa-4 provides a well-balanced trace mineral package — including zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt — that is easily absorbed, predictable, bioavailable and cost-effective. Premixes are customized based on herd requirements and production goals for each herd. | | | |
