A little knowledge goes along way!

Have you checked your feed for essential nutrients?

Livestock require a number of minerals for optimal growth and reproduction. Selection of supplements should be based on what your cattle aren’t getting form their feed: avoiding excesses that lead to reduced profits and unnecessary mineral excretion.

Here at NOVUSYN and HORTUS Analytical we provide feed testing on current feed for livestock to determine the nutritional value.

Plant nutrient analysis in established leucaena

Water

Protect your livestock’s health and ensure their natural inclination to stay hydrated by understanding the nutrient levels, particularly sodium and chloride, in their drinking water.

Feed and Fodder

Don’t waste your money on poor quality feed. Ensure your feed meets the protein, fibre and energy needs of your livestock.

Microbial

Safeguard your monogastric livestock health by ensuring common microbials such as e.Coli and salmonella are not present in their water supply.

Pasture

Perform testing on your pasture to ensure that it is growing well and is full of nutrients, the best source of food for your stock.

Soil

Soil tests determine nutrient levels and other relevant qualities of your soil, allowing you to make informed choices about supplementation of your livestock as well as any adjustments needed to improve pasture production.

Faecal

Respond quickly and accurately to your livestock’s worming requirements with quick and accurate faecal tests.
