A Bucket Load of Benefits
The sun is shining and the grass seems plentiful, so it would be easy just to leave your livestock to it and not provide any additional supplementation over the summer months. But there’s an unseen risk, summer grazing can often be deficient in key nutrients that are essential for future performance.
Harbro buckets offer a simple and hassle-free way of making sure your livestock have 24-hour access to the nutrition they need over the summer months.
Combat Deficiencies to Maintain Performance –provide a full complement of macro minerals and trace elements which are often lacking in summer grass but are vital for maintaining growth.
Hydrate & Reduce Heat Stress Risk – provide high levels of salt, which promote water consumption and help livestock to stay hydrated in hot weather.
Improve Forage Digestion – support rumen function, to help livestock utilise forage more efficiently.
Support Reproduction – supplementation over the summer period helps to support the reproductive cycle, improving fertility and conception rates.
Added Extras – we have buckets available which contain garlic to repel biting insects or RumiTech for improving feed efficiency.
