Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids provide the means for the physiological system to build muscle, control inflammation and help joints and connective tissue heal and recover from stress. These essential fatty acids are necessary for such functions as cell building and hormone production and they act synergistically with the vitamins and minerals contained in palaMOUNTAINS® products.
Vitamin A - Needed for fertility, conception, eye & skin health
Vitamin D - Assists in strengthening bones & teeth, is needed for the absorption of calcium.
Vitamin E - Aids in protecting body tissue and is useful for healing after injury or trauma. Is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that damage cells and plays a role in immune function.
These are involved in making red blood cells which carry oxygen through the body to help it work more effectively; prevention of stress and resistance to diseases through infections.
Folic Acid (B9) - Help produce and maintain new cells especially important during periods of rapid growth such as infancy and pregnancy.
Biotin (B7) - Lameness and hoof disorders – stock will not eat well, produce well, or breed well when their feet hurt. The stress caused by foot pain can weaken the immune system and lower disease resistance. Research has shown supplemental biotin can have beneficial effects on hoof health as part of a program of optimal nutrition.
Vitamin C - Essential for cell health, strengthens blood vessels, helps fight sickness and infections.
Thiamine (B1) - Supports functioning of nerves, brain, muscles, heart and liver.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - Enzymatic reactions involved with metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrate, fat and protein. Assists with iron metabolism, respiration rates, skin development, tensile strength and healing rates.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Red blood cell formation, nervous system function, Immune Response, hormone regulation and gene activation.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) - provides energy for protein metabolism, Assists red blood cell formation, nervous system and growth. Assists DNA development and helps prevent anaemia.
Niacin (B3) - Energy metabolism, growth, production of hormones. DNA Repairs.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - Tissue metabolism, metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, synthesis of lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, porphyrins and haemoglobin. Stimulates synthesis of antibodies which increase resistance of animals to pathogens.
Potassium - Essential for many body functions including muscle and nerve activity.
Magnesium - Promotes good bone growth and neuro-muscular transmission, muscular health and a healthy nervous system.
Calcium - Required for the nervous and muscular systems, normal heart function and blood coagulation. Also required for bone growth.
Phosphorus - Absolutely essential for healthy growth and life. Must be kept in balance with calcium and magnesium.
Chloride - Is one of the most important electrolytes in the blood. It helps keep the amount of fluid inside and outside of cells in balance. It helps maintain proper blood volume, blood pressure, and pH of body fluids.
What to feed your herd and when:
Iodine For increased reproductive performance. (Beef & Lamb recommended).
Selenium For increased embryo survival. (Beef & Lamb recommended).
Milk Thistle for liver health & recovery (where Eczema is prevalent).
Iodine Beef & Lamb suggest 2 x iodine 4 + 8 weeks pre-lamb. (Beef & Lamb recommended).
Cobalt Synthesis of Vitamin B12 (energy & protein metabolism) and prevents lamb mortality.
Provides vitamin B12 to the lamb until 3 weeks of age.
Copper Bone development, fleece development and protects the integrity of the immune system. Protect lambs who are most susceptible to copper deficiency until 10 weeks of age.
Iodine Protects lambs against Goitre, increases birth weights & temperature tolerance of the lamb. (Beef & Lamb recommended)
Selenium for regular heats, better ovulation & embryo fertilisation.
Phosphorus decreases silent heats, irregular heats & low conception.
Vitamin B12 (1mg) Improves growth rates and weight gains by providing energy for protein metabolism. (Beef & Lamb recommended).
Selenium improves growth rates. (Beef & Lamb recommended).
Vitamin B12 (2mg) Improves growth rates and weight gains by providing energy for protein metabolism.
Cobalt, Iodine, Copper and Selenium.
Selenium - Beef & Lamb suggest 3rd dose.
Milk thistle – for liver health & recovery (where Eczema is prevalent).
