Features & Benefits

A low grain and no urea diet that is safe to feed.
RIVERINA PROTEIN/MINERAL PELLETS consist of protein in the form of canola meal, soybean meal, and palm kernel meal and balanced levels of calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and minerals.
The high protein helps stimulate the rumen microbes and will help encourage cattle to graze pastures more efficiently.
Compared to using a straight protein meal these pellets also contain balanced vitamins and trace minerals.
Manufactured to strict quality control standards for incoming raw materials and the finished product.
Formulated in accordance with current research into ruminant nutrition and mixed using a variety of quality raw materials.

Typical Composition

Canola meal, soybean meal, palm kernel meal, bran and pollard, cereal grains, molasses, vegetable oil, limestone, buffer, dicalcium phosphate, salt, mould inhibitor, Riverina ruminant vitamin & mineral premix.

Base raw materials may gradually change seasonally.

Feeding Guide

Feed in troughs, self-feeders or as part of a total mixed ration.
RIVERINA PROTEIN/MINERAL PELLETS are used to balance cattle diets when there is an abundant supply of low protein pasture. The feeding rates are low because of the high protein content of the pellet.
Beef Cattle – When pasture quality is low this is a safe option to boost protein intake.
Dairy Cattle – Can be used to complement bail feeding to lift the intake of bypass protein and minerals to high producing dairy cows or help balance a TMR diet.
Dairy Heifers & Dry Cows – It is suitable for dairy replacement heifers grazing lower quality pastures to ensure optimal growth or for dry cows in low body condition. (In the last 4 weeks prior to calving RIVERINA MILK MAKER SPRINGER PELLETS are recommended).
Below are the suggested feeding rates for RIVERINA PROTEIN/MINERAL PELLETS. The level of feeding will be determined by pasture quality and animal condition.

Cattle-weaners, Heifers | Up to 1.0 kg / head / day
Cattle-steers, Dairy Dry Cows | Up to 1.5 kg / head / day
