Spring pasture can change quickly and so can what it provides.
A green paddock doesn’t always mean stock are getting everything they need.
Before switching supplementary feed off, ask:
👉Is there enough pasture available?
👉Is it providing enough energy and protein?
👉Are they getting the minerals they need, including enough magnesium?
👉What are the nutritional demands of the stock?
👉Are they maintaining condition and hitting your growth targets?
Mineral deficiencies can have serious consequences, including an increased risk of hypomagnesaemia when magnesium supply is inadequate.
Use pasture to do more of the work, just make sure it can actually do the job.
