Vitec Stock Supplements are designed to be added into your animal health rotation – with the goal to boost overall health and wellbeing. Ideally Vitec stock supplements are made available on a fortnightly bases.

How to Administer Vitec Stock Supplements

There are various ways to administer Vitec Stock Supplements, below we have outlined the 4 most common methods. We recommend selecting a method that works alongside your current operation ie if you are getting you animals into the yards on a regular bases then drenching may be the best option for you. If you animal are use to self administering, for example they have access to free choice minerals, then a Vitec Eezy Feeder might work best for you. Alternatively a mixed approach can also be highly effective.

utilisation and accuracy.

Adding to Feed: Spray over hay or other dry food. Some extra Molasses
can to be added initially to increase acceptance.

Adding to the Water: If using this method, dosing should be carried out early in the day to ensure as even uptake as possible. Note not appropriate for Cod Liver Oil
