What is VITA-GRASS?

VITA-GRASS adds small amounts of selenium, cobalt and iodine to every granule of your standard grazing and silage fertiliser. The micro-nutrients are finely milled and use an electro-static charge to adhere to the granules.

Why use VITA-GRASS?

  • Contains selenium, cobalt and iodine, all vital micro-nutrients for animals
  • Even coating across 100% of the fertiliser granules provide equal nutrient distribution in the
    soil, avoiding cluster hotspots
  • Contains dual-action forms of nutrient for early uptake and extended availability
  • Improving soil levels is a low cost way to provide long-term supplementation

Why is VITA-GRASS different to granular micro-nutrients?

Every fertiliser granule within the grazing and silage grade contains selenium, cobalt and iodine giving typically 50 times more interception points than granular micro-nutrients.

Focus on Cobalt

Cobalt

  • 75% of grassland soils are low in cobalt
  • Life-essential for livestock animals in micro quantities
  • Needed for B12, energy and protein metabolism and has a key role in nerve, blood systems and auto-immunity
  • On average, forage provides only 60% of the minimum dietary Co requirement
Focus on Iodine

Iodine

  • Life-essential for animals in micro quantities
  • Crucial in the thyroid gland producing hormones that regulate growth, development and metabolism
  • Vital role in immunity and nervous systems
  • Deficiencies include Goitre, hypothyroidism and cognitive impairment
Focus on Selenium

Selenium

  • UK soils are amongst the lowest in the world for
    bio-available Se 
  • Life-essential for all animals in micro quantities
  • Acts as an anti-oxidant and improves immunity,
    thyroid and sperm function
  • On average, forage provides <70% of the
    minimum dietary Se requirement
