Quality and quantity of grazing
Weight and age of animal
Stage of pregnancy or lactation
Pregnancy condition (singles/twins/triplets)

Summer early summer grazing supplies nearly all the nutrients required by animals
Phosphorous deficiency (Pica), Ca sufficient (with exceptions)
Na low
Mg, K sufficient
Winter
Seasonal Protein and Protein & Energy deficiencies occur during later summer and winter, respectively
Natura l graz ing in South Afr ica
Summer season
High feed availability
High growth rates
High production levels
Most cows (>60%) would have calved within the 1st
30d of the calving season

What about the high producing cow;
- the cow that weans one heavy calf annually and has conceived during the October mating season?
Nutr i Profos 10 – V17567
Palatable cost-effective P and trace mineral supplement for high producing animals on green grazing
A proportion of the important trace minerals is in the organically bound form
Better absorption, promoting immunity, fertility and growth
Contains 10% Crude Protein
Can be mixed with other feedstuffs
Also available as Nutri Profos 20 to be mixed 1:1 with coarse salt.
N u t r i t i o n a l m a n a ge m e nt d u r i n g t h e l ate s u m m e r, t ra n s i t i o n p e r i o d
As grazing matures and green grazing becomes dryer, the nutritional value of the grazing deteriorates
Protein, in addition to P becomes limiting in maintaining body condition of the breeding animal
Using Trans i t ion l i cks
Move from P only to gradual inclusion of Protein
RDP, urea containing licks
Contains less urea than a winter lick and allows for adaptation
Supply 50-100g of protein and 6-9g of P per day
Limit weight and condition loss
START as soon as P-lick’s intake increases
Trans i t ion l i cks
Ideally feed the Winterlick in combination with Phosphorous;
Pasture will be mature but still green;

Winter supplementat ion
Most nutrients are limited in winter grazing
Intake of poor quality grazing is low - unpalatable
Breeding females are pregnant and high nutrient requirements of late gestation coincides with the poor quality of the grazing
Supplement

Pregnant and lactat ing animals
Cows calved and requires additional nutrients for lactation for which the grazing is inferior before the rain season starts;
When the intake of protein licks start to increase, the switch should be made to a production lick.

CONCLUSION
Grazing is characterized by seasonal nutrient deficiencies;
A three phase lick supplementation program yields good results
1. P
2. P+Protein
3. Production licks
