It is a well-known fact that phosphorous (P) supplementation is essential to achieve good growth and reproduction of farm animals on grazing that is deficient in P. High intakes of a P lick are therefore important to ensure sufficient P intakes. Intake is however often a problem, especially in high-rainfall areas, because licks that have become wet is often unpalatable and can even become mouldy. To overcome the problems in high-rainfall areas, Yara Animal Nutrition SA developed PhosSure. PhosSure is a weather resistant (forms a hard protective crust which is easily broken by animals whenever rain falls on the product) phosphate trace-mineral supplement and concentrate enriched with a molasses by-product that gives it a distinctive molasses smell and taste to ensure sufficient P intake.

PhosSure 6 & 12

·        Is weather resistant due to the inclusion of a unique spray-dried molasses by-product.

·        Forms a protective layer to limit rain damage and prevent lick losses.

·        Increases production and fertility.

·        Improve growth and skeletal development.

·        Contains increased levels of the most important trace minerals in the correct ratio to phosphorous.
