With livestock prices at near record highs, it makes perfect sense that livestock producers want to give their animals the best nutritional supplements on offer.

With livestock prices at near record highs, it makes perfect sense that livestock producers want to give their animals the best nutritional supplements on offer.

Producers are not only looking to maximise productivity, but they also give a high priority to maintaining the health of their animals by using premium products, says Mirza Hodzic, general manager for Provico Rural.

He said using high quality Australian dairy ingredients to manufacture their milk replacers and other nutritional products is what makes Provico stand out from the rest.

“Founded in 2003 and owned by locals with generations of farming experience, means Provico understands the distinct needs of Australian farmers.

“Our mission is to improve grower productivity by prioritising the health of their animals.

“Utilising the best raw materials and developing formulas to optimise livestock health, means producers and resellers alike can rest assured they have the best product for the job,” he said.

Provico supplies milk replacers as well as vitamin-fortified products, with their flagship brand, Profelac, sold and supplied by resellers nationwide.

“Profelac Gold for example, is a proven performer,” Mr Hodzic said. “It is a medicated calf milk replacer specifically formulated to meet the essential needs of calves.

“It consistently performs in all calf rearing systems, including intensive calf rearing operations, saleyard calves and under pressure in calf sheds where the risk of disease is high.

“Profelac Gold is suitable for rearing all dairy and beef breeds for the start of lifetime performance. It’s easy to mix and is made with Australian dairy ingredients, our infant milk replacer is unsurpassed in terms of quality and performance.

“Quality calf nutrition is at the core of our philosophy. Working with innovative research teams, we strive to deliver products that promote the healthy growth and development of herds.”

For a quicker response and turnaround in young animals, Mr Hodzic said Profestart Electrolyte Powder is an ideal solution. “It’s a non-antibiotic isotonic energy and electrolyte supplement for calves, foals, lambs, kids, crias, piglets, and even dogs and cats.

“Profestart Electrolyte Powder is ideal as a first feed for brought-in or stressed calves, lambs, and pigs, and can be used as a supplement for racing animals. It also represents exceptional value versus bicarb-based alternatives.”

Mr Hodzic said resellers can be confident that Provico’s range of innovative feed supplements will deliver real benefits for their farmer customers.

“Our products are based on high-quality local dairy ingredients, backed by research, and supported by our local technical and sales staff. When using Provico feed supplements – you can’t go wrong!”
