Optimal vitamins and minerals for an efficient dairy and beef production

Vitamins and minerals represent a small part only of the feed for ruminants; yet these nutrients are essential to achieving top productivity. Vitamins facilitate most biological processes, whereas minerals act as building blocks. Minerals build tissues and are, furthermore, essential for enzymes and biological processes.

Vilofoss specialises in vitamins and minerals, and we are experts in formulating the right feed for your dairy or beef production, based on your individual needs.
