When fed with the energy rich licking block the rumen microbial fermentation is stimulated thereby increasing the intake and digestibility of forage. Due to this unique effect CRYSTALYX offers an ideal combination of high quality energy, ® minerals, trace elements and vitamins. The weather-proof product with a dry matter content of at least 95% is made without compaction pressure and without a heat chemical reaction. PAGE 2

WHY FEED CRYSTALYX ? CRYSTALYX Due to the fact that forages are very variable in quality and quantity, energy supplementation is necessary. CRYSTALYX® is an easily managed and palatable form of energy that feeds the rumen flora which in turn utilises the nutritional value of forages with improved efficiency, therefore assisting farmers in making better use of their own forages. Grass/winter forages are very poor sources of minerals, trace elements and vitamins in general, and in particular, copper, zinc, selenium, iodine and cobalt. In addition, the continued improvements in grassland productivity through the increasing use of perennial rye grasses and more intensive fertiliser practises have further depressed the grass mineral content.

CRYSTALYX CATTLE BOOSTER For Dairy Metabolisable Energy = 12.0 MJ/kgDM In striving to maximise milk output from grass the important factor is to ensure that high levels of dry matter intake are maintained on a daily basis. This is often difficult given the vagaries of the weather and pasture quality. Crystalyx® encourages increased dry matter intake levels and therefore needs to be in front of the stock at all times. ® UP TO 20 LITRES OF MILK PER COW PER DAY can be achieved from grazing and Crystalyx if managed carefully. The trace elements, minerals and vitamins, which are licked along with the energy and protein ensure that the health of the cows is maintained with particular reference to reproductive system. Feeding in the parlour ® Feeding Crystalyx in the parlour is achieved by placing the 22.5 kg Mini-tub in the parlour feed trough either as a whole or as a half depending on the space available. It may be that a proportion of the milking cows require some concentrate feeding due to the level of milk output but this can continue on top of the licks. Feeding guidelines ® Place one TUBLYX to 15 cows. Crystalyx intakes approx 200 g/day depending on grass availability and quality. 2 Tublyx will last 30 cows approx. 28 days 2 Mini-tubs will last 20 cows approx. 12 days Somatic cell counts The inclusion of zinc in the diet of a milking cow has been shown to reduce the somatic cell counts and it is believed that the ability to repair cell tissue is enhanced. Reduced lameness The effect of zinc on horn growth helps to reduce the risk of lameness, which is one of the main reasons for culling cows and as a result, has a significant cost impact on the profits of the dairy herd. Fertility Both selenium and copper have an important role in improving the fertility of dairy cows whether in generating a stronger “oestrus spark” or improving conception rates or reducing embryonic mortality. Feed CATTLE BOOSTER post calving until cows are confirmed in calf at the minimum. Acid Silage ® Feeding Crystalyx CATTLE BOOSTER has been shown to help buffer wet, acidic silages so stimulating intakes and milk yields. More Money from forage! Improves growth rate. Boosts forage intake by 13%. Increase conception rates in bulling heifers. Boosts forage digestability by 10% AND dry matter intake by 15%. Research proven in the UK and around the world.

PRE-CALVER CRYSTALYX For top performance dairy and beef cows Magnesium = 7.0%; Zinc = 3,000 mg/kg; Iodine = 200 mg/kg; Selenium = 20 mg/kg; Copper = 1,000 mg/kg; Vitamin E = 1000 mg/kg. PRE-CALVER licks are ideal for feeding to dry cows because they provide a low calcium/high magnesium diet which greatly assists in avoiding milk fever at calving. Magnesium also helps to improve muscle tone. Inadequate level can lead to slow calving syndrome where calvings can be very difficult and calf losses occur. In addition, the energy, protein and high level trace element content of the PRE-CALVER will assist in helping the cow to retrieve her condition prior to calving. PRE-CALVER helps improve conception rates by replenishing body reserves pre-calving. Feeding guidelines It is recommended that low quality forages are fed to dry-cows – this ensures that they avoid becoming fat. The high sugar level of 32% in PRE-CALVER ensures the rumen continues to work hard during the dry period. At the point of calving/ milking the rumen is adjusted to digesting large quantities of good quality forage and concentrates which increases early milk yields and peak yields – something dry cow minerals will never achieve. Many dry cows receive no special attention during this most important period and are often expected to graze pastures in a clearing up role. For a very small investment in PRE-CALVER the forage diet can be supplemented to ensure there are no nutritional deficiencies and help the dry cow to recover to optimum condition prior to calving. 2 Tublyx will last 30 cows approx. 28 days 2 Mini-tubs will last 20 cows approx. 12 days The perfect partner for dry cow management Supports and maintains a strong healthy immune system. Improves calf health and vigour (more get up and go). Reduces the risk of milk fever and slow calving. Reduce the incidence of retained placenta and mastitis. Enhances post-calving conception rates.
