Two years back, Kanters Special Products acquired the company Van Benthem Minerals, a specialist in minerals, trace elements and vitamins. With this acquisition, we also acquired a new range of products, mainly for the cattle sector. After extensive analysis of and familiarisation with these products on our side, we finally introduce the new product ranges to you.
Liquid minerals
Aquablend
The Aquablend range is a wonderful addition to our drinking water solutions for cattle. This complete solution of minerals and trace elements supports overall health and digestion, which will help your cows perform better.
Om jouw koeien te ondersteunen, hebben we nu twee extra drinkwateroplossingen voor extra sterke koeien: Aquablend Pro en Aquablend Dry Care. To support your cows, we now have two additional drinking water solutions for extra strong cows: Aquablend Pro and Aquablend Dry Care. Aquablend Pro is a perfect addition to a standard. Unfortunately, these still do not always contain enough minerals, so mineral deficiencies occur regularly-often dormant, in the form of, for example, a dull coat, poor milk production or sluggish animals.
Aquablend Dry Care has been specially developed to support dry cows. After all, these ladies deserve nothing better than the best preparation for the upcoming calving and lactation. Moreover, the trace elements also give the calf a good start in life.
By providing minerals in dissolved form and through the drinking water, they largely bypass the rumen and are better absorbed by the intestine. As a result, utilisation is very high, making a lower dose sufficient to meet the cow’s needs. Moreover, this way, mineral intake no longer depends on dry matter intake. After all, when animals don’t feel well, they often eat less while continuing to drink!
Calf Start
Besides solutions for adult cattle, we now also offer a liquid solution specifically to give calves a vital start: Calf Start. After all, minerals, trace elements and vitamins are essential for the growth and development of calves. Unfortunately, cow’s milk and artificial milk do not always contain the right ratio or amount of minerals, trace elements and vitamins. Calf Start boosts resistance, especially at a time when calves are prone to diarrhoea, weakening, respiratory infections and even death. Give your calves the best start with Calf Start!
LiquiBlend
Not sure yet whether you want to add minerals to your drinking water? Even then you are in good hands with us. LiquiBlend Pro and LiquiBlend Hoof help your cows perform optimally. These liquid mineral mixes can be dosed in the feed mixer or sprayed over the roughage at the feed fence. The advantage of liquid minerals? Dosing is easy, because it does not blow away like powder, and distribution through the feed is homogeneous, making it difficult for cows to select and also ensuring that the cow that may eat last still gets feed full of nutrients.
LiquiBlend Pro is optimised as an addition to the mixed base ration. Moreover, the sulphuric acid in LiquiBlend Pro promotes the growth of rumen bacteria, which in turn leads to better nutrient utilisation.
LiquiBlend Hoof contains minerals that play an essential role in growth and recovery of claw horns. After all, lame cows cost claws of money-not only in direct treatment, but also in missed yield in milk production. LiquiBlend Hoof pays extra attention to the claws and helps prevent discomfort and stress associated with lameness.
Nutrirocks: licks with minerals
Not only a rock-solid addition to the ration, but also a very practical one. You hang Nutrirocks licks (preferably close to a watering place) and your animals regulate their intake themselves. Nutrirocks licks are made of the world’s purest salt, supplemented with trace elements. The composition contains no harmful substances such as sugar, molasses, starch or extra iron. Nutrirocks licks do not wash away and are difficult to bite off.
