Bioavailability for optimal performance at every stage.
Trace minerals and vitamins from QualiTech help your dairy cattle improve performance in a variety of important ways, including optimal growth, immunity, hoof health, and reproduction. QualiTech products also provide essential components for your animals’ enzymes, hormones, and cells.
Our line of rumen-protected nutrients helps ensure that the investment you make in nutrition is getting where it needs to go—and doing what it needs to do. SQM protected minerals™ provide optimal bioavailability to preserve the integrity of trace minerals until they reach the point of absorption.
ANEVIS® Rumen-Protected Niacin
ANEVIS rumen-protected niacin helps ensure that your investment in niacin gets where it is supposed to go—and does what it is supposed to do for your dairy cows.
Using a complex lipid matrix, ANEVIS protects the niacin from rumen microbial organisms that typically degrade raw niacin. Research indicates that 66.7% of the niacin found in ANEVIS is delivered to the small intestine—and ANEVIS provides nearly 8 times the amount of niacin delivered to the bloodstream compared to raw niacin.
ANEVIS (ah-NEE-vis) is inspired by the Latin word nevis, meaning “no stress”—and reducing stress is the primary benefit of adding niacin to the rations of high-producing dairy cows. Unfortunately, as much as 95% of raw niacin may be broken down by rumen microflora before it ever reaches the small intestine, where it’s actually absorbed. As a result, dairy farmers have been forced to choose between feeding large amounts of raw niacin, hoping enough will make it through, or not adding any niacin at all to the rations of stressed cattle—which is certainly costing producers money. That difficult and expensive choice has been eliminated with ANEVIS rumen-protected niacin from QualiTech.
SQM® 4 Dairy
Formulated especially for dairy cows, SQM 4 Dairy contains polysaccharide complexes of four important trace minerals: zinc, manganese, copper, and cobalt.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that these trace minerals are protected until they reach the site of optimal absorption in your dairy cattle.
SQM 4 Dairy nourishes and strengthens dairy cows in key performance areas, including optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, optimal first-service conception, minimal days open, excellent hoof health, maximum milk production, and strong immune function.
SQM® Copper
Critical functions of copper include reproduction, immunity, bone formation and maturity, iron metabolism, cellular respiration, hair and wool pigmentation, and lipid metabolism.
Copper is an essential trace mineral for all stages of production throughout an animal’s life.
To keep animals healthy and productive, it is necessary to ensure they are able to consume and absorb enough copper from the diet to meet the needs of these critical functions. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the copper you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Copper is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Iron
Iron has been recognized as a required trace mineral since ancient times, and iron deficiency is probably the most common deficiency disease affecting swine.
Although iron deficiency is not of any real concern in other livestock species, it is required in the diet to maintain bodily functions. Many biochemical reactions in their body require iron, particularly those involved in electron and oxygen transport. In addition, iron plays a key role in two of the enzymes that break down peroxide molecules, thus helping the animal stay healthy.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the iron you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Iron is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in an animal’s body and is found largely in the bones and teeth.
However, in addition to these structural roles, magnesium is necessary for many of the enzymes involved with energy metabolism, protein synthesis, muscular contraction, immunity, and possibly even reproduction. Magnesium is the only macro-mineral product produced by QualiTech.
A common disease resulting from magnesium deficiency is grass tetany. This can occur even when a high magnesium supplement is fed simply because the animal does not consume the supplement due to the bad taste associated with magnesium oxide. Replacing some of the magnesium oxide with SQM magnesium can help to alleviate this problem.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the magnesium you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Magnesium is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Manganese
Manganese is considered a dietary essential for all animals, and deficiencies have been noted in swine, poultry, and ruminants that are fed diets formulated with normal feed ingredients.
While the dietary requirement for manganese may seem low, it plays a vital role in many physiological functions, including, but not limited to, reproduction, immunity, bone growth, enzyme activity, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism.
Keeping your animals healthy and productive is your goal. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the manganese you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Manganese is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Zinc
One of the most extensively studied trace minerals over the last 30 years, zinc is associated with over 300 metalloenzymes with functions throughout the animal’s body.
Zinc is also intimately associated with a number of hormones, thus playing an important role in both the male and female during reproduction. In addition, zinc is necessary for proper growth, skeletal formation, skin and wound healing, and immunity.
Because zinc has so many diverse roles, it is imperative that animals consume enough zinc daily to meet their body’s needs for growth, reproduction, and immunity. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that the zinc you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM Zinc is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
SQM® Repro-4-Mins
SQM Repro-4-Mins is a formulation of zinc, manganese, iron, copper, and cobalt.
This combination, specially formulated for beef and dairy cattle, provides support for a number of key factors in reproduction and overall animal performance, including optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, optimal first-service conception, minimal days open, excellent hoof health, maximum milk production, and strong immune function.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that these trace minerals are protected until they reach the site of optimal absorption in your animals.
SQM® 4 S/R
SQM 4 S/R is a nutritional source of polysaccharide complexed trace minerals for use with shipping and receiving beef cattle. The formulation includes zinc, manganese, copper, and cobalt.
The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals helps ensure that these trace minerals are protected until they reach the site of optimal absorption and utilization in your animals.
SQM 4 S/R helps nourish and strengthen your beef cattle to promote: optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, excellent hoof health, and strong immune function.
BOVI-LYSINE™
BOVI-LYSINE rumen-protected lysine is an alternative to feeding blood meal or other lysine sources.
Validated at the University of New Hampshire by Charles G. Schwab, Ph.D., BOVI-LYSINE is 47% rumen-protected lysine and delivers 12.69 grams of intestinally-available lysine per 100 grams of product fed. When comparing the product price based on the 27% bioavailability, BOVI-LYSINE is one of the most economical rumen-protected lysine products available.
