Pasture / feed analysis

Import a lab report to base the mineral and trace-element risks on your own pasture. It’s shared with Feed analysis too.

Example pasture. Import a Hill Labs or Eurofins report (here or in Feed analysis) to see risks for your own pasture.

Facial eczema — preventive zinc

Zinc oxide

12.0g/head/day

Elemental zinc

9.6g/head/day

At 20 mg zinc/kg liveweight/day for a 480 kg beast. Start 2–3 weeks before spore counts rise and continue through the danger period.

Zinc is toxic in excess (and poisoning looks like facial eczema). Don’t exceed this preventive rate or dose longer than ~100 days without veterinary advice.

Metabolic & mineral risk

Grass staggers1.4 ✓Ca / P2.1 ✓DCAD269 !K / Na12 !

DCAD slightly high — worth watching for springers. Milk fever (DCAD) matters most for springers; grass staggers for lactating stock.

Trace elements

No trace elements on this analysis. Import a Eurofins report (which includes copper, cobalt, selenium and more) to assess trace-element status here.

Indicative risk model for decision support — thresholds follow DairyNZ / NZ trace-element guidance and are being confirmed. Not a substitute for a vet.
