Optimise Livestock Health and Performance

Downland launched a new look and a new name for a range of molassed supplement buckets!

Our Opti-Mol range is specially formulated to match a wide range of on-farm feeding systems and are the perfect way of supplementing livestock whilst reducing labour demands.

Ideal supplementation for grazing cattle and sheep to help support target growth rates, health, fertility and aid in the prevention of animal health issues such as grass staggers, lameness and mastitis.

  • Formulated with high quality raw materials and using the most readily available sources of micro-nutrients.

  • Developed using the latest research to ensure that each bucket provides the recommended levels of minerals, trace elements and vitamins for optimal livestock health and performance.

Speaking with your Local McCaskie Sales Representative or in any of our Country Stores we will provide unbiased advice and personalised solutions to meet your individual farm needs.
