Good, healthy livestock starts with making the most of the grazing and pasture available throughout the year. However, veld alone may not always provide all the nutrients animals need to maintain condition, stay productive and perform at their best. With the right supplementary nutritional support, farmers can bridge these gaps and support optimal livestock health and performance year-round.

Feedtek’s Green Grazer Organic and Veldfos 90 Organic are designed to supplement natural grazing and help address nutritional shortfalls that may occur when livestock rely primarily on veld and other forage-based feed sources. By providing targeted mineral and nutritional supplementation, these products support optimal animal health, condition and productive performance.

Organic feed products are well suited to production systems where livestock graze on natural veld and forage. They offer farmers an option for supplementing the diet while supporting a more sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to livestock production.

Paul Collet farms in the Cradock district and has used Feedtek’s products for over 20 years. “Feedtek’s customer service and technical service expertise is brilliant. Having a local nutritionist is very valuable for us as farmers for our supplements as needed on the farm. The local Feedtek agent is also available to come to the farm and is involved with analysis.”

Paul uses Feedtek’s organic Green Grazer as part of his livestock nutrition programme and reports that he primarily uses the product to support reproductive performance and fertility in his livestock.

GREEN GRAZER 126 (Organic)

This product is ideal to support the maintenance and production requirements of cattle and small stock grazing on veld and green pastures. It contains high levels of magnesium to improve growth and fertility. The product’s high level of sulphur prevents prussic acid poisoning and bloat on lush green pastures.

Green Grazer Organic contains zinc, manganese and selenium in organic form. Organic trace minerals are 100% available to the animal, and utilisation is not influenced by levels of other minerals. This improves resistance against diseases and reproductive performance.

Why choose Green Grazer 126 (organic)?

  • Consistent grazing support: Formulated specifically to complement pasture-based systems and encourage steady intake.
  • Maintain animal condition: Helps prevent the “dip” in body condition often seen when grazing quality varies.
  • Optimised for beef cattle: Part of Feedtek’s comprehensive range of scientifically formulated beef cattle feed solutions.
  • Proven results: Built on Feedtek’s commitment to providing high-quality, reliable animal feed across South Africa.

This product contains no medicaments and is therefore suitable for horses, game and organic-certified farming.

VELDFOS 90 (Organic)

This product is highly concentrated and makes maximum use of locally produced raw materials while providing essential minerals and trace minerals at the same levels as traditional mineral supplements.

Veldfos 90 provides moderate levels of non-protein nitrogen (NPN), which supports rumen microbial protein production and efficient utilisation of forage, contributing to improved growth and milk production.

The product also contains vitamin A, together with organic zinc, manganese, copper and selenium. These essential trace minerals support immune response, metabolism, reproduction and fertility, helping to promote overall animal health and productive performance.

Why choose Veldfos 90 (Organic)?

  • Improved fertility: Targeted organic minerals support higher reproductive success in your herd.
  • Enhanced health: A comprehensive blend of zinc, manganese, copper and selenium boosts natural immunity and vitality.
  • Balanced nutrition: Provides essential protein and phosphate to supplement natural grazing.
