Balancing calcium and minerals for cattle on corn by-product diets
When your cattle's diet includes corn co-products like distillers grains or gluten feed, phosphorus levels run high—creating an imbalance with calcium. Hi‑Cal Mineral is designed as a pelleted supplement without added phosphorus, restoring the ideal Ca:P ratio. It also includes thiamin to offset sulfur issues common in corn by-products, and chelated trace minerals for enhanced absorption.
Cattle feeding on distillers grains, corn gluten feed, wet/dry gluten, or wheat midds
Backgrounding or finishing cattle relying heavily on co-product feeds
Herds needing balanced calcium levels, plus improved mineral uptake through chelated sources
Form: Pelleted mineral supplement
Intake: Provide free-choice—pellet form encourages consistent intake without sorting
Placement: Offer alongside corn by-products; cattle typically adjust consumption to balance their diet naturally
Work with your nutritionist to fine-tune intake levels based on your specific diet and production goals
Restores Ca:P balance in high-phosphorus diets
Includes thiamin to counteract sulfur-associated metabolic stress
Uses chelated trace minerals (copper, zinc, manganese) for better bioavailability
Eliminates redundant phosphorus—no over-supplementing
Format: Pelleted mineral
Phosphorus: Contains no added phosphorus
Minerals: Key chelated minerals for improved nutrition
Additions: Includes thiamin, vitamins, and salt
Hi‑Cal Mineral is the smart mineral choice for corn co-product-heavy diets. By correcting calcium imbalances, supporting sulfur metabolism, and delivering highly absorbable trace minerals, it ensures healthier, more efficient cattle performance on finishing or backgrounding programs.
