Magnesium Sulphate

Important Information

• BENEFITS

  ​High-quality magnesium sulphate

  Suitable for addition to the drinking water or supplementary feed, or for daily oral drenching

• APPLICATION

  Magnesium sulphate is very soluble in water, so is generally only administered by an oral drench or through the drinking water (via an in-line dispenser, added to the central water supply or added directly to the water trough).
  
  Dose rates are generally 60-80g/cow/day for drenching and 60-100g/cow/day for water medication. It can be added to supplementary feeds, although its unfavourable taste makes magnesium oxide a better choice for feed medication. Magnesium sulphate is soluble in water so is compatible with drench guns, trough dispensers and in-line dispensers.

• COMPATIBILITY

  Dose rates over 100-120g/cow/day can cause scouring (diarrhoea).

• PACKAGING

  • Lined polypropylene bag.
  • UV-stabilised bags.
  • Sling pack of 40 x 25kg bags or pallet of 40 x 25kg bags (1 MT).
  • Sling packs are UV-stabilised.

• STORAGE

  Magnesium Sulphate is mildly irritant, so care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes. It tends to absorb moisture from the atmosphere so store in a cool, dry covered facility, and ensure that the bag is closed properly after use.
