Selenistart is a grassland fertilisers enriched with granular selenium specifically formulated to raise selenium in pasture and forage to optimum levels for livestock health.
Selenium is a vital trace element and is required by all animals. The natural route for selenium intake by ruminant animals is from their green feed diet. The selenium in Selenistart is a slow release granular form of selenium, which is the natural solution to boost low plant selenium levels. Selenium is released throughout the plant growing cycle boosting the selenium content at harvest or during grazing.

Grazing | Applying a minimum of 4 bags/acre/yr of Selenistart over the grazing season will help to correct your selenium deficiency. If the above amount of Selenistart has not been spread, this product can be used in conjunction with Selenigrass (CAN+Se) as part of a programme whereby 4 bags/acre of either product or a combination of both are spread early in the grazing season. |
Silage | Selenistart can be used to replace Granular Urea for applications on silage crops. Selenistart will help to raise the selenium content of the silage. |
