What is the Seleni-range?

The range of fertiliser are a special formulation providing an option for farmers to apply NPKS and selenium to grazing and silage swards.

Why use the Seleni-range?

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 the Seleni range 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.

  • Selenium is essential for animal health
  • Selenium deficiency is linked to infertility, retained placentas, ill thrift and a wide range of sub-clinical symptoms
  • Ireland is one of the most selenium deficient countries in the world
  • Irish pastures supply only 38% of the selenium requirements of an average lactating cow (TEAGASC 2013)
  • On average, the cow's complete diet provided only 58% of her requirement for selenium (TEAGASC 2013)
  • Trials in Ireland and the UK have proved that the Seleni range can elevate and sustain Selenium levels in pasture, forage and animal bloods for optimal health and performance

Why treat the soil with Seleni-range instead of treating the animal?
