Shamrock Beef Special 5% Phos
Shamrock Beef Special delivers macro-minerals (calcium and phosphorous), trace elements and vitamins to the animal in concentrations essential to this critical finishing period.
Contains:
- Shamrock Beef Special contains two types of seaweed for efficient delivery of the micronutrients and for stabilising the rumen environment.
- Shamrock Beef Special contains high levels of phosphorous (5%)
Features:
- Phosphorous regulates calcium balance and stimulates dry matter intake
- The seaweed based rumen stabiliser (Lithothamnium calcareum) present in Shamrock Beef Finisher maintains the correct pH and has 2.5 times the buffering capacity of sodium bicarbonate
- The substantial buffering capacity of seaweed in Shamrock Supplements neutralises more acid overtime for improved feed utilisation and subsequent performance.
- Designed to provide the highest level of micronutrients in a highly palatable format to support transition management of the animal.
- Feeding rate of 100g per head per day for a minimum of 60 days prior to slaughter.
Why use Shamrock Beef Special:
- Key Supplement for growth and better feed conversion to muscle.
- Higher levels of phosphorous stimulates greater feed intake for greater daily gains.
- To allow a smooth adaptation of the rumen to changes in diet:
- Elongation of ruminal papilla.
- Change in ruminal bacteria from cellulolytic to amylolytic.
- Change in ruminal bacteria to lactate-utilising bacteria.

Why Seaweed?
1. SEAWEED BASED
Seaweed is the unrivalled multi-supplement, which delivers a blend of natural nutrients that can be deficient from soils and feed. Seaweed contains over 60 minerals, and trace elements, vitamins, carbohydrates, amino acids, essential fatty acids, natural bioactive hormones, growth factors and anti-oxidants.
The ocean contains a constant reservoir of micronutrients that are absorbed by seaweed and stored within the algae in a protected, colloidal state. This colloidal structure means that > 98% of all the micronutrients are absorbed in the animal allowing them to fulfil their diverse range of functions.
Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed
Health Benefits of Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed to Animals:
- Provides minerals, trace elements and vitamins necessary for all biochemical reactions in animals for growth, performance and disease resistance.
- Promotes the condition of the gut by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes, supporting the absorption of nutrients, and promoting the growth of favourable bacteria
- Allows the animal to utilise forage and feed more efficiently
- Enhances the immune system
- Contains natural antioxidants
- Improves metabolic processes
- Supports the cardiovascular system
2. Contain RUMEN BUFFERS:
Keeps the rumen at the optimal pH for growth and development

Lithothamnium Calcaerum:
- A red algae that breaks down slowly in the rumen
- 2.5 times the buffering capacity of NaHCO3
- Brings the pH of the rumen back to 6.3 sooner after eating
- Neutralises more acid over a longer period of time
- Improves fibre digestion for improved performance
