Farmers Reveal Easy Ways To Keep Animals Healthy with Self Selected Minerals

Featuring: Gerard Grasser, Hugo Disler

For many years Hugo Disler has been making farmers aware of mineral stock supplementation for animals. He was an early on advocate of the ‘Pat Coleby lick’ and was one of few retailers in the 1970’s who supplied the basic ingredients for the lick. However through experience he realized, as Pat has, that offering individual choice was the way to go. Animals instinctively know what is best for them, so why not let them choose? Free choice supplementation is, according to Hugo, the easiest, quickest and most cost effective way to maximize animal health

The farmers featured in this “Walk the Talk” have all worked with Hugo over the years with the exception of Peter Armstrong who has worked with Gerhard Grasser. Apart from the discussion of the use of particular supplements and the results, each farmer has also been chosen to highlight the different types of feeders that they have so ingeniously designed and built.
