At Specialist Nutrition, we provide high-performance dairy cow minerals and supplements to support herd health, fertility and productivity. Our tailored solutions are designed to prevent nutritional imbalances and keep your cows performing at their best throughout the year.
We place particular focus on dry cow minerals and pre-calver supplements, which are essential for a smooth transition into lactation. Correct nutrition during the dry period helps reduce the risk of milk fever, ketosis, and other metabolic diseases, setting cows up for stronger health and higher milk yields in the next cycle.
Our supplements complement mineral programmes to optimise energy balance, immune function, and reproductive performance, helping progressive dairy farmers get the most from every cow while protecting long-term herd health.
As Ireland’s #1 advisor in dairy nutrition, our team goes beyond supply. We provide expert on-farm support, designing mineral and supplement programmes tailored to your herd’s specific needs, forage availability and production goals.
