Better health, better nutrition.
Just as important for cows as you.

Everybody knows proper nutrition is an essential key to health. The same is true for your dairy herd. At Novus we've always approached cattle health with an eye toward total nutrition. And we have the science to help you, your nutritionist and your veterinarian approach it that way, too.

Less Really is More.

BioOptimized™ Minerals Provide Same Results and More Efficiency with Less Product

You expect results from trace minerals. Results in immune system function, reproductive efficiency, milk production, hoof and bone strength, connective tissue strength, multiple enzyme activities and oxidative balance. What if you could expect the same (or even better) results with less mineral product? And on top of these results, have less mineral waste through loss in excretion? With the BioOptimized™ Trace Minerals program from Novus International, Inc., you benefit from more efficiency without sacrificing any performance expectations.
