Beef Nutrition
A Focus on Bioavailability optimizes your investment.
Trace minerals and vitamins from QualiTech help your beef cattle improve performance in a variety of important ways including optimal growth, immunity, hoof health and reproduction. QualiTech products also provide essential components for your animals’ enzymes, hormones and cells.
Our line of rumen-protected nutrients help ensure that the investment you make in nutrition is getting where it needs to go—and doing what it needs to do.

SQM™ Copper
SQM™ Copper is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
Copper is an essential trace mineral for all stages of production throughout an animal’s life. Critical functions of copper include reproduction, immunity, bone formation and maturity, iron metabolism, cellular respiration, hair and wool pigmentation, and lipid metabolism.
To keep animals healthy and productive it is necessary to ensure they are able to consume and absorb enough copper from the diet to meet the needs of these critical functions. The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that the copper you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM™ Iron
SQM Iron is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
Iron has been recognized as a required trace mineral since ancient times, and iron deficiency is probably the most common deficiency disease affecting swine. Although iron deficiency is not of any real concern in other livestock species, it is required in the diet to maintain bodily functions. Many biochemical reactions in the body require iron, particularly those involved in electron and oxygen transport. In addition, iron plays a key role in two of the enzymes that breakdown peroxide molecules, thus helping the animal stay healthy.
The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that the iron you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM™ Magnesium
SQM™ Magnesium is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
Magnesium is the only macro-mineral product produced by QualiTech. Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in an animal’s body and is found largely in the bones and teeth. However, in addition to these structural roles, magnesium is necessary for many of the enzymes involved with energy metabolism, protein synthesis, muscular contraction, immunity, and possibly even reproduction.
A common disease resulting from magnesium deficiency is grass tetany. This can occur even when a high magnesium supplement is fed simply because the animal does not consume the supplement due to the bad taste associated with magnesium oxide. Replacing some of the magnesium oxide with SQM™ magnesium can help to alleviate this problem.
The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that the magnesium you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM™ Manganese
SQM™ Manganese is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
Manganese is considered a dietary essential for all animals, and deficiencies have been noted in swine, poultry, and ruminants fed diets formulated with normal feed ingredients. While the dietary requirement for manganese may seem low, it plays a vital role in many physiological functions including, but not limited to: reproduction, immunity, bone growth, enzyme activity, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
Keeping your animals healthy and productive is your goal. The proven bioavailability of SQM protected trace minerals™ helps ensure that the manganese you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM™ Zinc
SQM™ Zinc is approved for use in all classes of livestock, pets, and aquaculture.
One of the most extensively studied trace minerals over the last 30 years, zinc is associated with over 300 metalloenzymes with functions throughout the animal’s body. Zinc is also intimately associated with a number of hormones, thus playing an important role in both the male and female during reproduction. In addition, zinc is necessary for proper growth, skeletal formation, skin and wound healing, and immunity.
Because zinc has so many diverse roles, it is imperative that animals consume enough zinc daily to meet their body’s needs for growth, reproduction, and immunity. The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that the zinc you provide your animals is absorbed and used.
SQM™ Repro-4-Mins
SQM™ Repro-4-Mins is a formulation of zinc, manganese, iron, copper and cobalt. This combination, specially formulated for beef and dairy cattle, provides support for a number of key factors in reproduction and overall animal performance including: optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, optimal first-service conception, minimal days open, excellent hoof health, maximum milk production, and strong immune function.

SQM™ 4 S/R
SQM™ 4 S/R is a nutritional source of polysaccharide complexed trace minerals for use with shipping and receiving beef cattle. The formulation includes zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that these trace minerals are protected until they reach the site of optimal absorption and utilization in your animals.
SQM™ 4 S/R helps nourish and strengthen your beef cattle to promote: optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, excellent hoof health, and strong immune function.
SQM™ Ranch Repro-4-Mins
SQM™ Ranch Repro-4-Mins is a nutritional source of polysaccharide complexed trace minerals specially formulation to support the health and performance of beef cows on pasture. The formulation includes zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. The proven bioavailability of SQM™ protected trace minerals helps ensure that these trace minerals are protected until they reach the site of optimal absorption in your animals.
SQM™ 4 S/R helps nourish and strengthen your beef cows to promote: optimum overall animal health, robust reproductive performance, optimal first-service conception, minimal days open, excellent hoof health, maximum milk production, and strong immune function
BOVI-LYSINE™
BOVI-LYSINE™ rumen-protected lysine is an alternative to feeding blood meal or other lysine sources. Validated at the University of New Hampshire by Charles G. Schwab, Ph.D., BOVI-LYSINE™ is 47% rumen-protected lysine and delivers 12.69 grams of intestinally-available lysine per 100 grams of product fed. When comparing the product price based on the 27% bioavailability, BOVI-LYSINE™ is one of the most economical rumen-protected lysine products available.
