MIN-AD Standard, a calcium magnesium carbonate supplement for dairy and beef cattle, is now available in bulk for feed mills served by the American Distribution & Manufacturing Corp. (ADMC) in St. Paul, Minn., according to David Briggs, president of Papillon Agricultural Co.

“Offering MIN-AD in bulk will reduce the per-ton cost for larger orders and greatly improve ease of handling,” Briggs said. “Papillon is pleased to provide this additional cost-effective option to our valued customers.”

MIN-AD is a palatable, naturally occurring source of calcium and magnesium that provides nutritional advantages to both dairies and feedlots, according to the announcement from Papillon. Incorporating MIN-AD into the ration reduces costs, provides effective buffering, promotes rumen microbial growth and improves dry matter intake and positive energy balance, Papillon said.

Founded in 1983, Papillon develops and produces premium nutritional products for dairy consultants, feed suppliers and dairy producers with the goal of maximizing feed efficiency at the farm level. In addition to MIN-AD, signature products include Dairyman’s Edge PRO, BaciFlex Clostridial Defense, Gemini Bypass Protein and Papillon Performance Proteins.
