Nutrition Resources for Producers.

Taurus Resources

Taurus Premix provides practical, evidence-based nutrition tools to help producers make better decisions in the field. From mineral programs to seasonal management tips, these resources are built to simplify your workflow and support healthier, more productive livestock.

Livestock Nutrition Resources:

Nutrition is essential for the health and performance of all livestock, whether you have beef, dairy, sheep, goats, bison, or mixed herds. Factors like forage quality, mineral levels, weather, and changes in production all affect how animals absorb nutrients. A well-designed mineral program can enhance herd health, improve efficiency, and help avoid costly issues.

These resources are intended to simplify nutrition for you. Each guide takes proven research concepts and transforms them into easy-to-use tools: from understanding mineral combinations to adjusting feeding during seasonal changes. Whether you’re analyzing forage tests, selecting a mineral tub, or addressing low intake, this page provides the information you need to move forward confidently.

  • Enhance mineral accuracy based on forage and water quality
  • Boost immunity, reproduction, and growth
  • Avoid the risks of under- or over-supplementing throughout the year
  • Ensure steady intake across grazing, drylot, and mixed systems
  • Maximize your mineral investments with smart placement and usage

Spring Production Checklist

  • Review early-season mineral program to support immunity and performance.
  • Assess body condition ahead of breeding or high-demand production phases.
  • Transition from winter mineral sources to pasture-ready formulations.
  • Ensure adequate mineral availability for all livestock groups.

Summer Pasture Checklist
