Millers Forest, NSW, 2324

Sorghum was set during the drought on 8th December, 2006 in a formerly low productive paddock even with the regular use of conventional fertilizers that had minimal effect.

Following a consultation with TNN Agent Bill Munton of Millers Forest, a suitable program was organized to improve the crop yields of this paddock which has resulted in a most favourable outcome.

The seed was first inoculated with TNN's Seed Energiser and set in a well prepared seed bed fertilized to Bills recommendation.

The crop has attained an average height of 2.6 meters with dense, juicy stems. It has been hand cut and fed to the cattle with the entire stalk and leaf eagerly devoured leaving absolutely no waste.

For three years we have also used TNN's Mineral Supplement for cattle with outstanding success. It has proved to be a major benefit to the well being of the herd.

Daniel & Melissa Fenning,

We have been breeding and showing Boer goats for close to three years. Through the drought, we have found it very hard to keep our stock in top condition and had many problems with health being on only small acres. We would have good months and some bad ones, we just could not find the right balance of products. We had heard of a couple of people speak of a product "TNN Mineral Plus A D & E with Extra Selenium" so we gave them a call and thought we'd try it.

From the first dose they had, we noticed that their coats had straightened out, and then in particular with our bucks they started to put on weight even though our feeding had not changed.

We have now been using the Mineral Drench for just on 12 months and would have only worm drenched our animals 4 times where as before it would be every 6 weeks. So worm drenching has been halved and we have not had a sick goat, so no vet. We have been hand feeding so a lot of grain and while this tends to cause problems in bucks we have had none.

We have had some pastern problems and were getting ready to cull animals but within 3-4 weeks of using this they were back up, and have gone on to win a number of shows.

The best results would be last years kid drop, we had our largest kids born on less grain feed than the year before and kids were putting on close to 10kg a month, so it enables them to utilize feed better. I recommend it to any animal breeder.

Robyn Butson,
Sweet Honesty Arabians

As a devoted Arabian horse breeder, I am very fanatical about my feeding programme for mares, stallion and foals. When I read about TNN Mineral Supplement for Horses, of course I had to enquire further. I was hesitant at the initial cost and not knowing much about this product, but it has proved its worth in gold. I can see the beneifts in my breeding horses and most importantly in the aged horses I care for. One aged mare in particular wasn't putting on condition at all. Determined to save this dear old mare I increased her feed resume and started her on TNN. She has now put on condition, holding it and looking so healthy. I can only say that since dosing my horses with TNN for the past ten months, all my horses are glowing, and doing so well. The results are showing now and I will definitely will keep all my horses on this supplement. I also find it convenient that you only have to dose them with it about every six weeks, it certainly has worked well.

Paul & Leona Sherd,
"Glenvista" Santa Gertrudas Stud,
Ballengarra, NSW, 2441

Over the years we noticed a reduction in pasture response to usual recommended fertilizer inputs, increased soil compaction and thistles. We followed TNN's soil audit and TNN consultant, Ludwig Muellers advise, we subsoil, aerated for winter pasture and incorporated on 10 ha 1000 kg solid TNN FCMP, blended with 250 kg TNN Formula 1 Soil Microbes. In two foliage spray applications we liquified in total 175 kg TNN Powdered Lime mixed with 20 Litre Nutrient Mix and 60 Litres of TNN NP 20/20, total program at cost of $250 / hectare / year. Out come was less rust on ryegrass and oats, multiple grazing, one silage cut on winter pasture and one on summer pasture, all up with 415 silage round bales! Soil now feels soft under foot with reduced and smaller thistles, red clover established first time.

Scott & Leanne Harry,

We introduced "TNN Mineral Plus" Liquid Chelated Mineral and Trace Element Supplement with extra strength Selenium into our Dairy's winterfeed program, choosing the "spray on option" every six weeks into Silage and Hay. Results were almost immediate; within days the cows had shine on their coats and were more settled in the yards. The results were so remarkable we now treat all cattle and horses in our care with TNN Mineral Plus and consider TNN an important part of our Embryo Transfer Preperation Program. Our Limousin Stud and Show Cattle have never looked better. We couldn't be happier with the results we have had from TNN Mineral Plus.

Absolutely taken by surprise after using 100 kg FCMP and 25 kg Formula 1 at $150 / ha in my beef pasture renovating program prior to a 10 week dry spell, pasture grew and established vigorously in the first six weeks with an enormous root development, holding on for the next 4 dry weeks until after grazing and followed by 20 mm rain, response was excellent and is ready to be grazed now, 4 weeks later.

Following the recommendations to use TNN Mineral Plus for cattle, I noticed in a few weeks great improvements in the appearance of my cattle. Also an increased performance of our Camp Drafting Horses by applying TNN Mineral Horse Supplement. My family successfully competes with the North Eastern Zone. I can highly recommend these advanced products.

Marc & Fran Van Ummersen
Riverslea,
Bellbrook, NSW, 2440

We started 16 months ago, guided by Ludwig Mueller area consultant for TNN farming system with a comprehensive soil test, a nutritional fertiliser program, used in a controlled area Ag-Lime, FCMP, Formula 1 applied to the soil and liquid NK Plus sprayed on foliage. We replaced all conventional stock supplements with a cost efficient liquid chelated TNN Mineral Plus Trace Element Supplement applied into the water troughs every 6 weeks. Our treated pasture has improved cattle and stock horses looking good and healthy, previous foot problems and lameness has disappeared, the whole herd is in excellent condition and has exceeded our expectations.

Steve & Joan McLeish
Tallangatta Valley, VIC, 3700

We are now into our second year of using TNN TraceLime. With an average autumn break, you can really see the difference, not only in growth, but also in the colour and vibrance of the pasture. Our replacement heifers are on TNN Mineral Plus as supplementation and are looking terrific. We are feeling a lot more confident now and are looking forward to continuing the program with TNN.

Bryce Garnock

Over the past months, we have had our 50 Hereford & Poll Hereford 18 month old bulls on a new pasture, with rape, and had an outbreak of pink eye due to dust and flies. We added 1 Litre of Mineral Plus Drench 3 times a week for one month (8.5mls/head/day). The large mob of bulls stopped fighting and riding each other and after only two weeks we had to push them out of the road when putting the brew into the troughs. Working with them in the yards was pleasurable and their docility was fantastic. The pink eye was stopped and their coats changed a richer deeper colour which is beneficial pre sale day. Due to the pasture running out from the driest 3 years on record, we had to take them to a different paddock with no water trough for 4 weeks. We fed them 10kgs of silage per head per day which held them in their condition.

We had seven sires in a small paddock with exactly the same pasture they were getting a daily dose of Mineral Plus. This was mainly due to the fact that coming out of joining from the cows/heifers they were in condition score 1 and looking pretty miserable, and their weight was way behind their siblings. The 10 Ha paddock not only held them but they were easily 50 kg heavier at sale day than their siblings who were on the same diet and on a more constant plain of nutrition and weren't used for joining either.

From this we started adding Mineral Plus to the calves water trough a 2ml/head/day and the cows are now getting 4mls/head/day on McKoster brew whilst chewing tussocks over the harsh Monaro winter. The oil is back in their coats and they are licking their shoulders and content with their surroundings.

Dairy Heifers

I sprayed the farm with TNN Liquid Lime and Trace Elements in March.

At the end of March I bought a mob of mountain calves, quite a few of which had developed pink eye.

They were drenched with a dose of TNN Mineral Plus Supplement.

I have had a 100% success rate with the pink eye problem. The cattle are very healthy and are making significant weight gains.

I throughly recommend the Mineral Plus Supplement.

I have been using the TNN Industries fertilizer program on 100 ha of irrigated Lucerne since November 20^th

The benefits I have observed are:

Higher brix levels
Stems becoming denser
Greater leaf to stem ratio
No insect attack
Plants of a darker colour

The greater benefit would be the big increase in production I have had in the short time I have been using this system.

Graeme Wakefield
Stanhope, VIC, 3623

I began using the TNN program on my property in May 2003. Using Powdered Liquid Lime, Controlled Slow Release 20/20, Foliar Plus Pasture Spray, TNN Zinc Chelate. I am now selling at the Shepparton market at 2 1/2 years old. Stock and station agent insisting the cattle are at least 3 years. The extra weight gain is as a result of the whole program. Costs have been reduced by about 25% and this autumn was yielding 2 ton / ha Lucerne. Using this Lucerne for feed gains higher milk production.

Steve Grove
Cohuna, VIC, 3568

I began using the TNN program on my 900 acre dairy farm as a trial in May 2004. By November 2004, began program on 100 ha using TNN fertilizers on millet and permanent pasture, and on sub pasture in autumn this year. The soil now has earth worms and this has not occured ever on this farm in the last twenty years. I have applied TraceLime over most of this treated area as well as FF50 and FF60 and typical fertilizers used are Controlled Slow Release 20/20, TNN Ocean Life, Foliar Plus Pasture Spray, CSRF 10.10.10, TNN Fulvic Acid, TNN Zinc Chel. I will be starting the animal oral program on cows and calves late July 2005 and will continue to use the TNN Fertilizer program in Spring 2005.

Brian Bowles
Cohuna, VIC, 3568

Using the Mineral Plus Organic Drench, reproductivity was 128 cows in calf out of 130. Previously, there would normally be 20 to 30 cows not in calf. I have treated 100 acres of permanent pasture for two applications and quality has increased with costs being reduced by about 25%. This year I have applied TNN Tracelime on Lucerne and will fertilise in early spring with a full TNN program.

Anthony & Fiona Jackson
Barham, NSW, 2732

Yielded 72 ton of oaten hay on 7 hectare, irrigated once only, using a fertilizer program of Liquid Lime, 32% Nitrogen, Bioactor, and Zinc Chelate. There was and still is plenty of phos and potassium available in the soil. We have been using TNN products for two years now and have been treating different areas of the dairy farm each season on a new program. Other products used have been Controlled Slow Release 20/20, FF50, FF60, TNN FCMP, Foliar Plus Pasture Spray and CSRF 10.10.10. We will continue the program in the spring of 2005.

Ian Whatley
Nannella, VIC, 3561

I began using TNN products on my 1000 acre dairy farm in 1998. This district has a huge problem with high sodium, and magnesium and low calcium and phos, and in some cases potassium. Most trace elements are deficient. I have been using Powdered Liquid Lime, 32% Nitrogen, Controlled Slow Release 20/20, TNN FCMP, FF60, Trace Elements and this year Tracelime. I have also been using the oral trace element program at the dairy and in the nursery for the calves. Weight gain and growth have been evident and general health has improved. I will continue using the TNN program.

John & Jill Hodson
Nanneella, VIC, 3561

After using TNN products for over six years, animal health has improved on our 200 acre dairy farm and costs have reduced with each season. We have used Tracelime on the farm this year and are now reaping the benefits with the trace elements infused into the product. Over the six years, the presence of red legged earth mites has gradually disappeared from the pasture and the nutritional value has increased. We have used a wide range of TNN products including TNN FCMP, Controlled Slow Release 20/20, TNN Humus and Fish based products. We will never go back to the synthetic method of fertilization and will continue using the TNN program.

Greg & Maureen Mathers
Cohuna, VIC, 3568

Over a period of 18 months salt content of soil was reduced from 2000 to 200 ppm on our dairy farm 14 hectare paddock. This was achieved using a fertilizer program comprising of FF60, Powdered Liquid Lime, Bioactor, Foliar Plus Pasture Spray, and Controlled Slow Release 20/20.

As a result there are now earth worms in the soil and quality of pasture has improved immensely. Phos availability increase from 29 to 49 kg / ha, magensium reduced from 742 to 566 kg / ha, sodium from 1470 to 888 ppm. Zinc increased from 0.6 to 2.7 ppm.

We will continue using the TNN product range in our next fertilizer program.

Justin Weaver
Manager Halcyon Alpaca Stud
Maroondah Hwy
Healesville, VIC, 3777

We have been using TNN products for the last three years and have been really impressed with the results. We have seen dramatic improvements in the soil test results for the base minerals and steady improvement across the trace element range. The actual soil profile, colour, texture, and water holding capacity is looking better and better. But the true impact is easily seen from the ridge overlooking our farm, our property has rich green grass growth where the neighbours have none. Our carrying capacity even through these last few dry years has been well above the district average.

One of the great things about TNN is the range of products allowing you to use short, medium and long-term solutions to fit in with your program. We have incorporated a mineral drench into the husbandry program of our alpaca herd on a two monthly basis. This has taken care of the animals mineral supplement needs on a short-term basis allowing us to gradually improve the soil and plant contents in a sustainable way. The dramatic improvement in animal health, reproduction, growth rates and fleece production have been amazing.

However what keeps us using TNN products is the support we have received from our Reps and the companies balanced outlook on the use of both organic and traditional methods.

Tim Higgs

I have been on a TNN Program for three years.I have noticed increased uniformity on the greens and disease incidence has decreased dramatically to the point where I seldom have to use a fungicide.

The TNN programs were very successful on our greens. (Hume Golf Course has now been sold to developers)

Steve Lamplough
�Oak Park Deer Farm�
Condah, VIC, 3303

I have been using some of your products recently and I am very impressed with the results. We farm about 700 Red Deer and Canadian Elk in South West Victoria. The deer have a very high requirement for trace elements and over the years I have tried most products on the market. The TNN Mineral Plus Supplement is the most amazing product I have seen. The results have been very noticeable in a short period of time. I have never seen my deer with such dark colored, lush, coats. The general health of the stock has improved along with increased condition and weight gains. The deer seem so much more content and inquisitive. Even the hooves on some of the animals are very noticeable, as they look as though they have had black boot polish applied to them!

Your fertilizer and lime products and the use of your soil aerator have also achieved very noticeable results. The paddocks that were aerated, trace limed and fertilized with TNN FCMP, in the spring, stayed green into summer for 5-6 weeks longer than the rest of the property.

I look forward to using more of your products. Many thanks.

TNN Fused Calcium Magnesium Phosphate (FCMP)

Grazing Property / Farmers Rd, Leongatha, VIC

Paddock roughly sown to oats towards the end of April 2004. Approximately a third of area was sown with Superphosphate and the balance with TNN FCMP. TNN FCMP and Superphosphate was broadcast at the approx rate of 150 kg/Ha.

The difference between both areas is quite noticeable:
Superphosphate Side:
- Coarser plants
- Hollow stems
- Lighter green
- Faster growth in early stages

FCMP Side:
- Denser foliage
- Solid stems
- Much better colour
- Slower growth at start, but crop now outperforming the 'superphosphate' area

A handful picked at random in 'average'            Grown with                 Grown with

We have noted several points worthy of recognition since dealing with TNN Industries over the past year on our dairy farm which are as follows:

We overcame a ryegrass staggers problem with stock through treating the pasture with a complete TNN Foliar Fertilizer to decrease endophyte numbers and using TNN Mineral Plus on affected stock.

Have increased pasture quality and brix levels and have eliminated insect pressure which has been a huge problem in itself in years past.
Pasture is of good colour and has been responding well after each grazing. Clover content in pasture has greatly increased with no hint of a bloat problem as a result of better balanced nutrition in pasture. A 60% decrease in weed content has also been noticed as a result of fertility building, use of chemicals has been greatly reduced. Weed reduction referred to is of the broadleaf variety; dock, flatweed and fleabane.

We view TNN's approach to agriculture with organics and conventional methods and products being integrated as a sustainable, viable approach to agriculture. We also feel comfortable with the accurate and complete soil audits used and are currently in the process of building a new diary to increase herd numbers. TNN Products used have been TNN Tracelime, TNN Formula 1 Enriched Supreme, TNN Liquid Lime, TNN NPK Humate, TNN Pature Spray #5, TNN 32% Nitrogen, TNN Liquid Sulphur, TNN Mineral Plus and sugar has also been added.

Upon using TNN Mineral Plus I have felt my stock have gained weight at a faster rate and have no longer the on-going problem of liver-fluke and have had no need to drench for this. I have also noticed the absence of liver fluke in the water troughs upon applying TNN Mineral Plus to the drinking water. The stock are in excellent condition. I only have a smaller herd of cattle, 26 in number having also deer and goats - it was intersting to note a 100% conception rate and the first 16 calved within a fortnight, the other 8 calved also within a fortnight having borrowed the neighbours bull on two seperate occasions.

I also have a milking goat which dropped in production, noticed warms in the dung, was very smelly and ears were also dropping which is a sign of being very low. Administered a dose of TNN Mineral Plus in the evening, the next morning the dung was normal and she picked up quickly from then on.

Ken & Caroline Moore

North Arm Cove

Thanks for recommending TNN Mineral drench for our horses and cattle.Even though I was using another mineral supplement one of our horses (rescued in the drought from the knackery) was very poor and had a growth the size of a walnut under his jaw. After 3 days on TNN the growth was half its size and after one month it was gone. After six months we were able to sell him as a riding horse.We had thought we would have to put him down.

I believe he could have had liver damage due to eating fireweed in the drought to survive. The effects of fireweed poisoning are not seen for at least a year and are thought to be irreversible.

Another horse who has suffered from some form of itch is no longer scratching and all of our horses seem free of ticks.

The cows were all poor when we bought them last summer and despite good feed and worming did not pick up. I started them on TNN in April 04, they endured a cold winter without supplementary feeding and as soon as spring feed arrived they got extremely fat and have healthy shiny coats and look years younger.

I weaned their calves in June due to conditions and put them straight onto TNN daily and with very little supplementary hay they put on condition and never looked back.

Also I had a little terrier dog go down with sever tick poisoning and despite vet attention looked like dying. We nursed her for two weeks but she could not eat and we were force feeding her with liquids etc. I decided to try TNN Horse Supplement.I gave her 1-2 ml every day for three days. She started eating ravenously on the 3^rd day and is fully recovered.

Thanks again

I have been using TNN Mineral Plus Cattle Supplement for a good few months now. I have seen a great improvement in the health and performance of my cattle. Within a few days of giving them the supplement we can see an improvement in their coats, their scouring has cleared up and they have really blossomed.

I also feed bread to some of my cattle in a feedlot type situation and I have noticed a decrease in the usual problems associated with feeding bread. Also in the slow ones there has been dramatic improvement.

In my opinion if you have cattle you should be using this economical product.

Thankyou TNN Industries for making available such excellent natural products. We have been using TNN Mineral Supplements for Horses for about four months now and have noticed a marked improvement in the health and well being of all horses given the product, especially our twenty eight year old Arabian Pinto, Fred, who has had arthritis for several years now. This winter he has a new spring in his step and with the warmer months almost here he is shedding his coat with a rich glossy new growth coming through and a brightness in his eyes that we haven't seen for years. We love old Freddie dearly and are so pleased to have found this great natural product to help him live a happy, healthy old age.

We recently acquired an ex race-horse mare for the purpose of breeding and like many ex race-horses she was lean and nervous. After several weeks of trial and error there was little improvement to her condition until friends offered us some TNN Mineral Supplement for Horses, which they had been using for several months with great success. The mare has had two doses of this excellent product and her disposition and general condition have improved markedly as has her appetite and coat. We have since purchased five litres of TNN Mineral Supplement and all our brood mares have had their first dose.

Thankyou TNN Industries for producing this excellent natural product.

I have owned horses for many years now and appreciate a good product when I am introduced to one.

Three years ago we had the unfortunate luck to have one of our best show mares have her unborn foal die in-utero and not able to deliver this foal. She was at 7 months gestation. After a rush trip to the University at Camden, weeks of post delivery care, buckets of antibiotics and other medications we had our prize mare home, for which we cannot thank the vets at the University or our local vet enough, as they were wonderful.

Although looking fine and in good health she was missing the "life" in her eyes that was there before all this intervention.

I was introduced to TNN Mineral Plus Supplements by Andrew Buckman who told me of its capabilities as a natural therapy and decided to give it a go.

She has been on TNN for approximately 4 months and I can see a great difference. She's obviously metabolising everything, she's also eating better and is blooming so well we have needed to put her on rations!!! She has regained her old self and her old 'life' about her.

Remaining on TNN we will rebreed her this year and hopefully have a healthy foal result.

Thankyou TNN for this great product.

To start with, we were using a urea based product with reasonable results.But it is just too risky with long-term side effects on our breeding stock.If it can eat through a new galvanised pipe in less than 12 months, what is it doing to our cattle rumen?Anyway, after a few talks with the crew at TNN Queensland, we all decided to trial a product we could trust, that was safe and cost effective.Our cattle responded almost immediately.Within 7-10 days they had virtually stopped chewing bones.During the trial period TNN adjusted the product according to lab results.After the trial was over TNN came up with a price that was more than competitive.We trialed the product in some of the worst conditions ever.Then came the name:- Outback Mineral Plus.

In summary:- All our cows are alive, in calf and looking good, thanks to Outback Mineral Plus.

John & Faye Surace,

We have been using a liquid foliar fertilizer program through Agtech Solutions, (consultants for TNN Industries) for the past two years.

We are also using a liquid mineral drench at the rate of 10ml per cow per day, in the troughs.This has made a lift in the cow�s body condition and put a glossy shine on their coats.We are really noticing that the body condition of our first year heifers has improved greatly.

I have been using a total nutrition program from Agtech Solutions (consultants for TNN Industries), for 2 years.

The farm consists of 488 acres, (468 acres grazing, 20 acres bush), 5 minutes from the township of Leongatha.Flat to undulating.Currently carrying 351 head of beef cattle.Also carrying 44 head of agisted cattle, mainly dairy.

The photos were taken from a mob of 140 head, ranging in age from 2 � to 3 years.These animals were purchased as stores between 6-12 months ago.Current live weight is approx 660-680 kg average.

Cattle are grazing on TNN treated pasture and Mineral Plus is administered twice a week in the troughs. All cattle are quiet and easy to manage.
