the benefits of 100% natural gypsum
/ by Winstone Gypsum
Gypsum is one of those rare materials that performs in all categories of soil treatment: an amendment, conditioner and fertiliser.
It is useful in the transition period in dairy cows 2 – 4 weeks pre and post calving, and can be used as an anionic salt to counteract the effects that high potassium and sodium concentrations have on increasing hypocalcemia.
Gypsum, a readily available form of calcium, is 100 times more soluble than lime and is more suitable for the digestive system during this period.
