		<title>Maintaining soil health with dolomite</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Animal health and performance is dependent on the quality of the pasture available, which in turn is reliant on sufficient mineral and moisture available from the soil.
We had the privilege, prior to Christmas, of visiting a Collingwood grazing property with stock as good as it is possible to see anywhere in the country.
Without exception all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Low-tech solution to increasing pasture energy  Oct &#8216;09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The level of energy in pasture plants during spring has a marked influence on the total season’s production.

		<description><![CDATA[A common misconception is that any fertiliser product that provides a noticeable response soon after application will need to be reapplied frequently to gain a long-term affect.
Golden Bay Dolomite often provides both an almost immediate response and a season long affect.

		<title>Price, another reason for applying dolomite now.    July&#8217;09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The marked reduction in calcium/magnesium related metabolic disorders in animals during spring as well as a steady improvement in overall animal health, as a result of a single application of dolomite, are the major reasons for the steady increase in demand for dolomite.
