Medicating Water with Nutrimin Drench
Calculating the Concentration of Nutrimin in
Tank or Water Trought Treatments
It is important to calculate the concentration of Nutrimin (mL) per 1 Litre of water.
Water intake of animals varies according to: - pasture (green or dry), daily temperatures and also
lactation. Higher producing dairy cows will consume more water during this period than beef breeds.
The same applies to sheep breeds. Before adding Nutrimin to troughs or tanks it is advisable to
monitor water consumption over a 1 or 2 day period for calculation in litres per head.
The Tables below are based on water intake of 40 Litres per day for Cattle and 4 Litres per day for
Adult Sheep.
Calculation Method
1.
Select a treatment period, e.g. daily, twice weekly (3 – 4 days) or weekly.
2.
Select treatment amount based on body weight from the Directions For Use on the Label.
E.g. 250 – 300 Kg Cattle require 7.5 mL per week by drenching.
3.
Multiply mob or herd number by required dosage rate. E.g. Adult Cattle once weekly 18 mL of
Nutrimin x herd number 50 = 900 mL per week.

Application Frequency
Dose rates given in Tables 1 & 2 are frequency of application
for every 6 weeks, these can also be halved for every 3 weeks
or into one third for every 2 weeks of application.
SHEEP
The dose rates for Sheep depend upon the various age groups, 6 week application frequency
are indicated in Table 1 below. Utmost care should be taken NOT to inject Nutrimin Drench
into the lungs of animals! When drenching lambs use gun with a short nozzle.

Examples for Adult Sheep treated using Agmin Dispenser in Water Troughs, per head
Example: 1,000 Adult Sheep with an application frequency of 6 weeks.
1) Read Dosage Rate from Table 1 = 12mls
2) Calculate Nutrimin Drench Requirement: Number of Sheep x Dosage Rate = 1000 x 12mls ≡
12L
3) Add 12L of Nutrimin Drench into drum and screw Agmin Dispenser on, then tip the drum upside
down into the water trough. During the next 2 days the Agmin Dispenser will release the
product into the water trough. Ensure water continues to flow into trough the entire duration
application.
Variation 1: Change the Frequency of Application from 6 weeks to 3 weeks for 1,000 Adult
Sheep.
1) Dose Rate will be half of Example = 6mls
2) Calculate Nutrimin Drench Requirement: Number of Sheep x Dosage Rate = 1000 x 6mls ≡ 6L
Variation 2: Change the Frequency of Application from 6 weeks to 2 weeks for 1,000 Adult
Sheep.
1) Dose Rate will be one third of Example = 4mls
2) Calculate Nutrimin Drench Requirement: Number of Sheep x Dosage Rate = 1000 x 4mls ≡ 4L
Note: If drum does not have sufficient product to weigh it down, extra water can be mixed with the
Nutrimin Drench to assist.

1) Read Dose Rate from Table 2 = 20mls
2) Calculate Nutrimin Drench Requirement: Number of Cattle x Dosage Rate = 700 x 20mls ≡ 14L
3) Add 14L of Nutrimin Drench into drum and screw Agmin Nutrimin Dispenser on, then tip the
drum upside down into the water trough. During the next 2 days the Agmin Nutrimin Dispenser
will release the product into the water trough. Ensure water continues to flow into trough the
entire duration application.
Variation 1: Change the Frequency of Application from 6 weeks to 3 weeks for 700 Cattle.
1) Dose Rate will be half of Example = 10mls
2) Calculate Nutrimin Drench Requirement: Number of Cattle x Dosage Rate = 700 x 10mls ≡ 7L
Note: If drum does not have sufficient product to weigh it down, extra water can be mixed with the
Nutrimin Drench to assist.
Agmin Dispenser Maintenance & Use
Agmin’s Dispensers are made of very sturdy stainless steel for repeated use. Below are
some tips and checks to help with using the Agmin Dispenser.
• Make sure trough water is clean before placing drum with dispenser attached. Dirty
trough water can cause the dispenser holes to block with debris.
• To prevent build-up of sediment, which may block the dispenser, we recommend not
leaving the dispenser submerged for long periods of time.
• When filling drums with Nutrimin Drench, it’s important to make sure there is air space
left between the drum and the dispenser. For example, when filling a 20L drum, only
use a maximum of 18L product. This will leave 2L of air in the drum to prevent air and
water pressure build-up.
• If the recommended dosage rate is only a smaller quantity of Nutrimin Drench, it is
recommended to fill clean water in the drum to ensure balance in trough.
Agmin Chelates Pty Ltd
Page 11 of 13
• Clean your dispenser with hot water. Also using an air compressor to blow clean the
grub screws in the head of the dispenser to clear out any build-up or debris. If the
dispenser gets clogged you can unscrew the parts and apply some air pressure to clean
the dispenser.
• Do not use the Nutrimin Drench with another product at the same time.
Using the Dispenser in Water Trough
After following the above mentioned steps of calculating and measuring out the correct
amount of Nutrimin Drench, you will need to use the Nutrimin Dispenser to provide your cattle
or sheep with the right amount of Nutrimin over a period of 2 or 3 days.
For best results Nutrimin should be used in a well cleaned trough, with plenty of space to
move around.
1. Pour the measured amount of Nutrimin Drench into
a clean and empty drum. For best results you will
need to make sure there is still some air space left in
the container.
2. Screw the Agmin Dispenser onto the opening of
the drum, and tighten firmly.
3. Carefully insert the drum with the Agmin Dispenser
into the trough upside down. Leave in the Dispenser
Drum with the Nutrimin Drench product in the trough
for about 2-3 days or until all product has been
dispensed in water.
Agmin Chelates Pty Ltd
Page 12 of 13
Using the Dispenser in Water Tank
Using the Nutrimin Dispenser in a water tank is done by a very similar method to using it in
water trough. The dosage and measurement should be done the same way as mentioned
above.
It is recommended to tie a rope on the handle of the Dispenser Drum when using it in a water
tank, that will make it easier to retrieve the drum after the 3 day dispense period.
During the days of dosage the tank water level should be checked more frequently, as you do
not want the water to overflow in the tank, and neither jeopardise the health of your animals
by turning off the water supply.
Contact your Nutrimin Drench Supplier or Agmin if you have any
further questions regarding your dispenser or Nutrimin Product
