Inform Nutrition is proud to lead the way in the agricultural sector and be the first Irish manufacturer to develop and launch Ireland’s first fully certified organic mineral bucket lick.

Formulated by their expert in-house team of nutritionists, the Organolics range is 100% organic and has been specifically developed to meet the nutritional demands of cattle and sheep within organic farming systems.

Certified by the Irish Organic Association and fully compliant with EU Regulation No. 2018/848, the Organolics range delivers the same trusted performance and quality assurance as their conventional products, using only ingredients approved for organic production.

This is advanced nutrition for organic farms committed to achieving top animal performance.

The Organolics range include: Organolics Energy, a high-performance feed bucket lick; and Organolics 365, a complete year-round magnesium mineral lick.

Both products are formulated to support animal health and performance, boost energy, and to promote fertility, thrive, and lactation.

Inform’s Head of Ruminant Nutrition, Liam Lacey, recently visited Padraig Healy, an organic sheep farmer based in Aughrim, Co. Wicklow.

Padraig runs a 140-ewe, March-lambing flock alongside his wife and two daughters.

Having transitioned to organic farming over 18 months ago, Padraig said: “The rules and regulations of organic farming are something that people are fearful of, and we were fearful of it ourselves.

"That’s why finding a product certified by the Irish Organic Association, which we are members of, was so important to us.”

Padraig uses both Organolics Energy and Organolics 365 from December through to April, when the sheep are in lamb and when the sheep have lambs at foot.

“It maximises the winter forage for the sheep and they get better benefits of that winter grass," he said.

Both products “really ticked all the boxes for us” when it came to finding a certified solution that aligned with organic requirements and delivered measurable results.

“We found that ewes came into lamb in good condition after using the buckets and there was plenty of strong, healthy, vibrant lambs after,” Padraig said.

Organolics Energy supports all classes of cattle, sheep and dairy animals, delivering fermentable energy and high-quality protein to improve feed intake and boost forage digestibility, particularly vital during the winter months or when forage quality is suboptimal.

While using Organolics Energy, Padraig found that they had noticeably fewer health problems this year on farm.

The inclusion of key trace elements such as zinc also made a significant difference in foot health.

According to Padraig: “There was less lameness, which led to overall, healthy vibrant lambs and a good crop of them.”

Organolics 365 is suitable for all year-round supply of magnesium to sheep and cattle, and ideally supplemented eight weeks pre-lambing or calving or during risks of grass tetany.

Padraig considers Organolics 365 a very important part of his organic farming system.

“These buckets are very palatable, the sheep take to them well, and they’re getting the amount of magnesium that they need without overdoing it.”

Liam Lacey added that the launch of Inform’s Organolics Range shows Inform’s commitment to support organic farming both in Ireland and abroad in export markets.

Lacey said: “There’s a clear and growing demand for certified organic nutritional solutions.

"Organolics bridges that nutritional gap with certified, high-quality formulations that support animal health, performance and welfare in organic systems.”

This launch underpins Inform Nutrition’s continued innovation in specialist animal nutrition delivering science-led, performance-focused formulations to meet the evolving demands of sustainable agriculture.
