About Fish IT’s Whole Salmon Fish Hydrolysate
Fish IT’s fish hydrolysate is a nutrient-dense liquid biostimulant produced from whole salmon.
It improves soil microbiology and increases nutrient availability for plants.
Unlike some synthetic products, this fertiliser works with the natural soil ecosystem,
supporting beneficial microbes that free up nutrients already locked in the soil.
The result is more vigorous pasture growth and improved feed quality.
Benefits of Using Fish Hydrolysate in Dairy Farming
Enhancing Soil Microbiology for Sustainable Growth
Applying Fish IT as a liquid fertiliser encourages a broader range of soil microorganisms and greater microbial activity. These organisms break down organic matter and release nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace minerals that pasture roots can use. Healthier soil biology contributes to pastures that are more resilient, with better structure and productivity season after season.
Reducing Synthetic Nitrogen Use
By improving nutrient cycling, Fish IT can reduce the amounts of synthetic nitrogen inputs common in dairy farming. Fewer synthetic applications means lower input costs and reduced environmental pressure, while still supporting productive, healthy pastures.
Improving Pasture Quality and Palatability
Whole Salmon Fish hydrolysate nourishes pasture grasses, improving growth rate, colour, and nutritional content. Cows find treated paddocks more palatable. That leads to better feed intake, improved feed conversion and often higher milk yields.

New Zealand Dairy Farmer Success Stories
Higher Grass Yields And Better Worm Counts
Many New Zealand dairy farmers report notable increases in grass production after adding Fish IT to their pasture and soil management programmes. Improved soil microbiology often coincides with healthier worm populations. Worms help with soil aeration and nutrient recycling, which are useful indicators of fertile, well-structured soils.
Increased Cow Health And Feed Acceptance
Farmers have observed that pastures treated with Fish IT are often more palatable to cows. Increased feed consumption supports higher milk production and overall herd health & condition. The practical gains on farm show how fish hydrolysate can positively influence both pasture and animal performance.
Application Guide For Dairy Pastures
Dilution And Spraying Instructions
Fish IT is straightforward to apply with standard boom sprayers. For general use, dilute the product between 1:10 and 1:20 with water and apply evenly across pastures. Regular applications through the growing season help keep biological numbers active and multiplying which in turn enhances nutrient availability and keep pastures in good nick. Simple, repeatable treatments work best.
Compatibility With Other Pasture Inputs
Fish it fish fertiliser is compatible with many common agricultural products, allowing farmers to tank-mix where appropriate without losing effectiveness. That compatibility supports efficient farm management and can reduce the number of trips across paddocks.
