IMPROVED DAIRY FARMING STARTS IN THE SOIL
Unlock the productivity potential of your pastures.
Fish IT for Dairy Farmers
If you’re a dairy farmer aiming to enhance the efficiency of your operation, optimize pasture productivity, improve soil, pasture, and animal health, or explore innovative solutions to protect and improve water quality without affecting profits, then Fish IT is a step in the right direction.
For Dairy farmers, working with your soil and freeing up nutrients locked there is an important and efficient way of doing all of the above. Our customers see increased soil depth, greater numbers of worms and soil microbiology, richer, deeper coloured pasture that is packed with nutrients which means healthier and more content cows.

Maintain production with decreased nitrogen inputs.
Healthy pasture and animal production are the upstream benefits of improved soil health and water retention. Soils with high levels of organic matter have been found to have a higher soil N supply. Because Fish IT works to feed the soil microbiology in the organic matter in soil it helps you to obtain ‘more for less’ – more production with less synthetic fertiliser inputs.
Fish IT will help you grow more and larger clover, increase your worm count, improve soil microbiology, allowing you to stay under the nitrogen cap by creating a soil environment that requires less synthetic fertiliser and that captures more nitrogen directly from the atmosphere.

Cows love Fish IT. You will too.
- Healthier soils grow richer deeper pastures that are laden with high quality nutrients. Fish IT helps to free up nutrients in the soil allowing it to be used by plants to grow. The result – dense nutrient rich pasture.
- Because Fish IT helps to create a balanced soil biome pastures are provided access to a supply of nutrients from soil biology and soil organic matter. This means plants get access to the types of nutrients they need precisely when they want them in a plant available form, there is less chance of losing profit to diseased or pest-ridden areas.
- Maintain confidence in your short and long-term production outputs as you transition.
- Cows LOVE the taste of pasture when Fish IT is used meaning they utilise pasture better.
Application of Fish IT
Fish IT can be applied through most boom sprayers including Helicopter booms, tractor pulled booms or garden sprayers. We recommend removing filters where possible and diluting the application by a ratio of 3L Fish It to 10L of water.
If starting out with Fish IT we recommend an intial drench dose of 30L per hectare followed by a seasonal application up to 4 times a year of up to 20L per hectare.
Fish IT can be mixed with other fertiliser and biological products for one single application.
