FOR SOIL THAT WORKS FOR YOU
Unlock the productivity potential of your pastures.
Fish IT for Dry Stock Farmers
The health of what’s under your feet is often an overlooked component of animal nutrition and production. When you increase your soil organic matter you increase plant nutrition, improve nutrient (N) efficiency and pasture quality to improve stock condition and add more production value to your animals.
Whole Salmon Fish Hydrolysate from Fish IT is one product that helps Dry Stock Farmers & Sheep and Beef Farmers improve their soil biology, reducing costs, inputs and helps create an overall healthier farm.
“Our crops are better, grass is more palatable and the stock don’t rush the wire in the morning.”

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.
The secret weapon to unleashing your farms productivity.
Healthy soil contains billions of micro-biological organisms each with their own role in keeping plants healthy and nutritious. Fish IT feeds soil biology helping them do their work of cycling and freeing up nutrients for use by the plant, helping dry stock farmers reduce the need for high-analysis fertiliser inputs.

"The soil is working better helping keep everything in balance."
Animals 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.
- Animals LOVE the taste of pasture when Fish IT is used meaning they utilise pasture better.
Application of Fish IT
Fish IT for Dry Stock Farmers 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 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.
