Why Fish Fertilizer for Pasture & Hay?
Quality pasture and hay starts with soil biology. TNT fish fertilizers feed beneficial microorganisms, improve nutrient cycling, and enhance forage digestibility - translating to healthier livestock and better weight gains.
0.5-1 ton per acre yield increase
Higher forage protein content
Improved palatability and digestibility
Faster regrowth after cutting/grazing
Enhanced drought tolerance
Better livestock health and gains

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can cattle graze after applying TNT products?
TNT products have no grazing restrictions. However, for best results, we recommend applying immediately after grazing or cutting to maximize plant uptake during the regrowth period. There are no withholding requirements for livestock.
Will fish fertilizer make my hay smell bad?
No. When applied at recommended rates, the fish odor dissipates within hours as the product is absorbed by plants. Properly cured hay will have no residual fish odor. Many farmers notice their hay has a sweeter smell after TNT applications.
Can TNT products improve my Relative Feed Value (RFV)?
Yes, fish fertilizers enhance protein content and digestibility - two key components of RFV. Farmers consistently report 10-20 point RFV improvements with proper application timing, translating to higher hay value and better livestock performance.
How does TNT help during drought stress?
TNT Super Salmon+ contains natural stress-defense compounds including omega fatty acids and amino acids that help grass plants maintain cellular function during drought. It won't make rain, but it helps pastures survive and recover better from dry periods.
