Built on 20 years of practical livestock nutrition, LivestockIQ is an Australian company helping producers improve animal health, productivity and profitability through innovative, easy-to-use supplementation systems.

Originally founded as Beachport Liquid Minerals in 2006, we've spent more than two decades developing practical nutritional solutions that work in real production systems.

Today, LivestockIQ combines paddock experience with science-backed nutrition to deliver bioavailable amino acids, trace elements and natural electrolytes through a simple water-based system that reduces labour, minimises handling and supports livestock performance year-round.

Our story

LivestockIQ began with a simple idea: make livestock supplementation easier, more effective and less stressful for both producers and their animals.

What started as Beachport Liquid Minerals has grown into a nationally recognised nutrition system trusted by producers across Australia. While our name has evolved, our purpose hasn’t. We’re still committed to developing practical nutritional solutions that improve animal performance while fitting seamlessly into everyday farming operations.

Built on experience​

LivestockIQ was founded by Kym and Chris Sutherland on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, where a lifetime on the land sparked a passion for livestock nutrition.

Drawing on more than 50 years of practical livestock experience, Kym has worked alongside producers, veterinarians, nutritionists and researchers to develop supplementation systems that solve real challenges in the paddock. Every product we create is shaped by that combination of practical knowledge, ongoing research and continuous improvement.

What we believe

Practical Solutions

We believe good nutrition should be simple to apply, easy to manage and deliver measurable results.

Science with Purpose

We combine proven nutritional science with practical producer experience to create solutions that work in real-world conditions.

Better Outcomes

Everything we develop is designed to improve livestock health, reduce handling and support more productive, profitable farming operations.

Long-Term Partnerships

We work alongside producers and rural retailers for the long term, providing ongoing support and practical solutions as their needs evolve.

From our founder

“LivestockIQ was built from a simple goal, to create a supplement that delivers the benefits of traditional supplementation without the labour, stress and disruption that often comes with it.

For more than 20 years we’ve continued to refine our products alongside Australian producers, developing practical solutions that improve livestock performance while keeping animals where they perform best, in the paddock.

Our commitment remains the same today as it was in 2006: helping producers build healthier, more productive livestock through practical nutrition that works.”

New in the range

Why we've added boron

Boron is a trace mineral that works behind the scenes. Rather than doing one job on its own, it influences how the body handles other key minerals. That’s why it’s now included in our conventional livestock formulations.

Where boron plays a role
Mineral metabolismBoron interacts with how the body uses calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D.
Calcium and phosphorus useTrials in pigs and poultry have linked boron to better calcium and phosphorus retention and stronger bones.1,2
Bone and skeletal developmentBoron is involved in bone formation and mineralisation, alongside calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.2
Antioxidant and immune activityReviews link boron to antioxidant activity and immune response, helping support animals through stress.2
What about cattle and sheep? Research in ruminants is still developing. Studies in dairy cows around calving have looked at boron's effect on energy metabolism and colostrum, with promising early results.3,4 We see boron as a supporting player that rounds out our formulations, working alongside the trace elements and 16 amino acids already in the range.
OrganicMax* and OrganicGuard* remain boron-free to meet organic input requirements.

* This product is allowable for use on farms (or in facilities) certified to the Australian Certified Organic Standard.
