Formed in 1979, Scotmin Nutrition began as a family business supplying nutritional supplements to local farmers, growing into one of the largest supplement businesses in the UK. Our nutritional experts have over 100 years combined experience in dairy, beef and sheep nutrition to help ensure that our customers achieve maximum performance at minimum cost. We can do everything from analysing your silage to developing a tailor-made ration for your animals.
As part of our company ethos we strive to reduce our carbon footprint through efficient logistics and by shipping over 57% of our bulk mineral materials via the Port of Ayr, a mere two kilometres from our factory. Our product range includes mineral supplements, molassed mineral tubs, protein concentrates, forage additives and specialised products.
In June 2010 Scotmin joined Carr’s plc. Our combined knowledge and expertise will ensure that our customers continue to receive top quality products, produced in Scotland.
