A NEW INDUSTRY IN CORNWALL
THE COMPANY
CORNISH LIQUID MINERALS LIMITED is a family business. Originating in Australia as Westminster Pastoral Company Proprietary Limited, the business has manufactured and marketed the unique products successfully throughout the whole of Australia for more than 20 years.
Together with Cornish members of the family the company has decided to expand its manufacturing and marketing operations into the United Kingdom and other Western European Countries.
Cornish Liquid Minerals Limited initially will support its customers across the whole of the South West of England.
TECHNOLOGY OF THE PRODUCTS IN GENERAL
Formulations to Cover Farm Livestock Mineral Deficiencies
The heart of the technology perfected over 20 years in Australia is ORGANIC CHELATION that is brought about by using the unique properties of special low molecular weight LIGNOSULPHONATES in solution with metallic ions.This technology has been utilised to produce the closely guarded numerous formulations that are ulilised in the production of the uniqure range of company products.
TECHNOLOGY OF THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS
How it works
Selected Lignosulphonates, modified in molecular weight and in the ionic charges of their reactive groups, (hydroxyl, carboxyl, methoxyl and sulphonyl functional groups) are used by Cornish Liquid Minerals to chelate trace elements such as Copper, Cobalt, Selenium, Zinc, Manganese and Iron.
These lignosulphonate chelated trace elements are protected from ruminal micro flora binding, hence not wasted through rumen liquor overflow and subsequent urinary and faecal excretion.
These newly formed lignosulphonates cross-linked-amino-acid-peptide-chelated trace elements are able to by-pass the rumen as the lignosulphonates form hydrogen bonds with the amino acid-peptide-chelated trace elements decreasing their solubility and its microbial degradation in the rumen.
As these lignosulphonate cross-linked-amino acid-peptide-chelated trace elements pass down the digestive tract into the abomasum and the small intestine, the acidity of the digestive fluid alters, which dissociates the lignosulphonates enabling the amino acid-peptide-chelated trace elements to be enzymatically digested, absorbed and then stored by the ruminant.
THE ANIMAL PRODUCTS

2.5 litres, 5 litres, 10 litres, 20 litres, 200 litres and 1000 litre IBC containers.
The two variations of this master formulation are: Mighy-Min® 6.5 & 8.5
Mighty-Min® 6.5
for sheep, cattle, goats, alpacas, other ruminants and swine;
Mighty-Min® 8.5
for CATTLE only:
CATEGORY (B) is comprised of 2 products based on the master formulation that is modified in each instance to provide a product under our registered trademark.
Mighty-Min® For Horses
formulated especially for Horses
Mighty-Min® for Dogs
keep your working dogs in top condition
MightyMin® 6.5
Formulated to be suitable for all Ruminants
MightyMin® Cornish Liquid Minerals is a supplement for sheep, cattle, goats & alpacas, to increase dietary intake of certain trace minerals where intake by livestock may be low, resulting in increased digestive function of ruminants and improved pasture utilisation, and improvement in general health. MightyMin® employs a unique chelation process to assist in mineral uptake.
MightyMin® 8.5
Formulated for CATTLE ONLY – Extra Copper
Mighty Min Extra Copper is a supplement for cattle only.
Copper is an essential part of a number of enzymes present in both sheep and cattle. Cattle have a significantly higher requirement for Copper than sheep, hence the development of Mighty Min Extra Copper for Cattle.
MightyMin® Extra Copper for Cattle may be administered orally or via watering systems to ensure each animal is treated.

HOW SAFE IS MIGHTY-MIN?
Used correctly and as per the dose rate, MIGHTY-MIN® is not toxic. When dispensed into the animal drinking water trough, even 10 times the maximum dose is not considered toxic to the animal.
Westminster Pastoral Company has had no reported adverse effects in either, sheep, goats or cattle since launching the original version of Mighty-Min® back in April 1999.
Introducing The “FLOATER DOSER”
ALL ANIMALS MUST DRINK WATER
ALL of our farm animals require access to a supply of clean drinking water on a daily basis.
MIGHTY-MIN® liquid mineral supplements, manufactured by CORNISH LIQUID MINERALS has been FORMULATED to take advantage of this daily occurrence.
The “FLOATER DOSER” is a portable, inexpensive, reusable dispensing device designed specifically for the metering of Cornish Liquid Mineral supplements into animals drinking water troughs.
Requiring no power to operate, the “FLOATER DOSER” will float in the water trough and over a 2 to 3 day period dispense the required amount of supplement into the drinking water.
DOSING THE EASY WAY
Being able to provide a mineral supplement to an animal in its drinking water, enables them to remain in their familiar surroundings without causing them unnecessary stress.
This method is also the most natural, efficient and effective way to evenly supplement your animals during all 4 seasons.
ABOUT THE “FLOATER DOSER”
The “FLOATER DOSER” is a dispenser for adding CORNISH LIQUID MINERALS MIGHTY-MIN mineral supplements to animals drinking water troughs.
The “FLOATER DOSER” relies on the specific gravity of the MIGHTY MIN mixture inside the drum being greater than that of the water in the drinking trough to provide the dispensing action.
Both the heavier Specific Gravity MIGHTY MIN in the drum and the lighter specific gravity water in the drinking trough commence trying to reach a specific gravity equilibrium. As more clean water enters the drinking water trough to replace that consumed by the animals, the required amount of mineral supplement will be replaced into the incoming fresh water from the “FLOATER DOSER”.
The floating dispenser has inlet and outlet conduits contained in a single weighted assembly manufactured from mostly plastic material which will be unaffected by the mineral supplements.
The drum type container is partially filled to about 80% volume with the
MIGHTY MIN mineral supplement. Should the amount of MIGHTY MIN to be dispensed be less than 80% of the drum volume, then clean water is added to bring the drum level up to the correct volume.
The volume of air trapped in the top of the drum will show little variation during the whole of this treatment process.
At the conclusion of the treatment period, the drum is removed from the drinking water trough and its diluted content tipped into the drinking water trough to complete the treatment cycle.
Rinse out and put the “FLOATER DOSER” away for use the next treatment.
TESTIMONIALS
From Australian MightyMin customers – Names available on request
“We have been using this product for the past three years and there are two reasons why we will continue to use Mighty-Min.
1. The weaning weights of our calves have increased since introducing this mineral supplement into our management program. Our target weight used to be 1kg/day but now 1.25-1.3kg/day is easily achieved. The top weight for 2018 born calves was 387kg at nine months of age.
At a cost of $12 per breeder per year the outlay is far offset by the increase in the sale price of weaner calves and cull cows.
2. Breeding cattle cope better in harsh conditions. Our breeders have continued to perform well despite adverse weather conditions over the last two years. They come out of the winter in strong condition and that is a definite advantage for spring calving. By November their coats are shiny and they are gaining weight.
These traits were not observed prior to using Mighty-Min.”
“The alpacas are so healthy on it. It’s an absolute lifesaver and sure enough no more injections of selenium which they are probably rather pleased about”
“We came across your product when we stayed on a farm who used your product on their cows and were so impressed with the condition of their cattle that we started giving our horses your horse mineral mix.
We have just completed the bicentennial national trail (end of 2015) and our boys were on the minerals for about 1/2 of this trip (5300km from Cooktown QLD to Healesville VIC). The change in the horses when they started the minerals was marked. We noticed an increase in hair growth, they held weight much more easily, and they seemed fitter. We also noticed that some of the horses
faces slimmed down. As they were far Nth QLD born and bred, we believe they had bighead and the minerals helped to remedy this ailment.
This theory we tested again when we picked up my thoroughbred who had bighead after we finished the trip, and lost alot of condition for an unknown reason – turned out he had developed an ulcer. We started him on Minerals, ulcer treatment and a feeding program immediately.
Thank you so much for these minerals! I have told everyone who will listen about them, and they are noticing the difference in their animals as well!”
THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
