THERE’S FERTILISER.
THEN THERE’S UPTAKE.
Smart, science-backed fertiliser tailored to your land, your stock and your goals.
What is UPTAKE?
At UPTAKE, we do fertiliser differently. Instead of one-size-fits-all bulk product, we create suspension fertiliser blends based on your soil tests and apply them with precision. The result?
Stronger root systems
More vigorous plant growth
Higher-quality, nutrient-dense pasture
Healthier, more productive livestock - less drenching
Long-term savings on fertiliser use
Why you need UPTAKE?
When soil health declines, pasture quality and animal performance quickly follow. Uptake Fertiliser’s Suspension System offers a complete solution to restore balance and productivity across your farm. Use Uptake when you’re seeing signs of;
Poor animal health
Lack of nutrient dense grass
Low microbial activity
Nutrient imbalance
Declining soil structure and sustainability
Uptake’s Suspension Fertiliser revitalises soil biology, balances nutrients, and delivers results that show in both pasture quality and animal performance.
Just like humans, livestock require a balanced diet, rich in essential nutrients. Many of these nutrients originate from healthy soils. When soils are biologically active and rich in trace elements, they produce nutrient dense pasture supporting stronger immunity, reproductive health, and overall animal performance from the ground up.
Who is UPTAKE for?
Beef, sheep & deer farms
Support weight gain, fertility, and long-term stock performance.
Dairy farms
Grow nutrient-dense pastures, boost herd health, and lift production.
Cropping & arable farms
Grow stronger, healthier crops with science-backed nutrient plans.
Lifestyle blocks
Easy-to-use foliar blends for better grass and healthier animals.

Proof in the paddock
“John and I had long and involved conversations about what should be in the product to try and mitigate some of the issues out in the field. It was a relief to find a system that would give you another tool in dealing with these issues.”
“We’re pretty happy with what we’ve achieved. There’s been big improvements made from coming here, with the health of our livestock and farm in general.”
“For James, soil and animal health go hand-in-hand. By using Uptake’s suspension blends, he’s been able to maintain a more balanced nutrient profile across his farm.”
Don’t take our word for it.
Hear it from UPTAKE farmers:
Testimonial — James Bruce, Martinborough Station, Wairarapa
As the owner and operator of Martinborough Station, James Bruce runs a large-scale sheep and beef farming operation in the heart of the Wairarapa. Focused on both productivity and animal wellbeing, James has been working with Uptake Fertiliser for over 14 years and says the results speak for themselves.
“We’ve been really impressed with how Uptake’s suspension fertiliser has helped us increase pasture production & quality,” says James. “It has reduced animal health costs and improved the overall condition of our stock.”
For James, soil and animal health go hand-in-hand. Over the years, he’s found real value in Uptake’s comprehensive monitoring plan, which combines eye assessments, soil and cage tests, and animal tests to build a complete picture of how the soil, pasture, and livestock are performing.
“The monitoring programme gives us real confidence that everything’s working together, from the soil right through to the animal,” he explains. “It means we can make better decisions and see exactly where we’re improving.”
By using Uptake’s suspension blends, James has been able to maintain a more balanced nutrient profile across his farm, supporting stronger pastures and healthier livestock throughout the seasons.
In addition to the suspension system, James also uses Uptake Fast 4 Foliar as part of his cropping programme.
“When we’re spraying crops, Fast 4 Foliar gives us a noticeable yield boost,” he says. “We even add it when spraying blackberry and thistles, it helps the plants absorb the herbicide better, so control is faster and more effective.”
After more than a decade of consistent results, James says the choice is simple.
“I’d definitely recommend Uptake Fertiliser,” he says. “Their products work, they’ve improved our feed quality, animal health, and overall farm performance. It’s a system that delivers real results.”
