KNG’s research has shown positive results when pairing NutriVantage with other nutrition supplements, particularly Optaflexx®. Supporting β-agonist performance NutriVantage for beef + Optaflexx improves live performance of finishing steers 28 days pre-harvest The use of beta-agonists consistently increases the sellable pounds of beef per animal. A common limitation to cattle performance response observed by including Optaflexx into the feed ration during final 28 – 42 days of the finishing phase is the stable or decreased dry matter intake observed compared to control. In KNG research, when NutriVantage for beef is included in combination with Optaflexx, the producer realizes the benefit in all forms of live performance — increased intake from NutriVantage in combination with the greater efficiency from Optaflexx, which results in greater daily gain.
