Product Description
EnergiLass Cattle Mineral 8 AFC is a mineral and vitamin supplement formulated for cattle grazing green, growing pastures or high quality storage forage.
Features & Benefits
Calcium and phosphorus
Supplemental calcium to phosphorus are a must for cattle on pasture, as pastures tend to be deficient in phosphorus.
Optimal trace mineral fortification
Formulated to exceed NRC recommendations for trace minerals, helps overcome antagonists and support optimal animal health and performance.
Optimal vitamin fortification
Vitamins A, D and E support growth, metabolism, reproductive performance and proper immune system function.
No Added Salt
EnergiLass is formulated without added salt. A source of free-choice salt should be made available at all times, such as Framework 365 Mineral ADE.
Highly Palatable
The high molasses content of EnergiLass results in a highly palatable supplement, encouraging and maintaining whole herd consumption.
Consistent Intake
The unique manufacturing process results in a product that cattle must lick in order to consume. This results in consistent, predictable intake that helps to manage costs per head per day.
AFC™ for horn fly control
AFC™ (Altosid®) prevents the emergence of adult horn flies from the manure of treated cattle. This product should be fed throughout the fly season to help keep cattle comfortable and grazing.
