EnergiLass Cattle Mineral 8 AFC is a mineral and vitamin supplement formulated for cattle grazing green, growing pastures or high quality storage forage.
- 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.
