A nutritional supplement containing S-methoprene insect growth regulator for continuous feeding to cattle through the horn fly season.
- Calcium and phosphorus - Calcium and phosphorus are key to bone and teeth strength, as well as several metabolic pathways. Phosphorus also plays a significant role in reproductive efficiency.
- Optimal mineral fortification - Formulated to exceed NRC recommendations for trace minerals, helps overcome antagonists and support optimal animal health and performance.
- Trace mineral amino acid complexes - More readily available form of copper, zinc, manganese, and cobalt, compared it inorganic sources, which support a healthy immune system, overall cattle performance and reproductive performance.
- Selenium yeast - A source of selenium that is easily metabolized, supports reproductive health and performance.
- Optimal vitamin fortification - Vitamins A, D and E support growth, metabolism, reproductive performance and proper immune system function.
- AFC™ for horn fly control - Altosid® Fly Control prevents the emergence of adult horn flies from the manure of treated cattle. This option, formulated for heavier cattle, should be fed throughout the fly season to help keep cattle comfortable and grazing.
- Highly palatable - The addition of salt and other highly palatable ingredients keep cattle seeking out the mineral feeder.
- Rain-Cote® - Reduces the loss of mineral exposed to wind and weather, improve water resistance and reduces ‘bricking-up’ in wet weather.

Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, this product will provide sufficient S-methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected. Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle should consume an average of 0.286 ounces of this product per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 4 ounces per day for a 1,400 pound cow.
1. Assure cattle are not starved for nutrients in this product by providing them prior to feeding this product.
2. This product contains added copper. Do not feed to cattle in close proximity to sheep or other species that have a low tolerance to supplemental copper.
3. Offer cattle 50 pounds of this product for every 15 head of cattle.
4. Remove all other self limiting nutritional supplements while the cattle are consuming this product.
5. Locate this product where cattle congregate (watering, loafing, shade areas).
6. Replenish this product on a regular basis as needed.
7. If intake of this product is below 0.286 ounces per 100 lbs. cattle body weight per day, increase the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas more frequented by cattle.
8. If intake of this product is above 0.286 ounces per 100 lbs. cattle body weight per day, reduce the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas less frequented by cattle.
9. Introduction of this product after adult horn fly infestation is established will require treatment of cattle with adulticides if elimination of the adult fly population is desired.
