Tall Fescue is a cool season grass that is frequently infected with the endophyte fungus. The endophyte produces a variety of ergot alkaloids, which are responsible for the toxic effects observed in cattle. Cattle consuming endophyte fungus will have reduced intakes, weight loss, dull rough hair coat, reduced milk production and poor reproductive performance. Proper pasture and cattle management is key to minimizing the negative effects of endophyte-infected fescue. Adding a well-fortified mineral supplement can help cattle overcome the nutritional challenges that endophyte-infected pasture pose. Framework 365 Mineral Performance Fescue Availa®4 provides the additional nutrition cattle need to thrive.
This mineral is formulated to provide 7 g of Availa®4 when consumed at 4 oz. Availa®4 is research proven to positively impact reproductive performance in beef cattle. The amount consumed will vary depending on the quality, type and quantity of feedstuffs available.
- Availa®4 - Availa®4 amino acid trace mineral complexes offer trace mineral supplementation in a form that is highly bioavailable to the animal and are research proven to improve reproductive performance in cattle.
- Gut Health - A product to help support cattle in the presence of dietary toxins, particularly those derived from toxic tall fescue. The addition of yeast, algae, and clay products helps to maintain gut health and integrity in the face of these challenges.
- Calcium and phosphorus - A 2 to 1 calcium to phosphorus ratio is ideal for cattle on pasture, which tend to be deficient in phosphorus.
- Optimal mineral fortification - Formulated to exceed NASEM 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.
- Highly palatable - The addition of salt and other highly out the mineral feeder – ensuring your investment in their nutrition results in return.
- Rain-Cote - Reduces loss of mineral exposed to wind and weather, improves water resistance and reduces 'bricking-up' in wet weather.
